- 0:56Speaker 1: they want to say, what's up to be too when
- 0:57Speaker 1: she comes to the Boy's Monitor. And we've been of
- 1:00Speaker 1: Beyonce at the tour with jay Z, you know, with
- 1:04Speaker 1: family looking off for Kelly. Y'all know they sisters, okay,
- 1:09Speaker 1: but we have not seen photos of her with Brandy,
- 1:11Speaker 1: we've seen her with Monica and everyone else that has
- 1:13Speaker 1: come through the tour.
- 1:14Speaker 2: From what I am.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Told you know and what we reported earlier exclusively on
- 1:17Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club this morning, it's because you know, they
- 1:20Speaker 1: really don't bang with each other like that, and I
- 1:21Speaker 1: want to get into what that means, because I did
- 1:23Speaker 1: see some outlets picking up my report, and I want
- 1:26Speaker 1: to be very clear in this conversation because these women
- 1:29Speaker 1: are both to icons that I do respect, but there
- 1:32Speaker 1: is a story here and we are going to talk
- 1:33Speaker 1: about it. So this morning we talked about the fact that,
- 1:37Speaker 1: you know, it's it's no love last, It's it's not
- 1:40Speaker 1: a girl fight, cat fight or anything like that. These
- 1:43Speaker 1: are just two people who just keep it pushing, you know,
- 1:46Speaker 1: It's very we'recordial, we keep it pushing, and that is
- 1:49Speaker 1: why we have not seen photos of them on the
- 1:52Speaker 1: Boy is Mine tour. I got a call after I
- 1:56Speaker 1: reported this story. Honestly, literally right as I was walking
- 1:58Speaker 1: in here to do the podcas Now, this source picked
- 2:02Speaker 1: up the phone and called me after seeing my report
- 2:04Speaker 1: on The Breakfast Club this morning and wanted to have
- 2:07Speaker 1: a conversation, a conversation of pushback against my report. So
- 2:12Speaker 1: we did, and I'm always open for conversation because, look,
- 2:15Speaker 1: you have pushback, you're welcome to present it. I have
- 2:18Speaker 1: pushed back as well, and I have questions because if
- 2:20Speaker 1: I report something, I know what I report is reptable.
- 2:25Speaker 1: And this morning, when I did the story, the only
- 2:27Speaker 1: reason I ever do a story on a source, even
- 2:30Speaker 1: if I do a story where I'm not saying a
- 2:31Speaker 1: source and I'm telling you exactly who I spoke to,
- 2:33Speaker 1: is because it's not whether about I believe it or
- 2:37Speaker 1: or I don't believe it or whatever, as far as
- 2:40Speaker 1: you know, just me dictating what's true and what's not.
- 2:43Speaker 1: It's more about do I feel like this person that
- 2:45Speaker 1: I'm speaking to is reptable enough for me to bring you,
- 2:48Speaker 1: guys this conversation. I am getting information from sources that
- 2:53Speaker 1: I have vetted that are gonna give me their honest
- 2:56Speaker 1: and factual take from both from their sides of things
- 2:59Speaker 1: or always sides to a story. So the source called
- 3:04Speaker 1: me and they wanted to get into a conversation about
- 3:07Speaker 1: you know why we haven't seen Beyonce and Brandy take photo.
- 3:10Speaker 1: So from what they're saying is the way that the
- 3:13Speaker 1: show the Brandy and Monica boy Is Mind tour is
- 3:16Speaker 1: set up. Kelly comes on at a forty five pm
- 3:19Speaker 1: and let me tell y'all, Kelly starts on time. When
- 3:21Speaker 1: I went to the Boy's Mind show, I just knew,
- 3:25Speaker 1: I'm like, they not gonna be on time like shows,
- 3:27Speaker 1: and not just because it's us and we black, but
- 3:29Speaker 1: just tours in general and shows in general. Live productions
- 3:32Speaker 1: in general run late. Sometimes things happen, things come up.
