Monica Explains Why She’s Against Letting Her Kids Go to Sleepovers: ‘That Would Be a No for Me’

Monica isn’t a fan of sleepovers.

Instagram entertainment account TheNeighborHoodTalk reposted a video of a single father expressing frustration with not being able to throw his daughter a slumber party because some of the other mothers weren’t comfortable having a male host.

“When I found out why I couldn’t throw my daughter a slumber party I got very sad and depressed,” TikTok user markdjangocrazy‘s caption read. However, during his explanation he revealed that he was once taken advantage of by an older woman that he trusted when he was younger and still couldn’t understand why some parents would be apprehensive in letting their daughters stay over at his house.

Of course, a bunch of discourse went down in the comments, and Monica’s opinion was one that stood out. “We don’t do sleepovers,” the R&B singer wrote before suggesting that maybe he should’ve considered asking some of the moms to be chaperones. “My mother didn’t, I don’t either and that applied to my sons & daughter! In his case inviting some moms to be there overnight to chaperone may work but that would be a no for me as well.”

Many of the replies agreed with her, with the comments suggesting he shouldn’t take it personally, it’s just the times we’re living in.

In other Monica news, she and Brandy just kicked off their “The Boy Is Mine” Tour and hit a bit of a snag this past Saturday when Brandy abruptly left the stage at Chicago’s United Center after feeling out of sorts. “To my dear fans in Chicago,” she wrote. “Thank you all for the overwhelming love, support, and—most importantly—your prayers. I sincerely apologize for the abrupt end to last night’s performance in Chicago. After weeks of nonstop rehearsals, last night I experienced dehydration and feelings of wanting to faint. Everyone involved agreed that prioritizing my well-being was of the utmost importance.”
