(8/11/03, 3 p.m. ET) -- R&B singer Monica titled her latest CD After The Storm because of the many emotional events the singer has had to overcome, in particular witnessing the suicide death of her boyfriend, Jarvis Weems, in July of 2000.


According to the World Entertainment News Networks, Weems' mother doesn't believe that Monica is being honest about what she saw the day Jarvis died. According to Monica, Weems called and told her to meet him at the gravesite of his brother and when the singer arrived, he refused to unlock the doors of his car and shot himself in the head in front of her.


Tyra Weems has a different theory, "I don't believe my son killed himself. I feel Monica knows a lot more than she's admitting. The bullet went in on the right side of his head, but he was left-handed. Why would he use the wrong hand to shoot himself? The cops just took her word for what happened. Now I wish my son had never met her."


Calls to Monica's representatives at J Records were not returned at press time.


In related news, Monica's "So Gone" was recently knocked off the top of the charts. The song is presently at Number Six on the urban Radio & Records National Airplay chart. The singer will release two new singles later this month, "Knock, Knock," and "Get It Off."


Monica's latest release, After The Storm, is Number 36 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The set has sold more than 469,000 copies since its release according to Nielsen Soundscan.