- 3:36Speaker 1: So I got there, I probably I missed. Kelly told
- 3:39Speaker 1: said I call her last song, I called Dilemma. So
- 3:41Speaker 1: I was late because they started drop of a dime.
- 3:44Speaker 1: So the show starts at eight forty five pm on time,
- 3:47Speaker 1: and Kelly goes off stage.
- 3:48Speaker 2: At nine thirty.
- 3:50Speaker 1: From there, each woman right, so once they're done their sex,
- 3:53Speaker 1: so Brandy and Monica come on after that and do
- 3:55Speaker 1: their thing. So the source is telling me is that
- 3:58Speaker 1: after this, you know, the whole show goes down. Each
- 4:02Speaker 1: girl packs it up, gets out of there because they
- 4:04Speaker 1: got to get to the next city, which is typically
- 4:06Speaker 1: four to five hours you know, wherever, or even if
- 4:09Speaker 1: they're headed to their like off days, because there are
- 4:11Speaker 1: like off days scheduled within these tours.
- 4:12Speaker 2: They got to get out and a lot of times
- 4:14Speaker 2: and these venues majority of the time.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Now, this source said, you know, almost indefinitely, like when
- 4:19Speaker 1: every tour stop, they're packing up and trying to be
- 4:22Speaker 1: out of there by midnight. So this source says, you know,
- 4:27Speaker 1: they're focused on work. From what the source says to me,
- 4:31Speaker 1: the reason why we don't see photos and the and
- 4:34Speaker 1: the source is pushing back on my report and they're
- 4:36Speaker 1: saying they're working. The girls just don't have time because
- 4:40Speaker 1: they're working. When they get there, they're a hair makeup
- 4:43Speaker 1: for three to four hours and then boom they hit
- 4:45Speaker 1: the stage. The source said to me, Lauren, they're in
- 4:48Speaker 1: sports arenas. These arenas are not set up like concert venues.
- 4:51Speaker 1: You could have one dressing room all the way on
- 4:53Speaker 1: one side, another dressing room all the way on another side.
- 4:56Speaker 1: And again I am open to all information, but I
- 5:00Speaker 1: did ask questions, and I'm gonna get to the questions
- 5:03Speaker 1: that I asked. So I said, Okay, I understand that
- 5:05Speaker 1: they're focused on work, but every night, this concept, for
- 5:10Speaker 1: what I was told by my source, who you know,
- 5:12Speaker 1: gave me the original story that you know, not really
- 5:15Speaker 1: much to see here, but the girls they just Ringy
- 5:17Speaker 1: and Beyonce just have chosen not to. They don't do
- 5:19Speaker 1: each other, and that's just simple. And I don't know
- 5:22Speaker 1: why it's an issue if they have chosen that, Like,
- 5:26Speaker 1: I don't know why that's an issue.
- 5:27Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they hate each other. I'm not
- 5:30Speaker 2: any of that.
- 5:30Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Hey, these are two women who have
- 5:33Speaker 1: said respectfully, I'm good.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Shouldn't be anything wrong with that.
- 5:44Speaker 1: But I pushed back and I said, Okay, I understand
- 5:46Speaker 1: what you're saying about the show set up. I understand
- 5:48Speaker 1: what you're saying about them being at work. I've been
- 5:50Speaker 1: to the show, so I know how on point it is,
- 5:52Speaker 1: how great the women look whenever they come out, how
- 5:54Speaker 1: amazing of a show all the ladies involve deliver. However,
- 5:59Speaker 1: we're seeing these moments almost every show of people backstage
- 6:05Speaker 1: being able to greet the women and take photos with
- 6:08Speaker 1: the women. Brandy, Monica, Kelly, all of these people involved. Right,
- 6:13Speaker 1: if what you're saying is true, and you're telling me
- 6:16Speaker 1: that my report is basically, you know, not correct, which
- 6:19Speaker 1: I stood on my report, why haven't we seen a
- 6:24Speaker 1: interaction with Beyonce in Brandy and I specifically mentioned Michelle Obama.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I said, okay, so how does Michelle Obama moment happen backstage?
