Monica is in the middle of a family/business feud. The Monica recently collaborated with Rick Ross, Missy Elliott and Lil’ Kim for the single, “Anything.” The song samples David Porter’s “I’m Afraid the Masquerade Is Over” used for the Notorious B.I.G’s classic “Who Shot Ya?” and Lil's Kim uses a few lines from Biggie's hit in her verse.
According to Monica’s twitter account Biggie’s mom Voletta Wallace has stopped the single from being released because Lil’ Kim appears on the song. As custodian of Biggie’s estate Ms. Wallace approves any samples of her late son’s music.
“I am just finding out what has happened to my single and myself & Missy are beyond hurt that @LilKim was removed. She’s our friend, a legend,” Monica wrote. “Lil Kim will get the respect she deserves at all cost. The clearance was revoked and I’m fighting to get it reinstated by the Biggie Estate.”
Ms. Wallace and Lil Kim have been ionvolved in a very public feud over the past few years, most recently over Kim’s portrayal in the biopic Notorious. Based on Monica’s tweets, the song would not be cleared unless Lil Kim’s vocals were removed.
Despite her displeasure, Monica maintained her respect for Ms. Wallace and did not take sides, insisting that she “respects all parties involved” and hopes to have the song released with Lil Kim featured.
Lil Kim has taken the high road as well writing on Twitter, “I want ya’ll to know that Missy Elliot and Monica Brown have been going hard a s mothaf*cka for this situation. I love them so much! We are planning something even BIGGER for you guys.”
What do you think? Do you think Ms. Wallace is going a bit too far? Or is she right?
Ugh. Monica Brown. Boooo.
