Yeah, it was fun to think she was shading Monica but it's clear she was shading the fans...on both sides.
Brandy and Monica have had great careers and longevity that not many can say they've had. Monica is still able to recognize how legendary Brandy's voice and career are.
Everytime Brandy shades someone, most assume it's Monica. Like when she was shading Shaye and Keisha until she finally had to star saying #noShayde for people to realize.
Brandy is the happiest and most secure that she has been her entire career...at least it seems that way. No matter the sales of this next album, she's going to lash the way she wants and isn't going to give too many fucks about what people want her to do. She's clearly over that.
