True story from me. I just had to listen to my life this morning. I have been singing it in my head the entire week and so decided to do a trip down memory lane: Reminiscing, You are certainly beautiful Mary J. Blige and don't allow anyone to steal your joy ever. Look to HIM, " The Man Above" - ALMIGHTY GOD. God bless you and keep you. 😘🤩😍🎁♥️
Mary’s story is the story of so many black girls in ghettos all over the world who grew up in toxic environments and didn’t know any better. So many of us grow up angry at the world because it’s a defence mechanism from all of the hurt and trauma experienced as young children. I’m glad she has overcome and I remain one of her biggest fans to this day.
exactly 💯 her story was so many women's upbringing in tough areas around drugs abuse etc that's why her music is our therapy our stories and so many others are in her songs.
@@rrg Thank you for the upload . Its clear that Mary is a warrior. She will go down fighting. Her x husband was a con Artist, he used her for her money and she was blinded by his lies and deception.
"When you hate yourself, you draw people to you that hate you too." Wow, that's deep. Through Mary's music, essence, & resilience, she receives my utmost adoration/respect. 👑❤
Kendu said, "It felt like a brother-sister relationship" when they met-I bet it did-with Mary being the big brother provider & Kendu being the needy little sister. So sad Mary was surrounded by toxic leaches. 😣
Mary faced so many challenges. Her perseverance is astonishing. Most ppl would not make it past those circumstances she faced. Glad she conquered her demons and had a turning point. Kendu was a chump for being a cash cow. Still bumping “ALL NIGHT LONG” & “Be Happy” till this day.
1neta Remember Mary was skeptical of Kendu from the jump 🤔🤔🤔 and she let her guard down he was showing her he wanted her and Mary trusted him then HE DROPPED THE BOMB ON HER 😱😱😱
maybe mary is just like 95% of women out there who love when niggas mistreat them and cheat on them, instead of looking to be with a man who would love and respect her.
If Method Man wasn't already married I think him and Mary would make a dope couple. But Method Man loves his wife and he ain't leaving her for nobody! That's how a REAL husband should be!
True, but God made men the head of the household. He cannot be the leader of he isn't pulling his weight. Thankfully some women are able to support their families.
He was her Manager Dumb ass! That was his lively Hood. Not defending kendu. But Mary's career started to really thrive when she married him. She went on to record her biggest selling album the breakthrough which was written with him in mind. Won multiple Grammys it was him who Got her many of those Paying Gigs as her manager. So when she fired him he had to Get that money back and he did. LOVE Mary but i think she suffers from mental illness as well. She's not perfect, she even dated married men before Kendu like Singer case. She knew he was married when they were together and still tried to be with him KARMA IS A BITCH!!!
Its a blessing she's still standing. What she has gone through would've broke some people. She's a fighter and a strong woman. Believe me she will find her happiness.
You can literally feel her pain in her songs. Every time I listen to her songs I break down crying because it brings back painful memories of my life but her music does help me get through life.
