Updated as of Friday, March 22 at 1:35p.m. PT: Ray J has issued an apology to Monica after his comments about a proposed joint tour with her and his sister.
“Monica if I said anything wrong, I apologize,” he said on the “Way Up With Angela Yee” podcast. “You are a great artist, you and Brandy have made history together and all I want to do is just kind of like shake it up a little bit to get y’all to see that, this should be one of those like last wave tours. Like let’s do this for like the next three years. Let’s hit every globe and into Mars and like other places, right? That takes imagination. Give the world what they want.”

Singer Monica is not too happy with Ray J suggesting that she and his sister Brandy go on a joint tour together.
Ray J made the comments on his most recent appearance on “The Breakfast Club” where he suggested that if the two should go on tour, Monica would have to open up for Brandy. Once Monica got wind of it, she took to social media to ask Ray to stop drumming up fan excitement over a hypothetical tour that hasn’t been solidified or contracted.
“I’ve been repeatedly contacted about interviews ect [sic] where my name and tour possibilities are being discussed!,” Monica wrote in a since-deleted post on her Instagram Story. “I’ve not received any contracts or calls about said tour. @rayj I’m kindly asking you to stop speaking on me in public! A private conversation would both be necessary and respectful! Brandy is a legend! She’s one with an extensive back catalog that I deeply respect & a voice sent from heaven.”
She continued:
“The conversation being had without she and I is beginning to muddy the waters severely! She and I are both consummate professionals that share a massive recording as well as an entire era! Please allow this to remain positive and beautiful! Neither should open, we should give someone else that opportunity and co-headline a massive shared stage if this is to ever happen. Any further convo should be private!”
In a later post, Monica added: “I get it, I will forever be the ‘bad guy’ in this situation and no one will EVER pay attention or read/ listen to understand!!! I have no issues with anyone but it’s not real unless there’s a deal!!!”
She continued, “There’s no 100. No contract. Media outlets calling for comments about an imaginary tour & this unfairly spikes the excitement of our supporters and the insinuation that the hold up of said (imaginary) deal taking place is, ME!”
Lastly, Monica added, “The Breakfast Club interview is the first I’ve acknowledged of the antics! We both deserve the respect of real business being done.”
And there you have it.
