She is the daughter of Marilyn Best and M.C. Arnold. She has said that her paternal grandfather was of Irish and Black ancestry, and that her paternal grandmother was “entirely Indian.” A picture of Monica with her father can be seen here.
Monica is married to NBA player Shannon Brown. She has two children with her former fiancé, rapper Rodney “Rocko” Hill; and a daughter with Shannon.
Monica’s paternal grandparents are named M. C. Arnold and Maude R. Thomas (the daughter of Arthur Thomas and Clorena M. Johnson).
Has anyone found out about the “possibly other” part? Or is she just African American?
