Brandy Clears The Air After Health Scare In Chicago

According to Brandy, the abrupt exit wasn’t about drama — it was about health. On Sunday, October 20, she took to Instagram to explain that after weeks of back-to-back rehearsals, she started feeling faint and dehydrated on stage and had to leave the venue to get checked out by a doctor nearby. Brandy apologized to her fans in Chicago for the show’s sudden end, saying she tried to return and power through. Additionally, between the technical difficulties and her condition, it just wasn’t possible to deliver the experience fans deserved. Still, she showed love to her co-headliner Monica, calling her “my sister” for stepping up when it mattered most. Brandy assured fans she’s taking the necessary precautions and will be back on stage in full force — starting with their next stop in Indianapolis.

“To my dear fans in Chicago, Thank you all for the overwhelming love, support, and—most importantly—your prayers,” Brandy said in a statement. “I sincerely apologize for the abrupt end to last night’s performance in Chicago. After weeks of nonstop rehearsals, last night I experienced dehydration and feelings of wanting to faint, everyone involved agreed that prioritizing my well-being was of the utmost importance.”

Brandy Had The TL Checking In & Cracking Jokes

Fans wasted no time running to The Shade Room comment section once the news broke. And thankfully, the overall vibe was love. Many were just relieved Brandy was okay and prioritizing her health, while others couldn’t help but crack a few lighthearted jokes. Some said, “Aunties need to slow down out here!” while another chimed in, “This is exactly why Beyoncé got 12 fans on stage — hydration is key!”

One Instagram user @manevillewis said, “This is why Beyoncé keeps 12 fans, a water boy and wears body suits. But get well soon.“

This Instagram user @katrinatheartist added, “Yea you gotta hydrate and maybe less layers mama ❤️”

And, Instagram user @oneof6iix wrote, “As a Unc, I get it. We gotta lay down by 8:30.“

Then Instagram user @ms_hawaianjetsfan shared, “Glad she’s ok 🙏🏾 them 40s hit different!“

While Instagram user @fabricconcierge added, “Wishing them a successful tour! It’s not easy! 🙌🙌🙌”

Lastly, Instagram user @red_11.02 wrote, “❤️give her grace, her health comes first above all!“

What Really Went Down In Chicago?

You already know that fans were excited to see Brandy and Monica reunite for their ‘The Boy Is Mine’ tour stop in Chicago. But, things didn’t exactly go as planned. Mid-performance of her hit song ‘Baby,’ Brandy could be seen signaling to the crew about technical issues, specifically something off with her sound. “Give me one second y’all, I gotta get my—” she said before stepping backstage… and never returning.

According to fans in the building, Brandy didn’t hit the stage again that night, leaving Monica to hold it down solo. Monica kept it cute and professional, still sharing love for her tour mate and giving the crowd a performance. However, many noticed the two didn’t perform their classic collab ‘The Boy Is Mine’ before the show wrapped. At the time, Brandy’s camp hadn’t issued a statement, leaving fans online confused and concerned about what went down behind the scenes.

Brandy Apologizes After Abruptly Ending Chicago Show Due to Health Scare

Brandy is expressing gratitude and transparency after her Chicago concert came to an unexpected halt due to a health scare.

In a heartfelt message shared with fans, the Grammy-winning singer apologized for the abrupt end to her performance, explaining that after weeks of nonstop rehearsals, she began to experience dehydration and feelings of wanting to faint during the show.

“Everyone involved agreed that prioritizing my well-being was of the utmost importance,” she wrote.

Despite feeling unwell, Brandy said she attempted to return to the stage and finish her set. However, due to technical challenges, she wasn’t able to fully connect with the production. “I really appreciate everyone’s best efforts,” she added.

The “Full Moon” singer went on to thank her longtime collaborator Monica for stepping in with “grace and professionalism,” along with the entire crew for their care and support.

Brandy shared that she saw a doctor after leaving the arena and has since taken “the proper precautions” to move forward. She assured fans that she’s recovering and eager to get back on stage.

“I look forward to returning to the stage—stronger and more grateful than ever—alongside my girl, Monica, tonight in Indianapolis,” she concluded.

Brandy made an unexpected exit from the stage Saturday night (Oct. 18) at Chicago’s United Center, where she was performing with Monica on the singers’ co-headlining The Boy Is Mine Tour. While she made it through most of the show, her abrupt departure meant fans didn’t get to hear the pair’s signature duet “The Boy Is Mine,” a hit that topped the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for 13 weeks in 1998.

On Sunday, Brandy explained that her early exit was due to a medical concern. She posted a full statement on Instagram.

