Coco Jones is stepping into one of the year’s biggest R&B stages, joining Brandy and Monica’s highly anticipated The Boy Is Mine Tour.
Kicking off October 16 in Cincinnati, the run was already stacked with Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and newcomer Jamal Roberts, but Jones’ addition takes the production to another level—cementing it as both a celebration of R&B’s past and a glimpse of its future.
Jones is having a breakout year, praised for her powerful voice, versatility, and ability to glide between heartfelt ballads and self-assured anthems. Her catalog carries the emotional weight and authenticity that longtime fans of Brandy and Monica recognize, while also resonating with a new generation just discovering the genre. In that way, she’s more than a supporting act—she’s a bridge, connecting eras of R&B on one stage.
For Brandy and Monica, the tour is a reunion rooted in legacy. Their 1998 hit, “The Boy Is Mine,” didn’t just dominate the charts; it became a cultural touchstone that defined late-’90s R&B and sparked conversations about collaboration, rivalry, and womanhood. Their decision to reunite in 2025 lends resonance to fans who lived through that moment, while also creating space for new voices like Jones to carry it forward.
The lineup itself speaks volumes about R&B’s evolution. Kelly Rowland represents longevity and influence, drawing from her Destiny’s Child legacy and solo catalog.
Muni Long embodies the intimacy of modern R&B storytelling, while Roberts signals the genre’s next chapter. Jones fits seamlessly into this mix, her rising star status underscoring how fresh talent can honor tradition while rewriting the narrative.
Her inclusion isn’t just about adding another name to the bill. Jones represents the reinvention that keeps R&B alive—her music rooted in soul, yet boldly contemporary. She stands as proof that the genre thrives when generations connect rather than compete.
As the tour approaches, anticipation is growing for what promises to be more than a concert. With Jones alongside Brandy, Monica, and an all-star lineup, The Boy Is Mine Tour will be a generational dialogue—a reminder that R&B’s heart beats strongest when its past, present, and future share the same stage.
