In 2001 Mary J. Blige boldly proclaimed in her timeless superhit that she would accept “No More Drama” in her life, and she meant it. Currently, granted she did get married and divorced from her now former-husband Kendu Isaacs after that song, which brought some highly publicized drama to her life.
But within that, Mary has continued to hold her head high in the middle of every obstacle. The singer is ready to move forward in life, and this time, she’s asking for more control with whom and what comes into her life.
For 12 years, Blige was married to Isaacs before a contentious divorce battle would begin and last for years. As per to media the wedding was then plagued by infidelity with none other than her artist, Starshell.
Media also obtained court documents that showed Kendu allegedly spending upwards of over $400k on Starshell. On top of everything, Isaacs was asking for an abundance of money in spousal support and other expenditures, of which he was seeking $5k per month to give to his parents as he had already been doing that practice while being married to Mary.
It is to be noted that Isaacs was not just her spouse but her manager as well.
“I am not responsible for supporting [Martin’s] parents and his children from another connection which he lists as ongoing monthly expenses,” said Mary in legal papers, as reported by Page Six.
But, Isaacs, who also made claims of being “unemployable”, was awarded $30k a month in spousal support. Speaking with Variety, Mary shared how she really feel like about the drama that ensued thanks to her now former-husband.