Is it sad I just assumed every little girl has this story because it happened to me and I kept meeting girls with some version of the same story. Almost always someone the family trusted was the r*pist. I remember meeting a young woman in college who hadn't been sexually molested before the age of 18 and being so happy she existed.
That white woman hosting the show was being evil, such a nasty, horrible bitch. This was in 1995 when Mary and Jodeci both toured the UK. She planned to humiliate Mary on live TV, you could see it broke Mary's heart. I love me some Jodeci but K-ci was such an ignorant dimwitted munt, a pathetic excuse for a black man. smfh!!
I absolutely love MJB, from a child, I thought I was her in high school, Momma allowed me to dye my hair blonde, I dressed like her everything, she was my teenage relationship coach, her music was a healer, Beautiful woman inside and out
OMG!!! I love this women!!! she sing the songs that every female goes through because she went through them. You can here it from the heart and soul. One bad black woman.
@@lionelluva thanks l can honestly sayI'm not bitter. I never been in love and I'm ok with it. Not ONE decent dude has ever hit on me. And if no one decent is meant for me than I'm ok being alone. All my life I have had self esteem issues.... and for once in my lifetime l have come around to learn l deserve better. It's not the end of the world for not having "man"...
Rocket Groot I was saying my heart got bitter. I’ve never been in love either but I’ve been in strong like plenty of times. Have faith that true love will find you in its time.
love hope that is still a lot of money. I read up why he wanted 130k, he wanted her to pay for child support for another woman’s child and pay for his parents luxury nursing home, plus some for 1000 for shoes every month. It is absolutely ridiculous. This guy is psycho.
Mary should have listened to her first mind when Kendu was chasing her. Her intuition was trying to tell her. She needed to be in rehab and therapy and not a relationship. He took advantage of her vulnerable state...he controlled and manipulated her all those years. Glad she got out and living her best life...love yourself and God all you really need .
I had to pause the video because I came looking for this comment(or another one like it). Baby when I tell you I had to cover my mouth so I wouldn't holler at work. I'm done...
Mary is my Capricorn sista. We have been through some of the same heartbreaks, betrayal, and violations. I am proud to see this Queen come out on top despite all the triumphs. She has continued to rise to the top effortlessly. 👸🏾🙏🏽
I always knew she was a strong and remarkable woman. Now, I have a deeper appreciation and understanding of who Mary Jane Blige truly is. I love Mary and her music even more. 👑❤️ Thank you so much for sharing her incredible story.
Starr Williams right. I’m trying to get the timeline straight. 1991 until when? I just knew that her 1999 album duet with him which was recorded separately was confirmation that she’d been over Kci.
They weren't together that long they broke up in '97 during the "Share My World" era... And he said that there was no talks of marriage which was a lie when clearly he gave her a ring
In the words of Biggie, "[she] turned all of that negative into a positive." MJB is a success and remains at the top of her game. Boom. Sometimes relationships don't work out. Life goes on.
Her music speaks volumes.... her songs are universal ❤️❤️❤️. I wish she would do a biopic movie of her life and write it herself. Her story needs to be told on the big screen!

