Monica Blasts Fan Who Thinks She Got A New Partner Too Quick

Monica is currently on the road with Nicki Minaj for her Pink Friday 2 world tour, and it looks like her man is by her side. Moreover, she recently posted some pictures with her boyfriend Anthony Wilson on Instagram, which Instagram account The Neighborhood Talk chose to shout out. In that post’s comments section, one fan had some particularly harsh words for the singer moving on from her past known relationship, which was her ten-year marriage to Shannon Brown from 2010 to 2019, when she filed for divorce. “Y’all don’t believe in staying single and cleansing the last man out your [cat emoji],” the fan commented.

“My last one couldn’t even get no damn [cat emoji],” Monica clapped back to the attempted cleanser in the comments section. “& that was 2.5 yrs ago !!! this is why it’s better to speak what you know or just MYMFBB,” she concluded, which we assume means… Well, we won’t spoil it for you. Regardless, it’s not the only other recent rumor that the College Park native had to address recently. When some fans theorized that she got a BBL, she was quick to set the record straight on Instagram Live.

“Y’all got jokes,” Monica told her audience on the social media platform before her PF2 shows with her “Love Me Enough” collaborator began. “Let me tell you something. My health is far too bad to be playing like that. For me a BBL would mean bought by Linda,” she explained, which was a praiseful and commendatory message to her stylist. “Mama don’t play! I won’t even get lash extensions; I still wear strips I can rip off. I done kept it real with y’all so long y’all forgot.”

Meanwhile, the 43-year-old’s ex C-Murder recently seemed to address her comments on being heartbroken. “I don’t know why someone feels the need to publicly bash a person that’s fighting for their life??” the incarcerated rapper wrote on IG. “I am a black male fighting and hoping for freedom one day. Wanna speak on something??  Let’s talk about freeing us Louisiana inmates still held illegally and unconstitutionally by a racist Jim Crow law through a non-retroactive 10/2 non unanimous jury. Facts.I am asking all celebrities against RACISM to visit this website: www.louisianabusinessesagainstracistlaws.com and retweet to help relieve modern day slavery and to sign our petition for freedom.

Katt Williams Had A Hilarious Response To Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’ Guest Opener Invite

On March 1, Nicki Minaj kicked off her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. Although the intense performance run features special guest Monica, the opening slot remains unfilled. Back in February, the “Beep Beep” rapper began to gauge her fan base to see who they felt would be a good fit.

Through a live stream, Minaj finally landed on “the busiest man in show business,” Katt Williams. During the broadcast, she urged her fans to relay her invitation. “Can y’all hit up Katt Williams,” she said. “Ask him what would be his price to be a part of the ‘Pink Friday 2 Gag City Tour?””

Well, Williams has finally responded to Minaj. On March 3, as part of his Dark Matter Tour stop in Charlotte, North Carolina, he made a hilarious joke about the potential business venture. “Nicki Minaj said she wanted me on her tour, and she told so many people a million people hit my phone at the same time,” he said. It scared me and Jesus. He shut all of AT&T down!”

Although Williams’ reply wasn’t exactly a proper yes or no, it was enough to hype ticketholders up online. There are still several dozen dates left on the Pink Friday 2 World Tour, but perhaps Williams would be down to join after he wraps up his contractual duties.

Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’ Opening Night Was Nearly Overshadowed After A Video Surfaced Of Fans Fighting At The Show

Nicki Minaj came out swinging to kick off her highly anticipated Pink Friday 2 World Tour.

Unfortunately, so did a few of her devoted super fans, the Barbs. As the “Beep Beep” rapper took to the Oakland Arena stage on March 1, clips of her opening performance quickly flooded social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). But there was one video that stole all the spotlight, and it didn’t involve Minaj at all. A now-viral visual shared on the platform showed several concertgoers involved in a vicious brawl.

In the clip, two attendees are seen punching another ticketholder. The blows exchange as security watches from afar before eventually intervening to separate the parties. With tensions still high, the last frame of the video shows the individuals yelling while being held back before it ends.

It is unclear what initiated the incident as none of the individuals have been publicly identified. Minaj also hasn’t addressed the viral video. However, she did take a moment to pen a touching note to her fans for their continued support days later. “Dear Barbz, I love you,” she wrote. “I really do. Always have. Always will.”

Minaj has several dozen shows left on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. The next performance is slated for March 8 in Las Vegas, Nevada. View the full tour schedule (here), working setlist (here), and tour merch (here).

Does Monica Have A BBL? “The Boy Is Mine” Singer Addresses Speculation

In the music industry today, BBLs are virtually as common as recording contracts. Most of our favourite rap divas have undergone plastic surgery procedures to physically enhance themselves, be it breast augmentations, butt injections, or tummy tucks. Of course, each individual is free to do what they want with their body, but dishonesty about what’s natural and what’s fake has left a bad taste in some fan’s mouths. Presently, BBLs are so popular that the internet seems to have a hard time discerning who’s gone under the knife, and who’s been in the gym. Genre-bending artist Monica is the latest to be flooded with accusations of getting her body done, which she openly addressed on social media.

As AllHipHop reports, “The Boy Is Mine” hitmaker graced the stage at Tycoon Music Festival in Atlanta last week (February 13). After her performance, social media sleuths shared videos online pointing to Monica’s curvaceous behind in her green, velvet costume. “If Monica got a BBL I don’t like it, [because] her a** sittin’ higher than Jesus,” one Twitter/X user wrote. “It’s giving d relly where the money reside booty.” When the 43-year-old got wind of the comments she had no problem addressing them during an Instagram Live session yesterday (February 19).

“Y’all got jokes,” she told viewers. “Let me tell you something. My health is far too bad to be playing like that.

I won’t even get lash extensions; I still wear strips I can rip off. I done kept it real with y’all so long y’all forgot.”

Before she was allowed to join Nicki Minaj on her upcoming tour, Monica candidly expressed online that she felt forgotten by the music industry. We’re curious to see how helping to promote Pink Friday 2 might revitalize her career, especially now that the internet has so much to say about her body.

On Saturday, Dec. 28, as Monica took the stage, fans immediately noticed that something seemed off. 

It was stated that the “So Gone” singer arrived late for her performance, causing a wave of concern among the audience. However, the singer suddenly passed out near the stairs, having to leave in an ambulance. 

Numerous fans took to social media to express their worry and send well wishes to Monica. One fan tweeted, “Poor girl, I hope #Monica is ok! She passed out and I know she had about 20 more minutes in her. She had just performed “So Gone” here in Houston, TX and like 5 minutes after she took her jacket off she passed out, something did seem off.  Here she is singing “For You I Will.” She paid homage to ppl who passed away.”

Monica’s Health

While Monica’s team has yet to address the incident publicly, TMZ reports that the singer has a history of health issues. She has previously battled high blood pressure and undergone multiple surgeries for endometriosis. Before Monica’s health incident, the singer had been seen doing “well.”

She had recently appeared on Instagram Live with rapper Nicki Minaj and Keyshia Cole, during which Minaj teased their collaboration, “Love Me Enough.” Monica also recently debuted her new radio show, “Mo Talk,” which aims to provide a platform for engaging conversations.

The incident involving Monica fainting at her concert in Houston brings to mind the challenges that musicians often face in maintaining their health. Lil Durk, a prominent rapper, encountered a similar situation in July 2023 when he was hospitalized for severe dehydration and exhaustion, which led to the cancellation of his summer tour.
