Mary J Blige Says She Owes $25 Million In Advances And Doesn't Own Her Music Catalog

[AceMan]

37 million in debt? Homeless?!

What is this broad doing with her money?!?!?


Better sell herself to a Birdman like Toni Braxton had to

 

[zayk35]

Wow mjb.... she just said fuk it a looong time ago huh

 

[King Frost]

You think record labels give contracts out of the goodness of their heart? y'all gon today

Her catalog has a price, either she pay it or get her a s s on a tour bus. $25mil plus whatever extra they want.

 

[Yo Mama]

Prenups should be mandatory. Whether you have 1$ or a billion dollars.

A good reminder to always read and reread and then get another persons opinion before you sign stuff unless you know what you are doing or fully understand and accept the consequneces of some of these BS slave contracts.

 

[Optimus Prime]

y’all kidding yourselves if you thought 18/19 year old MJB had the pull to get ownership of the ‘’What’s the 411’’ or “My Life’’ masters when she recorded them especially with Puffy as exec producer
Whitney didn’t even own her masters
The Beatles don't own their masters
It’s not that easy. Y’all bring up Prince but he/we couldn’t call him Prince for 10 years because of WB

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Let your husband fukk up your career brehettes
Be associated with big time artists who constantly preach about owning your masters etc but don't heed their words brehettes

Admit your main income source is touring, but there isn't any demand for you to tour brehettes

That alimony is the devil huh . We about to see Mary singing in commercials for everything from soap to rope

She may not want to but she better get out there and tour constantly. fukk putting out more albums and incurring more debt. Put a tour together and get some old school r&b acts on board and do 40 cities.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

This is just inexcusable.

I really have no empathy...

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Salute to J Cole and Jay Z, it’s a damn shame Mary is in this financial situation. She literally has two of the greatest R&B albums of all time ( 411 & my life).

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Broke bytch better get Hammer on the phone so they can remix this, sell it to Popeyes and get paid

god damn. this get's worse every time. literally singing about fried chicken

 

[Standing on business]

Rihanna owns her masters

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Rihanna owns her masters

La Familia Roc Nation

 

[---]

This shyt makes no sense, how did she not try at any point in her career to get her masters. Guess Steve stout was right!

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

Getting finessed like she working for death row

Thats jay z imaginary player

 

[Soundwave]

her best bet would be to die. artists like her are worth more dead than they are alive

I get your point but damn
