‘Yo DMs About to be Lit!’: Monica Shocks Fans With Her Sexy Moves on Aerial Sling

Monica fans were in for a rude awakening this week after she channeled her inner sensuality.

The “So Gone” singer took to Instagram on Monday, May 4, and posted several clips of the latest episode of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle.” The snippets showed Monica practicing some sexy dance moves at Sky Barre fitness studio in Atlanta with her cast mates.

In one of the clips, the 39-year-old musician sat on an aerial sling and did a move called the “butterfly.” It showed Monica sitting in a leaned back position with her legs scissored wide open in the air. Her good friend and fellow “Friends and Family Hustle” cast member Toya Johnson can be heard shouting in the background, “Yes, Monica!”

“Well Well, Looka here….TONIGHT at 9pm on @vh1 ‘s Friends & Family Hustle … The Conservative Boring One, May not be that Boring after all 😂😂,” the mother of three wrote on Instagram. “My Girls been putting up with my shenanigans a lot lately LOL… Tune in TONIGHT for a new Episode & new adventures !!!”

Monica’s moves not only shocked Johnson, they also took her fan base by surprise.

“😂😂🤔yes looka here it’s time to Go to your room Auntie Mo you on timeout lol 👉🏽👉🏽”

“Aye !!!! Tell em there are different sides to ya 😂 man don’t play with Southside! 😂♥️💯 #WhenWeWantTo”

“@monicadenise your DMs about to be lit girlfriend!!🤣😂🤣😂 i am shooketh!”

“Yes ma’am! I love it! You better let em’ know ish ain’t always sweet, you still got it!😝”

“U getting another husband after he see this video 😈😂@monicadenise I knew she was a freak!”

On the VH1 show, Monica revealed she is now trying different things as a newly single woman.

In March 2019, the songstress and her ex-husband Shannon Brown called it quits after being married for nearly eight years. The pair never discussed why they were divorcing, but fans believed it was due to infidelity.

However, Monica said that Brown never cheated on her. She addressed the rumors in the April 15 episode of “Friends and Family Hustle” and said that “a lot of what you read about us did not happen.”

The two remain friends as they co-parent their 6-year-old daughter Laiyah Shannon Brown.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
