Monica, Brown dating
Monica and Brown start dating after she meets him on the set of her video, Love All Over Me. There are reports immediately after the couple started dating that labeled Monica as a home wrecker because Brown was suppose to marry his child’s mother.
I write this to set the record straight. Media deception makes unfair and false reports of the truth, and it does not bring out the best in ANYONE. Monica is my girlfriend, confidant and a strong successful women that has been though a lot herself but she is in no way, a home wrecker. As a parent, I understand that parenting requires a partnership with my sons mother however the relationship between us fizzled a long time ago. Thus, never leading up to seven years, engagement or even talks of marriage. As parents, we have to continue to raise our son, and as individuals we both deserve happiness. Thank you for the support and God Bless! -SB
