Yeeeeaaa... Brandy JUST started getting  her flowers/respect within the past like 5 years. Ghan has been criminally underrated for most of her career. :dead:

but I think the difference is there was a time were Brandy was very widely celebrated in this industry and even when she wasn't their was like a pocket of the industry that REALLY respected her and cited her as someone they looked up to. Look at podcast like R&B money and how many people name Brandy as one of their favorite artists.  Monica doesn't really get the same kinda support
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw





FUCK Bey

Now it kinda feels like everyone is all of a sudden a Brandy fan, just to look "musically/vocally inclined." Lol but I love the love she's getting nevertheless.


FUCK Bey

Brandy has NEVER been in certain conversations before, now she's always there and the gorls love to give "oh, they just don't get it! Lolz" And probably just found out about Fullmoon last year...

Mon does deserve more recognition than she gets.
!!!!!!!!
Because I dont truly buy that she just DOESN'T CARE, who wouldn't wanna be recognized for their contributions to an industry they've been in since being a CHILD! I think she has just reconciled with always being 2nd or 3rd or WHATEVER. She is very mature about it tho

!!!
She's very mature about it. Unlike some of these other artists making long ass posts fuming and throwing tantrums about being snubbed.

Yea, as if you're ENTITLED to recognition, awards, etc.  Thats actually pathetic.  I appreciate that Monica hasnt drank her own kool aid because there was definitely a time when she was on top and could be mad about having NO recognition

Mons deserves her things. She ate up Billboard through multiple eras.

And it's one thing to not be celebrated by the YTs but when ur own people dont recognize u, that's hurtful. Like yea we can probably bitch about Brandy not getting enough but she's always gotten a LITTLE sumn. What was that show that she waa tributed by jade novah, kierra sheard, samoa, and Eric bellinger? And was that the soul train awards where she was dressed like Benjamin Franklin and climbing up ladders? Brandy has always had a lil sumn sumn. And Now if this BET thing is true, that's another thing. I cant lie and say I wouldn't be silently fuming on the inside

Quote from: rosone1 on Today at 11:25:41 AMI'll never forget when Billboard gave Beyonce an award for having the most calendar weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 by a female in Billboard history (17) but Monica had more (18) and a reader called them out on it.

Or when The Boy is Mine, the biggest female collab in music history lost the Soul Train award to 702. :plzstop:


Many like to play on Mons career but she did very well through several eras on billboard and radio.
Monica needs to start bragging on her career more because many do not realize how well she has done.
Her husband should be angling for that billboard lifetime award for their 2027 show. Mons has hit after hit and a #1 album billboard owes her that lifetime achievement award.

Black award shows back then were trash because they play favorites like the whites and many like Mons, Keyshia (she should have cleaned up off of Love alone), Fanny, and Brandy should have been loaded up on several of them awards. Now there are no Black owned award shows. So the ladies are screwed still.

EVERYONE wants to be acknowledged for their accomplishments in one way or another. Monica doesn't have the right team. They're the ones who should be putting her out there more. At this point her legacy is IG photoshoots and being the hood godmother/street evangelist.

Mons was always an afterthought and it's honestly not fair.

I had no idea that she received ZERO nominations during the ATS era :plzstop: "So Gone" was worthy of a nod
