‘This Was Scarily Accurate for Both’: Fans Want More of Monica After She Bodies Her Impersonations of Toya Johnson and Tiny Harris

Monica Denise Brown is showing her fans just how well she knows her friends Toya Johnson and Tiny Harris. While on Instagram Live on Jan. 20, one of her friends asked her if she could talk like Toya.

In her Toya voice she said, “Mo’, you gots to meet people where they at, girl. I have all kinds of friends, friends from different places, friends that I know I can trust. Like D, that’s my b-tch.”

Someone else asked Monica if she could do a voice like Tiny’s and she said yes. She said, “What you gon’ do? I just asked you did you want to come —” before cutting herself off and laughing.

Monica had fans cracking up laughing and commenting on her accurate portrayal of her friends.

One person wrote, “This was scarily accurate for both😭 and I’m jealous because she got the New Orleans accent down when I sound a hot mess doing it 😩.”

Someone else quipped, “If my friends can’t imitate me like this I don’t want them 😂😂😂😂😂.”

Fans suggested that Monica be put on the big screen with her skills. One said, “Yoooooo Monica low key can act for real for real!!!❤️❤️❤️💯💯😂😂😂,” and actor and social media comedian Kwaylon Rogers wrote, “Thought this was a TikTok voiceover 🗣 @tylerperry put Monica on have & have nots! Sis can act!!”

Although she’s known more for being on reality TV shows, Monica has done some film roles. She had a role as a waitress in the hit movie “ATL” starring T.I. Harris, and Lauren London. She’s also been in movies like “Pastor Brown” and “Love Song.”

But as of late fans of the “Angel of Mine” singer have been able to get a glimpse of her personal life on the small screen with Toya and her family, Tiny and T.I. and their family, as well as LeToya Luckett and her family, on the VH1 series “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Grand Hustle,” which wrapped its third season last year.

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.