- 6:37Speaker 1: If it's so you know, work work, work, that's it
- 6:40Speaker 1: and we're out. And from what I was told, it's like, oh,
- 6:44Speaker 1: Michelle Obama has secret service. And you know, there was
- 6:48Speaker 1: a very long walk for her to get to go
- 6:50Speaker 1: and take the photos that she took and all of
- 6:52Speaker 1: the things. And I'm like, I understand the very long
- 6:55Speaker 1: walk thing. I know how backstage or some of these
- 6:57Speaker 1: venues can be set up. I've been to these and
- 7:00Speaker 1: been backstage at these venues, so I get that. But
- 7:05Speaker 1: you say Michelle Obama has secret service and is able
- 7:08Speaker 1: to maneuver as if Beyonce doesn't. I mean Beyonce don't
- 7:12Speaker 1: have secret service, don't get me wrong, but Beyonce has
- 7:15Speaker 1: top Like it's Beyonce. She's not just moving, you know,
- 7:20Speaker 1: with security that he just threw her way because she
- 7:22Speaker 1: popped up on the tour. And sometimes it's Beyonce with
- 7:25Speaker 1: her kids. Sometimes it's Beyonce with her kids and her
- 7:27Speaker 1: husband jay Z like beyond, it's not just any old body.
- 7:31Speaker 1: So if you guys wanted to figure out maneuvering her,
- 7:35Speaker 1: she comes wellly equipped with a security team and handlers
- 7:38Speaker 1: to be able to do that. And then and then
- 7:43Speaker 1: you know, the source mentioned again, well they're trying to
- 7:47Speaker 1: get out of there by midnight. You know, we got
- 7:49Speaker 1: we got to get out of there by midnight. We
- 7:51Speaker 1: pack up, we leave. So then I say, well, what
- 7:53Speaker 1: about the Rihanna moment? Because you saw Rihanna, and I
- 7:57Speaker 1: purposely made sure that I brought up people who I
- 8:00Speaker 1: because I know, like people come out on stage and
- 8:02Speaker 1: their guests of this person and guess of that person.
- 8:04Speaker 1: So you know, maybe you might not get to see everybody, right,
- 8:07Speaker 1: But for Beyonce too, have been at this tour multiple
- 8:11Speaker 1: times and there have been nothing arranged or whatever. And
- 8:15Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Beyonce has to
- 8:17Speaker 1: go out of her way to speak to Brandy or
- 8:20Speaker 1: to take the photos or do it for the gram
- 8:22Speaker 1: and or anything.
- 8:23Speaker 2: It neither is Brandy at all. But you would think,
- 8:26Speaker 2: even if not planned, you would catch and on.
- 8:29Speaker 1: The fly moment because they're there and it's obvious that
- 8:33Speaker 1: you know, both women are iconic.
- 8:36Speaker 2: I know that they are, you.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Know, probably fans of each other's talent, even if they're
- 8:40Speaker 1: not besties.
- 8:41Speaker 2: In real life.
- 8:42Speaker 1: The source pointed out that Brandy samples dangerously in love
- 8:46Speaker 1: when she performs Who is she to you? The source
- 8:49Speaker 1: pointed out, Brandy has been to the Renaissance tour with
- 8:52Speaker 1: her daughter, and we saw Brandy post about that. No
- 8:55Speaker 1: photos of Beyonce though, but she did post about, you know,
- 8:58Speaker 1: thanking her daughter for a great not out. But my
- 9:01Speaker 1: simple question was, okay, even if not planned, right, because
- 9:06Speaker 1: when I brought up the Rihanna moment, the source said,
- 9:08Speaker 1: that wasn't planned. You know, there was just a blot
- 9:10Speaker 1: going on. We ran into Rihanna, they did what they did,
- 9:13Speaker 1: we moved on. I said, okay, even not planned, because
- 9:15Speaker 1: we've seen moments you know, backstage. Obviously from what you're
- 9:19Speaker 1: saying that we're not planned, but just because of how
- 9:23Speaker 1: amazing these women are and how they're defining the odds
- 9:26Speaker 1: of you know, being women in the space they stop
- 9:28Speaker 1: and acknowledge each other, Rihanna and Brandy and you know,
- 9:31Speaker 1: all the things. So I asked the source, why haven't
- 9:34Speaker 1: we seen that? The source said, I can't speak to that.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I haven't been on every single tour stop. I'm not
- 9:40Speaker 1: in you know, Brandy's personal phone. So I don't know
- 9:43Speaker 1: if they've had interaction outside of like maybe you know,
- 9:46Speaker 1: not just a running that could have been caught on camera.
