Singer Monica is being heralded as a shero after breaking up a fight during her live performance at the Detroit Riverfront festival over the weekend.

The “Everything To Me” singer was in the middle of a song when a commotion broke out in the crowd. Various videos from the concert show a man arguing with a woman which led to a fight. The woman can be seen hitting the man and he retaliates by hitting the woman back.

Another video shows Monica jumping off the stage and running towards the altercation when her security steps in.

Over the years Monica has received the moniker “Goonica” from her fans due to her down-to-earth demeanor and relationships with hard-core rappers. Rumors of the Atlanta native punching singer Brandy before a Grammy performance in the 90s only helped to fuel the rumors of her street demeanor.

After the fight, Monica went back on stage and apologized to the crowd for stopping her show. “My bad yall, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I had every intention on coming out here tonight and acting lady-like,” she said. “We just don’t get down like that where I’m from you know what I’m saying. but when I saw that man hit that woman I lost it. I don’t play like that,” said the singer.

Many were quick to praise Monica for helping the woman but others said the woman brought it on herself for hitting the man first.