It's crazy how now you can see the drug abuse going on. Back then they hid it so well. Things were nothing like it is now where you find out rumors and things so easily. She would wear sunglasses and hats , back then we thought it was so cool. Well I did. I was a big fan of Mary's. I bought all her albums up until she got with Kendu. The music just wasn't that good after him imo. But I wore the hats, sunglasses, just like her thinking it was cool. Only to find out a few years later it was to hide her substance and alcohol abuse.
Plus back in those days we weren't so exposed to them as in terms of social media. Back then we would only see them in concerts, tv interviews, music videos or magazines so it was not easy to see their drug use.
If KC wasn't so "in love" with Mary, why did he stalk her throughout her entire marriage to Kendu... Why did he make a video with a woman with blonde hair, dressed like Mary with the song entitled "I'm sorry" why did he talk about Mary's husband on stage at every concert saying that Kendu don't love her the way he does... Ha men are jokes
Dam sounds like he missed her, and he treated her like crap just to keep his bad boy image, but I bet she surprised him by who she decided to be in her circumstance.
I love the gift that she shared with the world...her precious voice. May God bless you MJB. I hope all of the bad wounds from life will be healed by God.
To me it sounds like Mary likes to drag out dead relationships. There definitely are illusions surrounding her relationships. Some people with narcissistic traits love to play the victim. She has money, she could have went to therapy and worked on self love and self healing. We all have to learn our way some how. But damn this has been the story of her whole life, abusive, toxic relationships.
I will always have respect for MJB her album My Life helped me get through a deep depression and I was only a teenager🥲 I play that album to this day when I am down. ❤
Me too.... my life album is musical therapy for me when I'm down and out don't know what to do...that album like magic never fails to get me back right. Thank you so much mary ❤ you blessed us with that one.
Mary J is like any other woman who has struggled in her love life. The only difference is she makes amazing music when she goes through heartbreak that touches us and helps us through our bad breakups. My wish for her is that she has learned to love herself. As Whitney Houston said “Learning to love yourself it is the greatest love of all”. I don’t believe in looking for a man or prince to suddenly bring love into my life. Women have to learn to do that for themselves. We need to be happy being single and ask God for the gift of discernment so when a man tries to enter our lives, we can make a wise decision as to whether he is worthy or not. Love Mary J 💜
The fact that Kacey can literally say him and Mary were never that serious but in the same breath say he gave her a ring (in which he never planned on marrying her as if she’s supposed to know that) , and spent 12 years together. These men were evil.
AS I PSYCHOLOGIST I SEE A BROKEN WOMAN WHO HAS NOT FULLY HEALED FROM PAST TRAUMA..... UNTIL SHE DOES SHE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TRULY LOVE AND ACCEPT HERSELF.... ONCE THIS HAS TRANSPIRED THAN SHE WILL ATTRACT A GOOD MAN..... 👍🏽🙏🏽 #prayingforher
Starr Williams Psychologists do not give unsolicited advice and/or this type of response publicly. We go through the proper assessments in order to draw conclusions about “our” patients. That would be the ethical course of action.
Why? Why? Why??? She is one of my favorite artists. I so want her to find that unconditional love, and to really learn to love herself unconditionally. Too many of us can relate.
If I were Bill Gates' rich and famous, I'll be happily single because I can't split my money with no broke guy when our marriage go south. I would leave my money to family I trusted and charity.
I truly hope she learns to love herself cause know one can love you more than yourself,if a man see your vulnerable he’s gonna take advantage.never buy them they will hang around til you broke then they will go to the next vulnerable ones of women do men the same way but you have to be smart enough not to let it happen to you,if your always giving and the partners not get out before your broke.
Her music was the anthem of my high school days ❤❤ I hope someday someone comes along & loves her the way she deserves. No fairytales, just love she can rely on.
I’ve heard about her story before and certain aspects saddens me but she’s so strong to the core and I love her. I’m honestly happy you’ve made a video on her life. We trust your videos because you stick to the facts.
apparently mary & kci had argued before their performance of “i don’t wanna do anything else” and that’s why they were looking at each other oddly during at certain moments.
To bad there aren't many good black men most of us are forced to date outside our race for me its a hard pass unfortunately all I want is a strong honest stand black man 😢
1. I thought Mary and kci met when they worked with father mc 2. Kendu was married with kids. How did mary think he was with latifah?i mean........latifah????? Naw.......
I watched Mary J. Blige's "My Life" documentary which inspired me to want to buy her music. So far, I bought three, which included My Life because of the people in the documentary who talked about how she saved their life. It's so sad that someone that through all the rough edges, she seems truly down to earth. I have become intrigued by her life and struggles and hope that she finds someone who will love her for her and through the layers, she's built to protect herself. I'm rooting for you, Mary.
@Markus Mcneil I get the impression that you may be confused as to what I'm saying. As women, we go through heartbreaks, I just recently experienced one, and for me, as a woman, I want to hear about another woman's pain that I can relate to. When I listen to other women artists, such as Mary, it's because for the most part it may be something that they sing about that I can relate to.
I'm very proud of her! She's one of my musical influences. Everytime I hear her songs I be wanting to sing with her. She will foreva be the queen of Hip Hop Soul!!!
THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE..WE LOVE MARY💖💖💖
RETRO BABE Coupon Deals and Savings yes indeed 🌹
Thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️
💕💕💕 yes we do!!!
Yes indeed
I see her with nas last summer and 2 years before that.
Imagine being in a 12 year relationship with someone who says "they were not as serious as people thought" Jesus wow. Hoping for the best for her ❤
Try
Right?!? What a trash, clown ass man 🤣🤣🤣 that’s such a ridiculous thing to say
He's a liar
Right 12 years is fucking serious!!