- 9:49Speaker 2: And I said, well, can you say to me on
- 9:52Speaker 2: the record that.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Brandy or Beyonce, from either side, there's been an attempt
- 10:00Speaker 1: to yo, great show, yo. This tour is fire, yo,
- 10:04Speaker 1: This tour is iconic, This tour is bringing back so
- 10:07Speaker 1: much moments. The source could not speak to that. But
- 10:10Speaker 1: what the source said to me is when the ladies
- 10:12Speaker 1: are at work, they're at work. This is not an
- 10:15Speaker 1: intentional anything. The ladies are just at work. So I
- 10:19Speaker 1: then asked about you know, because I saw some blogs
- 10:23Speaker 1: and shout out to Hollywood a lot. They always told
- 10:25Speaker 1: me down, but I did want to clarify this. I
- 10:27Speaker 1: saw not just them, but you know, some conversation. And
- 10:30Speaker 1: some people pick up my report from this morning on
- 10:32Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club as if you know Kelly and Brandy
- 10:37Speaker 1: or on the mens of falling out, and that is
- 10:39Speaker 1: not what I meant.
- 10:40Speaker 2: In any way.
- 10:42Speaker 1: What I was told by my source is that they
- 10:44Speaker 1: were very very close at one point that you know,
- 10:47Speaker 1: Brandy was you know, very supportive of Kelly as she
- 10:50Speaker 1: was building her career and trying to become her own person,
- 10:53Speaker 1: you know, outside of Destiny's shout and outside of a
- 10:55Speaker 1: lot of things. And they're just not that close anymore,
- 10:59Speaker 1: is what I said. But obviously, you know, they're cordial.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Things are cool, We've seen them in pictures, whatever. So
- 11:05Speaker 1: I wanted to clear that up. So in response to
- 11:08Speaker 1: my question, the source said to me, if there was
- 11:11Speaker 1: a real issue with Beyonce in Brandy, do you think
- 11:15Speaker 1: Kelly would have agreed to a tour? And I said,
- 11:18Speaker 1: I never said that there was an issue that isn't
- 11:21Speaker 1: cordial enough for everybody to coexist.
- 11:24Speaker 2: I didn't make this a huge cat fight.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I didn't want to be unfair to these ladies because
- 11:27Speaker 1: I don't even want to see them beefing. To be
- 11:29Speaker 1: honest with you, I got information and I reported a story.
- 11:33Speaker 1: But what I said was that the way that their
- 11:36Speaker 1: relationship Kelly and Brandy was at one point in time.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Is not what it is now. I'm not even saying.
- 11:42Speaker 1: That they're not friends at this point, but what I'm
- 11:44Speaker 1: saying is that it's the relationship is just not what
- 11:48Speaker 1: it was.
- 11:48Speaker 2: And that's okay as well.
- 11:50Speaker 1: But obviously they're cordial, obviously, you know, And the source
- 11:54Speaker 1: said to me, is that Brandy still considers Kelly a friend.
- 11:58Speaker 2: So hey, okay, I hear you.
