Monica is an underrated legend, a lot of ppl don't acknowledge how amazing she is as an amazing vocalist and singer. Hands down Monica👑

[@broaj1453]

Yes, indeed!!! I remember listening to Monica as a kid with my older siblings in the 90s and Monica is just a couple of years older than me and she is the best!!! I love listening to her speak and she is so genuine and loving to everyone!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

I've always loved Monica. And she sounds like a great friend too, keeping the groupies away from Common. 😂❤

[@Beyondme7700]

Yes she's a libra they make great friends and are very loyal

[@RiMoniqueL]

Wow Melo is a young man now!! Her whole family is beautiful. Love Mo!!!!!

[@kiddgoldson]

He favors Monica alot

[@ThatBranB]

Look at Monica raising her young prince's and princess. The sport Momma really popped out and Melo just standing and speaking respectfully. Cool he showed some of his personality as well. Looking forward to this LOOOOOONG await album from Monica. Its crazy that at his age Monica was in creating her sophomore album.

[@kristopherdavis2715]

Monica is r&b royalty!!! She deserves all the attention she’s getting and more because she did not get her proper dues during her era unfortunately. After spawning all of those HITS!! Granted there was REAL talent/music in her era so the competition was tough but she held her own! Not to mention she’s been one of the most consistent musically from era! Gotta respect it. Monica got #1 hits under her belt and impressive chart history! She’s criminally underrated!! She deserves this! All of it!!

[@rashadhaughton22]

I love the “yes maam” ❤

[@ajordan1847]

Monica is the friend you need. She said, not on my watch. To the onlookers: 🚫✋🏾"I saw your boo...and said keep it moving."😂😂😂...❤ Fan from the beginning, from "One of Dem Days" and on. ❤

[@yvonnewilliams8800]

Love this❤. But I think Monica just called out Common as Jennifer’s boo. Even though he was on the show and everyone knows, Jennifer still isn’t speaking on him like that for the public😉

Cant get the hood out of Monica, lol. look at those nails, u dont have to do that anymore

She can do wtf she wants. Monica has carried herself well through her entire career, you see one thing and make a dumb comment. Find you some respect

[@veeode4996]

Nails weren't that long and only one color yet Jennifer has sparkly blinged out nails and you said nothing about that. Always some catty man making remarks. Get the hood out of yourself.
