Phew! Ariana Grande Won't Be Recording 'The Boy is Mine' Cover Either
The Problem singer has stated that Brandy and Monica's duet should "remain untouched"...
Ariana Grande has followed in Jessie J's footsteps by denying that she will be recording a new version of Brandy and Monica's iconic duet, The Boy Is Mine.
Last month, producer Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins let slip that the Bang Bang collaborators were going to rework the R&B classic to celebrate his 20 years in the music industry.
However, when quizzed about the track, Jessie later stated: "No, it’s not true, neither of us have agreed.
"Sadly people are believing it. I spoke to Brandy and I was like, ‘no it’s not happening’. Monica and Brandy are the best.”
Ahead of her performance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Grande has now also rubbished the rumours, telling Capital FM: "No that's such (a rumour). It's a classic, it should remain untouched."

"I'm a humongous fan of that song and Brandy is one of my favourite vocalists ever."
Ariana went on to add that she "would love" to work with Jessie and fellow Bang Bang star Nicki Minaj on another song in the future… just as long as it's not a Brandy cover, eh Ari?
