Ariana Grande Praises Brandy And Monica For Special Cameos In Her New Video
HuffPost
The R&B singers made a nostalgia-inducing appearance in Grande's reimagined version of "The Boy Is Mine."
Ariana Grande’s new video for her song “The Boy Is Mine” features surprise cameos from none other than Brandy and Monica, who memorably released a hit song of the same name in 1998.
Shortly after the music video was released Friday, Grande expressed her love for the R&B singers and her gratitude for their participation, writing in an Instagram story: “you have no idea what this means ... [to] me. i am still convinced that i am dreaming it all.”
She added in a follow-up post, “i am still crying.”
The video begins by showing rats jumping onto a panicking sanitation worker outside before the scene switches to Grande at home bottling a potion, as a TV news report is heard in the background.
Brandy and Monica then appear as news anchors who inform viewers that the mayor (played by Penn Badgley) is set to hold a press conference, following an election campaign that promised to bring “immediate change to the city.”