“To my dear fans in Chicago,” Brandy wrote, “Thank you all for the overwhelming love, support, and—most importantly—your prayers. I sincerely apologize for the abrupt end to last night’s performance in Chicago. After weeks of nonstop rehearsals, last night I experienced dehydration and feelings of wanting to faint. Everyone involved agreed that prioritizing my well-being was of the utmost importance.”

“I still made the decision to try and return and give it my all despite not feeling ok,” said Brandy. “With having to make some adjustments and the show being very technical, unfortunately, it was impossible to fully connect sonically with the production. I really appreciate everyone’s best efforts.”

She added, “I’m deeply grateful to my sister, Monica, for stepping up with such grace and professionalism and the entire crew for their continued care and support.”

Brandy said she sought medical care locally Saturday night and will return to the stage Sunday.

“I went from the arena to see a doctor nearby and have taken the proper precautions to help moving forward,” she wrote. “Your understanding, patience, and unwavering belief mean the world to me. I look forward to returning to the stage—stronger and more grateful than ever—alongside my girl, Monica, tonight in Indianapolis.”

Brandy and Monica have a three-day break following their Oct. 19 show in Indianapolis, before taking the stage together in Nashville on Oct. 24. Their joint tour runs through Dec. 14 in Jacksonville, Fla.

Brandy Was Dehydrated, “Wanted To Faint” Before Exiting Chicago Show

After abruptly leaving the Chicago stop of her and Monica‘s The Boy Is Mine Tour, Brandy Norwood is explaining her exit and apologizing to fans.

The artist explained that she “experienced dehydration and feelings of wanting to faint” before stepping off stage during Saturday’s performance at United Center, noting that she left the venue to “see a doctor nearby” and get checked out.

“To my dear fans in Chicago, Thank you all for the overwhelming love, support, and—most importantly—your prayers,” she said in a statement. “I sincerely apologize for the abrupt end to last night’s performance in Chicago. After weeks of nonstop rehearsals, last night I experienced dehydration and feelings of wanting to faint, everyone involved agreed that prioritizing my well-being was of the utmost importance.”

Norwood continued, “I still made the decision to try and return and give it my all despite not feeling ok. With having to make some adjustments and the show being very technical. Unfortunately, it was impossible to fully connect sonically with the production, I really appreciate everyone’s best efforts.”

The I Know What You Did Last Summer actress added that she’s “deeply grateful to my sister, Monica, for stepping up with such grace and professionalism and the entire crew for their continued care and support.

“I went from the arena to see a doctor nearby and have taken the proper precautions to help moving forward. Your understanding, patience, and unwavering belief mean the world to me,” said Norwood. “I look forward to returning to the stage—stronger and more grateful than ever—alongside my girl, Monica, tonight in Indianapolis. With all my love, Brandy“

Fans of Norwood and Monica were left confused by the abrupt end to Saturday’s concert, after Norwood abruptly walked off-stage early in the performance, leaving Monica to finish the concert solo, without getting to the tour’s eponymous 1998 duet.

“Give me one second y’all I gotta get my—” said Norwood in a video, going backstage after apparently struggling with sound issues, never to return.

After announcing their reunion in June, Brandy and Monica’s The Boy Is Mine Tour kicked off Thursday at Cincinnati’s Heritage Bank Center, featuring appearances from Kelly Rowland and Muni Long.

Kehlani‘s “Folded” is predicted to be a strong contender in the R&B categories at the 2026 Grammys— and for good reason. The Khris Riddick-Tynes, Andre Harris, Donovan Knight, and Don Mills production has become the biggest hit of her career.

Since its June 2025 release, it’s lived on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 16 weeks and recently peaked at No. 18, marking her first top 20 hit. Additionally, “Folded” is the No. 1 song on the Rhythmic chart, peaked No. 1 with Urban Mainstream Radio, and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart. She released the acoustic remix, “(un)Folded,” in July.

VIBE described “Folded” as a “multilayered, sensual ballad about love, lust, yearning, and seduction.” Of its meaning, Keh quipped, “I folded your clothes! Now come fold me up! and i’m folding! and i’m doing the folding! and coochies have folds… so many layers.”

It’s also took on a life of its own with fans and fellow singers.

When reflecting on the success of “Folded” last month, Kehlani shared on Instagram, “I’m here twiddling my thumbs wanting to drop what’s next but God saying watch me work. Looking like a ‘Folded‘ fall. I can’t thank you all enough. A song can change it all.”

Mario, Josh Levi, and Jai’Len Josey were among the first to put their own spin on “Folded.” However, the hypnotizing ballad has since reached GOAT status after the likes of Brandy, Toni Braxton, and JoJo remixed the record.

Kehlani has since confirmed via her Instagram Stories that a “Homage Pack [is] on the way,” supporting rumors and hopes that she should create a compilation EP of the covers. While we wait for a release date and for more information on her new album, relive the “Folded” era below with each cover that has just as much replay value as the original.

