Monica has cleared up rumors of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), saying that her health was too precarious for such a procedure.
In a clip from a livestream on Monday (February 19) that began with a fan commenting that they needed her “BBL doctor,” the “So Gone” singer addressed the rumor.
She said: “Oh y’all got jokes today too!,” before adding: “My health is far too bad to be playing like that.”
She then pulled out a pair of Spanx shorts, noting that the clothing item was the only support she had. Check out the full clip below.

The voice behind “The Boy Is Mine” noted that she’s skeptical of any sort of cosmetic work.
“I won’t even wear lash extensions. I still wear strips I can rip off and roll on” she said.
The singer also poked fun at her personal life, noting her willingness to share messy relationship news.
She added: “If I do something, I’ll be the first to tell you. I mean, look at my love life! It was in shambles and I told y’all.”
This is a reference to an incident at the end of last year, when Monica shared that she and C-Murder broke up.
In an Instagram post at the time, Monica wrote: “Well, here it is in short. I got my heartbroken (again) and that’s ok! I learned yet another valuable lesson.
“I went through it, got over it, now I can laugh about it! Life continues! I feel great that he has representation to one day be free! Let’s move forward.”
Regarding the health issues she references in the current video, Monica passed out at a concert in Houston at the end of 2023. According to TMZ, there was an incident at the show which resulted in ambulances being called to the venue.

Monica has also been very open about her mitral valve prolapse, a heart condition she was diagnosed with at 18 which impedes the flap between the upper and lower chambers of her heart from closing properly.
She’s also suffered from, and been hospitalized for, high blood pressure in the past, a condition she’s worked hard to control. Additionally, she’s had multiple surgeries for endometriosis.
Despite all the health issues, Monica seems in great spirits in her recent video.
