‘I Miss You’: Monica Reminisces on Her Relationship with No Limit’s C-Murder

Singer Monica has vowed to support the release of her ex Corey “C-Murder” Miller, from prison. Monica and the No Limit rapper were sweethearts in the late ’90s, but life sent the couple down two different paths. Monica became a Grammy-winning singer, had children, and married NBA player Shannon Brown, whom she divorced in 2019.

Meanwhile, C-Murder’s murder conviction has kept him behind bars since 2009. The New Orleans native is serving a life sentence for murder in the 2002 slaying of 16-year-old Steven Thomas. C-Murder has maintained his innocence and will receive additional support from civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, who was hired in August for Miller’s legal team.

In her Instagram Story posted Monday, Jan. 3, Monica tagged C-Murder in an “I miss you” post after sharing a screenshot of Yung Bleu’s “No, I’m Not OK” EP.

“Always had my back,” wrote Monica over an old photo, which appears to be taken at a family and friends dinner. “Salute to the General & greatest Gentleman I’ve ever known … I miss you. @cmurder.”

Later, the 41-year-old responded to fans in a 15-min questionnaire dubbed “#MoTalk.” Many left remarks about how “young” Monica looked without makeup, asking, “How old were you in the pic you shared?”

“Hey Frennnn, you talking about of me and C? If so, 18, young and focused! I had been on the road for almost seven years was tired and at that point just enjoyed being normal!” Monica answered. “You know family vibes have always been the only ones I care about! This crew still love eating! Stay setting up meals.”

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

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.
