Singer Monica has a big heart, but fans know “Goonica” is not the one to be played with.
She performed at the Riverfront Music Festival in Detroit over the weekend, where she jumped off stage to help a fan who had allegedly been assaulted during her performance on Saturday, July 22.
Several videos posted on social media show the R&B songstress — whose Instagram profile picture features her holding a cigarette and pointing a gun — getting off the stage after she appeared to see a man hit a woman.
“N—a, Is you out yo f——n’ mind?” Monica said over the mic before getting off the stage and making her way closer to where the altercation took place.
As chaos erupted amongst festivalgoers, she said, “You don’t hit no f——in’ lady like that….f—k these f——n’ sucka a— n—as.”
Security then helped Monica get back on stage where she apologized to the audience. She said, “Y’all, that sh-t triggered me. I seen him punch that lady in the face, I lost my f——in’ temper. I apologize ya’ll. I apologize from the bottom of my heart.”
She continued, “I was gonna knock the n-gga a- – out with this fuckin’ mic. We just don’t get down like that where I’m from, you know what I’m saying.”
The Atlanta native can be seen wearing a pink dress and matching long trench coat, stating, “I had every intention on coming out here acting like a lady…but don’t let me see him in the back.” She struggled to shake off her nerves as she prepared to sing her next song “U Should’ve Known Better.”
