Brandy, Monica Light Up LCA for ‘The Boy Is Mine’ Concert in Detroit

December 2, 2025

On November 29th in Detroit, R&B legends Brandy and Monica brought their co-headlining tour to Little Caesars Arena, performing together for the first time in 25 years since their hit collaboration. Despite snowy weather, enthusiastic fans filled the venue to watch a star-studded lineup that included opening performances from Jamal Roberts, Mya (substituting for an ill Muni Long), and Kelly Rowland. The headliners delivered a creative multi-act show that alternated between competitive "versus" segments, individual solo spotlights, and collaborative performances, featuring multiple costume changes and special guest appearances by Detroit artists including Kash Doll, Skilla Baby, and Icewear Vezzo.
