Attempting to follow in the footsteps of Keyshia Cole, Monica recruited Lil' Kim and Missy Elliott for a new single. Much like the breakout Keyshia Cole hit, "Let it Go," Monica sampled a beat from The Notorious B.I.G. The new Monica single samples the controversial "Who Shot Ya."

Unlike Keyshia Cole, in 2007, Monica has had some issues with her song. The Lil' Kim verse was omitted from the song, because Voletta Wallace, the mother of Biggie, has blocked her. When the song was released, many wondered why Lil' Kim's verse was taken off the song.

Monica confronted all of the questions through her Twitter. She said she was beyond disappointed at what happened. Monica said both she and Missy Elliott are hurt. Due to the fact that Lil' Kim is both their friend, and a legend, they feel as if Lil' Kim should be a part of the single. Unlike them, Lil' Kim had an actual relationship with The Notorious B.I.G.

Monica also revealed she is fighting as hard as she can to get Lil' Kim back on the record. She is doing this for two reasons, the first is because Lil' Kim's verse is the best on the song, and the second is because she has much love for Lil' Kim. However, with Voletta Wallace pulling the strings, they will be sued if they release the Lil' Kim version of the song.
