Monica is joining the world of media.
The R&B legend is launching her MoTalk Radio show which is set to premiere live on Saturday, June 24 at 3pm. PT on Apple Music, reports Vibe.
MoTalk Radio will feature the best of the ’90s and 2000s R&B music with mixes curated by DJ Baby Yu, Monica’s candid commentary, and insightful interviews.
Mo Talk is an outlet for artists, entertainers, musicians, politicians, athletes, and others to share their story, their way,” Monica’s statement read. “Being interviewed over the years has given me insight that allows me to tell the story respectfully, our truths are often diluted and distorted for the gain of others. ‘MoTalk’ brings that to an end, and gives creatives back their stories. Discussing hard topics, creating change, and highlighting the greats is key for me.”
NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal will be the first guest on the show. The “First Night” detailed the alleged tensions between her and fellow R&B icon Brandy.
“I’ve realized over the years that some people actually believed the record was true—shout out to Brandy, one of the greatest voices of our time. Mine and Brandy’s taste are complete polar opposites, so there was never really a boy for this song to be over,” Monica explained. “People believed there was a lot of history prior but there was not. A lot of the narrative that you saw was formulated based on the song and then it spewed into our real lives, but it never existed prior to.”
The first two episodes of Mo Talk Hear are available on demand over on Apple Music Radio.