    Brandy shook the R&B streets when she dropped her version of “Folded” in mid-September. Fans had already been comparing Kehlani‘s riffs and runs to the Vocal Bible, so this made perfect sense.

    “While I’m busy getting ready for the ALMOST SOLD OUT ‘THE BOY IS MINE TOUR,’ I took a little break from rehearsal to hop on the hottest song of the summer—my lil sis @kehlani ‘FOLDED.’ Adding some Brandy sauce to the mix feels so special because Kehlani is truly like my little sister, and I love her so much,” Brandy said about her cover.

    Keh replied, “MY MOTHERRRRRRRR MY QUEEEEEEEN MY EVERYTHING MY ORIGIN MY HEART THE BIGGEST THE BEST!!!!!!! I LOVE U AND THIS IS THE HIGHEST HONORRRRR.”

  • Toni Braxton

    On Toni Braxton‘s birthday, she decided to gift fans a gift with her surprise cover.

    “When I sing ‘Folded’— it’s UNFOLDED!,” wrote the icon. On her version, she urged women to “not let his body decide,” adding, “It’s time to use your mind.”

    Kehlani‘s reaction summed up how we all felt. “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT,” she wrote with a series of crying emojis and heart eyes.

    Tamar Braxton even praised this version when commenting, “She always Toni Braxton a song. I’m here for it.”

  • JoJo

    JoJo knows how to body a record— just refer to her cover of “Marvin’s Room.” So when she dropped a “JO-LDED” remix, fans already knew it was going to be monumental.

    The songbird shared, “Love this song love this beautiful artist & human @kehlani— thanks for asking me to hop on and make a ‘JO-LDED’ remix. Here’s a lil somethin I wrote last night to theeeee song of the moment- straight from the studio. Thank you for always showing me love, standing up for what’s right, & fully embodying fearlessness. Xoxoxoxoxooxooxoxoxo.”

    Kehlani gave her an outpouring of flowers in the comments and added, “I LOVE YOU SO DEEPLY. FOREVER EMBEDDED IN MY DNA!”

  • Mario

    Mario‘s rendition hit the streets in late August as a gift for Virgo season.

    “UNFOLDING VIRGO SEASON,” said the crooner. “You know if it’s real R&B #mariomonday gotta sliiiide!!! S/O to @kehlani for giving is this masterpiece!”

    Kehlani jokingly called it and him “my #1.”

  • Tank

    Not long after Toni Braxton shared her “Folded” cover, Tank entered the chat.

    “Alright, Kehlani. Now, this ‘Folded’ s**t is crazy. It’s getting outta control. F**king smash record. Super smash,” he teased. As the self-proclaimed “challenge king,” he initially told fans he needed 24 hours before dropping his version.

    He ended up releasing his cover within a few hours. “Why wait?.. Come get ‘Folded’..,” he teased. In true Tank fashion, he made the record entirely his own with new musical arrangements and an original verse.

  • Honorable Mentions: Eric Bellinger, Jacquees, And More

    We couldn’t let the aforementioned GOATs have all the fun and neither could these artists because like we said, “Folded” is one of the greatest R&B records of 2025 and we collectively can’t get enough.

    Check out an extended list of other amazing covers from the likes of Eric Bellinger, Vedo, and Jacquees to Jai’Len Josey, Queen Naija, and Tiffany Evans.

Brandy and Monica are teaming up for their first-ever co-headlining tour in Fall 2025. Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, Coco Jones, and 2025 American Idol winner Jamal Roberts will join them as special guests.

Aptly titled “The Boy Is Mine Tour,” the 32-date run kicks off on October 16th in Cincinnati, with subsequent stops including Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, DC. See the full schedule below. Update: New stops have been added in Nashville and Kansas City, while Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta have received additional dates.

Of course, the co-headlining tour is named after Brandy and Monica’s classic 1998 duet “The Boy Is Mine,” which spent a record-breaking 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won them a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The artists previously reunited on “It All Belongs to Me” in 2012.

“This really is a full-circle moment. Monica and I coming together again isn’t just about the music — it’s about honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come,” Brandy said in a statement. “‘The Boy Is Mine’ was a defining chapter in R&B, and to share the stage all these years later is bigger than a reunion — it’s a celebration of growth, sisterhood, and the love our fans have given us from day one.”

Monica added, “The love that ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to receive means everything to me. This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us. Brandy and I have been on our own unique journeys, and coming back together in this way is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music. We’re giving the people what they’ve been asking for, and doing it with grace, love, and purpose. God’s timing perfectly aligned us.”

Last year, the duo gained a whole new generation of fans after making a surprise cameo in Ariana Grande’s music video for “the boy is mine.” Brandy and Monica contributed to the subsequent “the boy is mine” remix, which earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