This hit me in my soul... So profound!!
Mary is a man...lol People are dummies...she is worn out.....a sellout allegedly...don't get mad...

No one ever mentions how physically beautiful this woman is. I was always so proud of her journey 😊
That's what a real queen look like God bless you
She should have played Etta James.

I hope so too. She was broken for a long time, but I can sense the genuineness in her. Real love will find her one day ❤.
Mary J. Blige is a true living legend.
No wonder her songs were so good, she had several first hand accounts.
Mary always wore her emotions on her sleeves. Everything that she was going through she put it all in the music

The best music comes from pain
"When you hate yourself, you draw people to you that hate you too." Wow, that's deep. Through Mary's music, essence, & resilience, she receives my utmost adoration/respect. 👑❤
It is so true because when you don't love yourself you'll allow any and everything to come into your life to wreak havoc.

she had those footprints walking alongside her the whole time.
Also Mary have a lot of support. It's when people don't have that is when they succumb to issues.
There's MANY who faced all of that and more without the fame and fortune. Lol
It sucks that mary hasn't found someone that truly loves and care for her but maybe someday it could happen!! I wish her the very best!! ❤️

Mary is such a strong woman. She’s been through a lot and come a long way....
She gave these men 24 years of her life my God. I am so happy that I drop them fast AF.
If Method Man wasn't already married I think him and Mary would make a dope couple. But Method Man loves his wife and he ain't leaving her for nobody! That's how a REAL husband should be!
He took him several decades to get that way. He stayed cheating.
@@jasminacortezonline So true. Method was cheating on her with multiple different women during his prime with Wu Tang Clan and later on.

@@misss.162 Cheating is not acceptable at all. If I was her I would of left him in the heartbeat.

That's right because she is the queen of Hip-Hop soul

Don't want to be in a relationship with HER but yeah,take full advantage of the benefits & lavish lifestyle
Tell me about it. I'm living it now
She’s probably broken. Her choice in men may be bad as well.
@Nina Dollard Now you all know how the Guy's feel bout this 🙄

He took Whendy advice, ask high lol
He ain't no man.... ain't got no job.. get a job you useless worthless POS!!!! Expecting a woman to take care of yo' no account/ no integrity ass!!!
love hope that is still a lot of money. I read up why he wanted 130k, he wanted her to pay for child support for another woman’s child and pay for his parents luxury nursing home, plus some for 1000 for shoes every month. It is absolutely ridiculous. This guy is psycho.
Nobody wants to be strong all the time though. Love and light to Mary I wish her all the love she deserves ❤️
Kendu never wanted her he simply used a different route to gain her trust and went for the bag in which he succeeded smh
Mary should have listened to her first mind when Kendu was chasing her. Her intuition was trying to tell her. She needed to be in rehab and therapy and not a relationship. He took advantage of her vulnerable state...he controlled and manipulated her all those years. Glad she got out and living her best life...love yourself and God all you really need .
As women we always have that 6ths sense and we ignore it.
Trust your gut
If he was putting her down, the words are Not "he is being disrespectful," that is abuseful.
if you gonna be a nun yeah, seems about right.
That Viola Davis meme was hilarious!!! Now you KNOW Kendu was NOT seeing Queen Latifah. RRG, y'all shady lmaoo.
😂😂😂