- 12:01Speaker 1: But I asked specifically, can you say to me on
- 12:04Speaker 1: record that there was no strain in their relationship ever
- 12:06Speaker 1: at all, that they are as close as they once
- 12:08Speaker 1: were years ago. The source couldn't speak to that. The
- 12:11Speaker 1: source did say in response to that was people grow.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Brandy and Kelly were very very close before Brandy became
- 12:18Speaker 1: a mom. Kelly is also a mom now. And listen, y'all,
- 12:21Speaker 1: these ladies are again. They're icons. They got things going on,
- 12:26Speaker 1: they busy, they got you know what I'm saying. So
- 12:28Speaker 1: I don't think anybody expects for them to like Beyonce,
- 12:32Speaker 1: Michelle and Kelly in the glue of their relationship is
- 12:35Speaker 1: so different because of how intertwined all of their lives are,
- 12:39Speaker 1: especially with Beyonce and Kelly, with you know, Kelly like
- 12:43Speaker 1: their sisters. You know, you might as well they're all sisters, Kelly, Beyonce,
- 12:47Speaker 1: and Michelle. But we know the relationship with Kelly and
- 12:50Speaker 1: Beyonce and kind of you know, how they've grown and
- 12:53Speaker 1: what they've been through together, and you know, up down
- 12:55Speaker 1: all that like we know it. I'm not saying that
- 12:59Speaker 1: people can't grow when they're grown now and life hasn't happened.
- 13:03Speaker 1: I'm more so I'm just clarifying exactly what I said.
- 13:06Speaker 1: And if you're you know, for me, it's like I'm
- 13:09Speaker 1: always open to, you know, hearing all things presented from
- 13:13Speaker 1: people that I think are vetted and you know, sources
- 13:16Speaker 1: I can rely on to be truthful and honest from
- 13:19Speaker 1: each side. But I will do my job to push back,
- 13:22Speaker 1: especially when what I'm being told is rectable, because I
- 13:27Speaker 1: reported it the same way that if the source caught
- 13:30Speaker 1: me with something, I would do the same thing to
- 13:31Speaker 1: defend whatever they're saying to me.
- 13:33Speaker 2: And to just be fair, you know what I mean.
- 13:35Speaker 1: So I had to make it clear like this is
- 13:37Speaker 1: not me, you know, trying to be anything, but do
- 13:43Speaker 1: my due diligence and be thorough and ask the questions
- 13:47Speaker 1: because a lot of this stuff is obvious.
- 13:48Speaker 2: It's out there now.
- 13:49Speaker 1: There was the video of Beyonce and Brandy walking behind
- 13:54Speaker 1: the scenes of the Boys' Mon tour, and you see
- 13:57Speaker 1: Brandy walk past Beyonce. Now, the source said that they
- 14:01Speaker 1: were walking right behind Brandy in this video, and what
- 14:03Speaker 1: we did not hear was Beyonce say have a good show,
- 14:07Speaker 1: and Brady replies thank you in passing, and again when
- 14:11Speaker 1: this source said that to me, I said, that doesn't
- 14:13Speaker 1: surprise me because what I reported was that they don't
- 14:16Speaker 1: really bang with each other like that. But it's not
- 14:18Speaker 1: a catfight. It's cordial and you keep it moving. But
- 14:23Speaker 1: can you say to me that there has been any
- 14:25Speaker 1: time outside of you know, what we would have seen
- 14:29Speaker 1: on social media that they've had an interaction on this
- 14:32Speaker 1: tour since it has begun, and the source couldn't speak
- 14:35Speaker 1: to that. So just here to present what I was,
- 14:38Speaker 1: you know, just literally like this is like breaking news
- 14:42Speaker 1: to me and breaking it to you guys exclusively. As
- 14:45Speaker 1: I was walking here in here to film the Latest
- 14:48Speaker 1: with Lona Rosa, the podcast. You know, I got this call,
- 14:51Speaker 1: so I want to make sure I present all the information.

- 14:56Speaker 1: Club during the Latest with Lona Rosa. And these women
- 14:59Speaker 1: are still paid as hell, iconic as hell people we
- 15:03Speaker 1: all look up to. The news cycle goes on, but
- 15:06Speaker 1: one thing that I want to make sure of is that, hey,
- 15:11Speaker 1: if there's a side to be presented, let's do it.
- 15:13Speaker 2: That's how it is here on the Latest with Laurna Rosa.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Now, look, y'all could be anywhere with anybody talking about
