The reunion for Brandy and Monica in the Grande video paid homage to the original "The Boy Is Mine," which was released after a rumored feud between the pair. The songstresses later won best R&B performance by a duo or group at the 1999 Grammys.

During an appearance Thursday night on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," Grande told the late-night host she had been a fan of Badgley her "entire life" and was "super honored to have him" appear in the music video.