Right!!!!!😁

Plus back in those days we weren't so exposed to them as in terms of social media. Back then we would only see them in concerts, tv interviews, music videos or magazines so it was not easy to see their drug use.
If KC wasn't so "in love" with Mary, why did he stalk her throughout her entire marriage to Kendu... Why did he make a video with a woman with blonde hair, dressed like Mary with the song entitled "I'm sorry" why did he talk about Mary's husband on stage at every concert saying that Kendu don't love her the way he does... Ha men are jokes
KC is a man who stopped growing at 15. Emotional toddler.
Dam sounds like he missed her, and he treated her like crap just to keep his bad boy image, but I bet she surprised him by who she decided to be in her circumstance.
Unbelievable SMH
I didnt know he did that...
That doesn’t mean he’s in love with her. He did all that to regain access and control over her
I love the gift that she shared with the world...her precious voice. May God bless you MJB. I hope all of the bad wounds from life will be healed by God.
My reaction was the exact same when the part “ She thought him and Queen Latifah was a couple” 😒😂
😂😂😂
Viola and that dang purse!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I was like....shade from heaven.....lawd.....
Keemy Lashay i know, really girl!
She must didn't know 😂😂
Dating for 12 years and the relationship wasn’t serious?! Smh 🤦🏾♀️
To me it sounds like Mary likes to drag out dead relationships. There definitely are illusions surrounding her relationships. Some people with narcissistic traits love to play the victim. She has money, she could have went to therapy and worked on self love and self healing. We all have to learn our way some how. But damn this has been the story of her whole life, abusive, toxic relationships.
@@elnoor3392 desperate women love staying with toxic men
She should have been left
@@millymilly8264 Mary wasn't desperate she just thought they both were in love.
Exactly tf outta here Kci
Too bad social media wasn't out @ 4:19 she would've found out beforehand and saw the clip of K-Ci and prevented that humiliation.
Yes you’re right, and the talk show was so foul for putting her on the spot like that. You could really see how hurt she was.
@@rrg ...yeah, they were! She should've walked out!
I will always have respect for MJB her album My Life helped me get through a deep depression and I was only a teenager🥲 I play that album to this day when I am down. ❤
Gosh that’s beautiful ❤ I do something similar…when she sings her pain on this is me, my soul feels uplifted ❤ love to you!
Me too.... my life album is musical therapy for me when I'm down and out don't know what to do...that album like magic never fails to get me back right. Thank you so much mary ❤ you blessed us with that one.
Such a sad life...she is such a pretty and talented lady. Too often woman don't realize their God-given gifts. I wish her a peaceful, blessed life.
Mary J is like any other woman who has struggled in her love life. The only difference is she makes amazing music when she goes through heartbreak that touches us and helps us through our bad breakups. My wish for her is that she has learned to love herself. As Whitney Houston said “Learning to love yourself it is the greatest love of all”. I don’t believe in looking for a man or prince to suddenly bring love into my life. Women have to learn to do that for themselves. We need to be happy being single and ask God for the gift of discernment so when a man tries to enter our lives, we can make a wise decision as to whether he is worthy or not. Love Mary J 💜
@LadyTea I don't comment but YES and AMEN!
You are so right! I wish her the best!
This woman is amazing phenomenal a true queen 👸🏽
That's my girl. I wish I could meet her in person.
Yessss i Love Mary
me too I love Mary
The fact that Kacey can literally say him and Mary were never that serious but in the same breath say he gave her a ring (in which he never planned on marrying her as if she’s supposed to know that) , and spent 12 years together. These men were evil.
Your content, is by far one of my favorite things to watch on UA-cam.
Three years old and it still hits.
Thank you.
Wow, thanks!
AS I PSYCHOLOGIST I SEE A BROKEN WOMAN WHO HAS NOT FULLY HEALED FROM PAST TRAUMA..... UNTIL SHE DOES SHE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TRULY LOVE AND ACCEPT HERSELF.... ONCE THIS HAS TRANSPIRED THAN SHE WILL ATTRACT A GOOD MAN..... 👍🏽🙏🏽 #prayingforher
True
Or woman..... So quickly people jump to bash men and dont even acknowledge toxic gay relationships between women. 😒
Starr Williams Psychologists do not give unsolicited advice and/or this type of response publicly. We go through the proper assessments in order to draw conclusions about “our” patients. That would be the ethical course of action.
