Between the lines: They rose to fame as teenagers, but for years reports hinted at drama between the two artists.
The two have since reconciled, become mothers, pursued acting careers and are back performing together.
Fun fact: Monica and Brandy were mentored by the legendary Whitney Houston.
If you go: The Boy is Mine Chicago stop will feature guests such as Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, Jamal Roberts and Coco Jones.
What's next: They'll be back for a second show Oct. 25 at Wintrust Arena. Get tickets here.
💠My thought bubble: I grew up listening to Brandy and watching her show "Moesha." I got into Monica when I was older. I'll be unashamedly singing off-key with fans.
My go-to songs? Brandy's "I Wanna Be Down" and Monica's "Before You Walk Out of My Life."
