The musician teased that the residency, which comes after their 2025 The Boy Is Mine Tour, will be “elevated and just great and phenomenal, and I’m just so excited.”

Brandy added that she “can’t wait to get to work” on the 10-show experience ahead of the tour kickoff over Memorial Day weekend in 2027.

“We have a lot to prepare for, but we look forward to it,” Monica revealed, noting that she and Brandy “really start to create when we get together.”

She promised that the pair will get into Resorts World Las Vegas and “make it an experience” that fans won’t soon forget.

“[We’ll] make sure we take them into what it was like to be a part of music from 1994 up until this very moment,” Monica told Us.

Brandy and Monica initially collaborated on “The Boy Is Mine” in 1988. The duet was featured on both artist’s second studio albums, Brandy’s Never Say Never and Monica’s The Boy Is Mine.

Monica and Brandy reunited in 2012 to record the “It All Belongs to Me” single. They also made a cameo in Ariana Grande’s 2024 music video for her song “The Boy Is Mine,” which is a reimagining of the ‘90s classic.

Amid the song’s resurgence, Brandy and Monica embarked on their The Boy Is Mine Tour, which ran from October to December 2025 across the U.S.

When asked why fans are craving all-things ‘90s, including their music, Brandy told Us, “Because the ’90s is where it’s at. It’s the best. I just feel like that’s where it’s at.”

The Moesha alum pointed out, “The most incredible artists came out in the ’90s. Whitney [Houston] was in the ’90s. Mariah Carey‘s in the ’90s.”

Monica couldn’t agree more, saying that all the ‘90s artists were “individuals” who flourished in their respective lanes.

“We all had our own sound, our own vibes, and it was so welcomed. It wasn’t where everything sounded the same,” she recalled. “That’s what I think people are craving, those differences and those nuances between all of us that made us all so different.”

Monica added that by teaming up with Brandy, fans will get the best of both worlds — past and present.

“Coming together, it just brings you to that moment two times over,” she concluded. “So that’s how we want people to feel when they come to Resorts World.”

Tickets for The Boy Is Mine residency go on sale Friday, November 20.

Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