💯💯💯
I'm working on healing my past wounds and making peace within myself and father. It's pretty hard but, I'm taking it day by day.
Lol she thought queen Latifah was in a relationship with a man
Louis Payan no she’s a lesbian
Back then, no one really knew the truth. Ijs.
KC did Mary J a favor.
True
That's my girl.I don't care what nobody says ,about her ,she has been my strength through her music.❤❤❤❤❤👸👸👸👸👸👸
Why? Why? Why???
She is one of my favorite artists. I so want her to find that unconditional love, and to really learn to love herself unconditionally.
Too many of us can relate.
I respect this woman and I love her music but could always feel the pain she was going through. I wish her nothing but the best in future endeavors..
If I were Bill Gates' rich and famous, I'll be happily single because I can't split my money with no broke guy when our marriage go south. I would leave my money to family I trusted and charity.
LikeFirst THEN-Reply he’s leaving his to charity too sis 😂😂😂 he told his kids they will not be in his will.
Bill Gates is married
Listen... I'm gonna be rich... And I'll be in a long term relationship like Oprah... No marriage
@@raymondfields3562 we know
I truly hope she learns to love herself cause know one can love you more than yourself,if a man see your vulnerable he’s gonna take advantage.never buy them they will hang around til you broke then they will go to the next vulnerable ones of women do men the same way but you have to be smart enough not to let it happen to you,if your always giving and the partners not get out before your broke.
She does. She even forgave her family and KC who sung to her mom last year for her birthday.
I would never marry a poor man, if I was rich.
Her music was the anthem of my high school days ❤❤ I hope someday someone comes along & loves her the way she deserves. No fairytales, just love she can rely on.
I’ve heard about her story before and certain aspects saddens me but she’s so strong to the core and I love her. I’m honestly happy you’ve made a video on her life. We trust your videos because you stick to the facts.
I love her!!! Women go thru sooooo much & always feels alone
Tell me about it...
Truth
Frfr
ughhhh yes
apparently mary & kci had argued before their performance of “i don’t wanna do anything else” and that’s why they were looking at each other oddly during at certain moments.
Makes sense
I'm rooting for you Mary. Love heals all wounds. You are amazing.
Me too
MARY J DESERVES A REAL MAN THAT WILL TREAT HER LIKE THE QUEEN SHE IS
To bad there aren't many good black men most of us are forced to date outside our race for me its a hard pass unfortunately all I want is a strong honest stand black man 😢
Video was emotional 😭 So Glad she kicked those 🐕 To Thee Curb 💪
1. I thought Mary and kci met when they worked with father mc
2. Kendu was married with kids. How did mary think he was with latifah?i mean........latifah????? Naw.......
Kendu & his daughter Briana on growing up hip hop have some serious issues! How did Mary deal with that girl, Bri is insane.
Love Mary but always got a tortured soul vibe from her. I hope she finds the peace and happiness she deserves. Such a strong and resilient woman.
GREAT JOB ON THIS STORY!!! WE LOVE MARY & GOD WILL SEND HER THE RIGHT MAN WHEN SHE'S LEAST EXPECTING IT!!! 😍😍😍
I'm addicted to listening to these while I'm getting ready for work in the mornings. Lol.
I watched Mary J. Blige's "My Life" documentary which inspired me to want to buy her music. So far, I bought three, which included My Life because of the people in the documentary who talked about how she saved their life. It's so sad that someone that through all the rough edges, she seems truly down to earth. I have become intrigued by her life and struggles and hope that she finds someone who will love her for her and through the layers, she's built to protect herself. I'm rooting for you, Mary.
@Markus Mcneil can you elaborate?
@Markus Mcneil I get the impression that you may be confused as to what I'm saying. As women, we go through heartbreaks, I just recently experienced one, and for me, as a woman, I want to hear about another woman's pain that I can relate to. When I listen to other women artists, such as Mary, it's because for the most part it may be something that they sing about that I can relate to.
I'm very proud of her! She's one of my musical influences. Everytime I hear her songs I be wanting to sing with her. She will foreva be the queen of Hip Hop Soul!!!
🗣🗣My Life is one of the best albums of all time, PERIODT!! Complete masterpiece, no skips, so good. I love Mary!!!
Right !!!!!
