So Mary J Blige Is Broke, She Can’t Even Afford Her Rent And Kim Kardashian Is Swimming In Money For Doing Nothing…

Mary J Blige At White House Correspondents  Dinner1

It seems the world’s Entertainment industry has risen to a point where real talents receive no or little remuneration for their hard work whiles the likes of Kim Kardashian (who are famous for nothing) continue to cash in with their emptiness.

My fear is that, soon we will have thousands of the like of Kim Kardashian and few of inspirational, talented and hardworking Mary J.Blige.

Apart from Mary J. Blige’s music, I respect and admire her decent achievements in the world of music. However, decency and hard work seem not to pay anymore because it does not get you the attention that will rack in the bucks.

Why would anyone waste time to develop talent and work tirelessly  to build a career which would soon bring in no money when the person can trail the Kim Kardashian  way (Get into a man’s bed, leak the video and soon you would be receiving half a million to appear on stage for 45 minutes in Nigeria).

If you’ve not heard,  RnB singer-Mary J. Blige is facing serious money problems. She was slapped with a notice on the door of her tony upper West Side apartment building after it was discovered that she “had a rent-paying problem” last November. Yeah, she cannot afford her rent…

Mary J. Blige, whose net worth was at one point a reported $45 million has found herself in a huge financial hole. Late last year, New Jersey filed a $901,769 lien against the singer. In November 2012, she was sued for failure to repay a $2.2 million personal loan that she and husband Kendu Isaacs defaulted on.

It does not stop there. The financial problems go further, Blige’s charity, the Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now Inc. is also in financial trouble.

The charity has been sued by TD Bank for failing to pay back a $250,000 loan, and scholarships awarded to girls are reported to have gone unpaid.

How come Mary J. Blige is in such a deep financial pit and yet, Kim Kardashian continues to cash in unimaginable amounts for literally doing NOTHING!

Mary J Blige Performs On Good Morning America

Watch Mary J Blige ‘Behind The Music’

 

Watch as VH1 captures the story of how faith, courage and a never-ending search for love and contentment helped one of the world’s most talented musicians survive a tumultuous past. After her soulful remake of Anita Baker’s “Caught Up In A Rapture” was heard by Uptown Records President Andre Harrell, Mary was signed instantly, changing her life forever. She then joined forces with soon-to-be music legend, Sean “Diddy” Combs and together they changed the music world with her honest and heartfelt debut album “What’s The 411?”

Although Mary’s professional life was flourishing, at home she was dealing with a volatile relationship and hit her lowest moment. Mary needed to make a change and she did. She was ready to better herself. Mary lifted herself out of her hole by praying and keeping the faith that things would change, and they soon did. Mary’s prayers were answered and she fell in love with Kendu Isaacs, who would later become her very supportive husband, friend, and manager. He helped and encouraged her on her road to greatness.
