The only thing this revealed IMO is that it wasn't the industry pitting them against each other. It was simply Monica didn't like Brandy because she was uppitty. Whether Monica admits it or not she is an example of what we see in the hood all the time. Hood girl attacks poised girl cause she think she better than everyone, when reality is she's projecting her own insecurities.
Dallas couldn't even finish saying Brandy didn't like Mo, because he knows that wasn't true. All arrows lead to Monica, Brandy did nothing to that girl. Monica was consistently the only one alluding to beef...even as far back as that Vibe article in 98.
Monica current personality doesn't fool me one bit, something happened behind the scenes and Mo knows it. She wasn't playing nice due to growth, she played nice cause Brandy knew shit the public didn't. I still believe that TBIM sample caused a tide to turn.
