‘It’s Too Late’: Monica Fans Over Shannon Brown Still Shooting His Shot at Her

It looks like Monica’s ex-husband Shannon Brown apparently wants his old thing back.

Monica divorced Brown a few months ago and both appeared to be moving on with their lives. It seemed that way until the former Lakers player went on Chicago’s WGCI and expressed that he still had feelings for the “Angel of Mine” singer.

“She’s my forever Valentine,” Brown said, when asked if he wanted to get back with Monica.

“She’s just a huge part of how I think about love. She show love I try to show it back,” he added.

When asked if there was any hope of the former couple reconciling, Brown answered, “I think there’s a little pavement I can get into.”

Monica filed for divorce against the former NBA star last March in Atlanta.

Neither party revealed the cause of their split, but the R&B songtress did confirm on the Ru Paul Show in June that infidelity was not the reason. “Luckily for us, it wasn’t another person that was the issue,” she told Ru.

The former couple married in November 2010 during a private ceremony in Los Angeles. The couple share 5-year-old daughter Laiyah Shannon. Monica also has two sons Rodney Hill, 14, and Romelo Hill, 11, from her previous relationship with rapper Rocko Hill. Brown also has a son Christopher from a previous relationship.

Although the Grammy Award-winning singer and Brown ended their marriage on good terms, fans aren’t here for them getting back together.

” They always realize when it’s too late smh 🤦🏾‍♀️”

“Sis is a Scorpio so she definitely done with his funny lookin ass ✌🏾 she deserves better than him.”

“BYE SHANNON you had Moncia you messed it up an now you want her back. BYE.”

“Just look at him, he been a mess with out her. He stressed…you can tell…sorry to say but glad to see a man go through it….cause women always out here lookin crazy after a bad break up. He don’t deserve her”

” 🙄 Move on already… Y’all niggas always want somebody back after they leave ! Df 🙄 Monica has out grown him.. he sounds and looks childish…”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
