During a stop on The Boy Is Mine Tour, Monica playfully confiscated Ray J’s phone live on stage — shortly after Ray J had publicly called out Beyoncé and Jay‑Z for allegedly ignoring his sister Brandy during tour appearances.

Earlier this week, Ray J took to Instagram to urge Beyoncé and Jay-Z — who had reportedly attended multiple shows on the tour’s schedule — to show some recognition for Brandy, claiming they had never “said what’s up” to her despite their presence at various dates. 
At the concert where Monica intervened, she addressed the crowd: “Before we leave here, I am going to take Ray J’s phone… give me the phone, Ray.” She then teased him while thanking him onstage, telling the audience they should make some noise for him.

Despite the headline-making moment, Monica emphasized that it came from a place of familial care: she called Ray J “my brother too” — a remark echoed by Brandy, who quipped that she expected fans to chant “Monica is my sister now!” for the rest of the night.

The exchange — part humor, part family-style intervention — has stirred chatter online, with viewers noting how the incident underscored ongoing tension and speculation about backstage dynamics on the tour.
