Mary Jane Blige is a R&B, soul, and hip hop singer-songwriter, occasional rapper, record producer, actress, and hip hop icon who has sold more than 40 million records and over 10 million singles worldwide.

She is widely known as the "Queen of Hip Hop Soul", and has also received over 26 Grammy Award nominations for her work, winning eight, also awarded the World Music Legends Award for combining hip-hop and soul together like no one else during the early '90s. Early in her career, Blige's highly personal songs and gritty voice earned her comparisons to soul singers who preceded her, including Patti LaBelle and Aretha Franklin; however her artistic evolution and commercial success throughout the years have allowed her to exert her own influence over a new generation of artists including R&B/funk singer-songwriter Amerie and Grammy-nominated soul singer Keyshia Cole, Alicia Keys, Fantasia.

I thought Mary had “no more drama”?

    Let me ask this out loud: Why is it that whenever a singer or anyone in the entertainement industry becomes successful, all of a sudden, people come up out of the woodwork wanting a piece of the pie? Worse yet, they even try to sue them and say that it was their idea and that “so and so” stole it?

    Grammy-winning phenom Mary J. Blige is facing a $2 million federal suit claiming music on her most recent No. 1 album, “Growing Pains,” was stolen.Producer Theron (NEEF-U) Feemster wrote the music for the song “Work That,” but the tune is owned by Dream Family Entertainment Inc., according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Manhattan Federal Court.

    The court filing claims the New York-based firm never gave Blige, Feemster or Geffen Records, the distributor, rights to use the song.”Mr. Feemster created the music while he was under contract with Dream Family. Dream Family then owned the music, yet the music was used without permission in a Mary J. Blige release recording,” said Dream lawyer Brian Caplan.

    “It was released as an album, a single and in a commercial,” Caplan said. (source)

    I smell hateration! Someone ordered a haterade straight up with no chaser and I hope that Mary gets her legal matters in order.
