Mary J. Blige may be a vocal anti-drama advocate in her songs, but it seems the queen of hip hop soul isn’t ready to take her own words of wisdom to heart.
TMZ reports that Mary is getting ready to duke it out in court (or at least her lawyer’s office) with concert promoter Vision Entertainment Worldwide for their horrible crime of giving her a bunch of money in exchange for nothing.
Last December, Vision sued Mary for being a no-show at their Dallas concert, for which they had already paid her a whopping $145,000 advance. Mary’s reason for ditching the good people of the Lone Star state? She allegedly got offered a better gig with the Rolling Stones at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and jumped at the opportunity.
Unfortunately for Vision, Mary decided that she was entitled to keep her advance, despite putting in zero work, so the company decided to try to get their chunk of change back, claiming Mary breached her contract by not showing up.
Now Mary is countersuing Vision, claiming that they breached the contract first by treating her like some commoner and failing to provide first-class airfare for her entourage. In fact, she’s claiming that, for all the hardship flying coach cost her, she should be paid the rest of her appearance fee — a generous $105,000.
