Monica Shares A Message About Trust And Being A Good Person

One thing about Ms. Monica, she keeps it real. Even when it comes to speak on heavier topics, such as betrayal. Early Sunday, Monica took to Instagram to share her inner thoughts on deceit, trust and being a good person.

“Betrayal happens after trust,” Monica wrote on her Instagram Story. “It hurts to know we’re not betrayed by enemies..it’s actually by those we trusted.”

In a few short paragraph lines, Monica explains that betrayal can only come from those we love and trust. She continues on to explain her personality type and how it relates to the topic of trust.

“Although I’m very kind to everyone, it’s so hard for me to trust people,” Monica wrote. “Those I trust, I would give my life for theirs…when you betray me, you lose me & you may not see me as much, but I see me clearly!!”

And her arguably wise words didn’t just end there. Monica went on to point out her goodness and encourage people to stick to theirs.

“Being a good person has its hardships but the benefits are beyond this realm,” Monica wrote. “TO THE GOOD PEOPLE: KEEP BEING GOOD! God’s GOT YOU.’

C-Murder Pens Sweet Note To Monica

And if there’s one person who believes in Monica’s goodness, it’s C-Murder. In late November 2021, he penned some touching words for his forever lady. As you may already know, the currently incarcerated artist and Monica have had an on-again, off-again relationship over the years. His digital love letter came after she performed the track “For You I Will” and added his name to the lyrics.

“My baby kilt it at the show. Her sanging this outfit a #TRUqueen we knew from day 1 this was real love,” C-Murder wrote in an Instagram caption. “No opinion changes a fact and we got the history to prove that . If you know me you know how Im coming bout her.”
