It’s “Trust” that Cole and Monica recorded together for the former singer’s 2008 album, “A Different Me.” The song was originally a solo record but was re-recorded with Monica and released as a single in 2009, with a music video featuring both performers.

The pair didn’t just let the song sit on an album or be seen in music video form. They performed it together in Los Angeles while Cole was on the road to support her third studio album with A Different Me Tour. They also took the stage at the 2009 BET Awards and belted the tune in front of a live TV audience.

But it was the latter performance that had some fans questioning whether or not Cole should make an entire album with her fellow crooner.

“It’ll be a monica album, y’all remember that bet awards performance when monica took over that trust performance”

“So she can show’d up again?! Fine,i’ll listen”

“So Monica can out sang her again😅 she shouldn’t want that embarrassment again😂”

Regardless, there were many more fans who want a new set of songs from Cole and Monica to be released.

One fan tweeted the two should “do a joint album with at least 17 good ass tracks.” But for Cole, she’s got a limit on how many tracks she wants the album to include.

“Smh! 10 at the most. I was gonna say 7 or 8” she replied.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
