The boy tribute post is mine…
On Wednesday, music legend Whitney Houston — who accidentally drowned in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton in 2012 — would have turned 53.
Earlier that day, Monica posted a touching tribute to the How Will I Know singer on Instagram (see HERE) saying, “Nippy… will forever be the greatest… will forever be missed.”

Hours later, rival Brandy shared her own tribute thanking Houston “for trusting me with the torch.” She wrote:
Lord have mercy on my soul!!! Happy Born Day Whitney. You live on in me… I can feel your Spirit inside of me and all around me. My angel, my friend, my fairy God Mother. I love you forever… thank you for trusting me with the torch!!! I remember every moment with you and I and I will cherish these miraculous moments forever and ever! I love you…. 8/9-2/11 #WhitneyHoustonA post shared by b r ├░┼╕┼╜┬ñn d Y (@4everbrandy) on Aug 9, 2017 at 7:55am PDT
Although the former friends collaborated on the hit 1998 song The Boy Is Mine, they’ve been feuding for the past two decades.
Once the Internet caught wind of Ray J sister’s homage to Houston, many thought she was trying to steal the attention away from Monica, and make Whitney’s birthday about her.

Monica’s So Gone challenge really pissed Brandy off because she tried to do the Bestfriend challenge and no one did it. Kjfslyjzltjxljtxkh

I hope that one of Brandy’s friends has called her by now to counsel her to stop posting on IG today.

There’s a BIG difference in Monica & Brandy’s posts about Whitney today.
Only one of them was actually about Whitney.

Brandy: “Excuse me, Whitney Houston was my idol and she loved me. It’s up to me to carry out her legacy.”

You mention anything about Whitney Houston and here come Brandy busting through the door with her Escalade like the Kool Aid Man.

However, Brandy wasn’t going to let the trolls get the last word. She wrote the following lengthy responses in the comments section!
Can’t we all just get along??
