Monica faced much hardship in the early 2000’s. Her career slowed down in 1999 due to relationship issues with her ex-boyfriend Jarvis Weems. The next year Jarvis committed suicide while with Monica. It was not until 2009 that Monica started working on her music again. A reality series called Monica: Still Standing premiered on BET from 2009-2010 about her search for a hit single while balancing being a full-time mother and dealing with her troubled past.

Monica was born and raised in College Park, GA. She has two children with her ex-husband Rodney “Rock” Hill and one child with her husband Shannon Brown.
