Piatequila women are emotional creatures. We don’t know how men think until we get our heart broken. We’re not stupid, we just think you all think the way we do.
Bullshyt.......Stop making excuses for low self esteem. Black Women are so full of excuses and that is why generation after generation.....NOTHING Changes but their faces.
I think KC said that to appear single so his female fan base wouldn't lose interest. He was young and probably didn't understand that he could have just said "I don't want to discuss my personal life right now". Instead he was being wreckless and offended Mary.. They were an interesting couple back then, both extremely talented. I loved their music.
I agree. I think the heartbreak was intensified due to how the show hosts handled it! Famous or not why embarrass her like that with no empathy or care
People fail to realize they were young! K-Ci was like 19. Maybe 20 her the same age so her way of thinking was about right for that age range. Then you add drugs to the mix? Shyt
Damn I didn't realize he did that on national tv. Relationships and heartbreak are tough enough to deal with in private. Can't imagine dealing with this in the public eye. She has really evolved.
I love how y'all stick up for your sister's but damn don't make it seem like you beautiful queens don't posse unacceptable flaws that go UNNOTICED a lot. And we really can't say she dodge a bullet if they would've mature together as couple then who knows what they could've had
Ha! Bullshit! She eating a load of bullets and dinomite with that husband of hers! He is robbing her big time. At Least kci had his own money and wasn't looking for a sugar mama!
That's why I love Mary because when she sing you can feel what she been through! she literally was singing through her pain! while making the💰 dope part of the mess she dealt with. Now My Girl So Blessed..
@Piatequila LOL funny how you speak with wisdom like a respectable person, then refer to me as dick Brain, over someone you don't even know your just taking up for them off biased because she's a woman. But yeah. Mary was cheating also, not to mention she bust in the studio throwing bottles at everyone. "Which was in behind the music confirmed by her".. where she admits her faults also
@Piatequila Mary was sleeping with pac while she was with kc. And she also slept with the singer case. So instead of leaving she cheated and stayed. Which means no angel
Mary dodged that bullet! It's one thing to be an addict all on your own but uh uh if you have a crack buddy along for the ride the crash is so much worse. That's exactly where Whitney and Bobby went wrong.
Her words were so compelling and just so real! Unfortunately there's an enormous amount of us that have gone thru what she just described.......I'm glad she is happier now.
WOW I never heard him say that🤔🤔🤔🤔No wonder she touch so many of our hearts...cause she knows all about PAIN....But my prayer for her tonight and myself NO MORE DRAMA!!!!! I PRAY FOR GOD TO LET HER LOVE AGAIN❤🛐

@@gloriajohnson1310 Hmmmm...sounds familiar. Can you say Bobby Brown? I saw a documentary about him and Whitney and it broke my heart. I believe it was on Tubi TV. Could've been Roku.
Ya'll have to understand they were young, in love, and juggling fame and money. Plus K-Ci was apart of Jodeci at the time which speaks for itself. The abuse wasn't just K-Ci, Mary was beating on him as well. She has admitted in the past that she was very insecure during their relationship and lacked self-love which is why she was looking for it in K-Ci. Her My Life album reflects heavily on those issues. We as women have got to start loving ourselves first, otherwise we'll settle for toxic relationships.
This was me! You don’t want no one else to have him but you deep down inside don’t want him anymore but stay because you believe no one else will want you. God bless her. This hit me hard.
They were kids. K-CI was a young superstar. Management most likely told him that he couldn't go public with their relationship, that he couldn't marry her. You know how the thought process is in the entertainment industry, being single and unattached sales. It's been that way for decades, nothing new.
The law books say you are grown at the age of 18 and you are no longer a minor. They were not grown "mentally speaking," even at the age of 21. It's called "puppy love."
To be real Mary J. and K-Ci were young and in love. And me as a longtime fan of Mary J. this should be a movie through all the fatalities the Queen faced.
@@tdb4763 when u are young, broke, and famous plus your fan base is predominantly young women. Kc was hotter then fish grease and Mary j. Blige was young and broken that came from a fatherless upbringing. That relationship wasn't going to last anyway. She was doing too much.
they BOTH had issues and brought those issues to a relationship on top of that drugs were involved as was fame and money...they were both doomed from the start
Mary. J. Blige, don't deserve the stuff she go through, I'm serious, she deserves better, I might not be Mr Romeo or king Gigolo, but I can give her what she deserves and that's real love, and my love for women is unconditional and priceless money can't buy my emotions, I love all women cause God created them to be loved and cherished regardless of the circumstances, a woman is to be loved and cherished and treated as a Queen, I admit a relationship is going to go through some up's and down's, but that's a part of a true commitment.
I remember watching the show in the uk. It was called The Word. Saw that episode and felt so bad for Mary because she looked so hurt. Even looked like she wanted to walk off. Knowing what we know about their tumultuous relationship I think it was def for the best. Never liked that presenter Dani Behr - such a mean thing to do! Mary you've been through a lot but you really are a Queen
I'm glad Mary realized her worth. That interviewer did her dirty but K-Ci was worse. He didn't realize the gem he had. They could've been a power couple. Mary reclaimed her life and he went on a downwards spiral into irrelevancy.
I loveeee how transparent this interview was. Young women/women period need to have access to this kind of content. On the B4 side of certain stories. Thanks Auntie Mary. 💕✨ Listen to her album The BreakThrough this was her turning point. Much respect.
they were so wrong for frontin' on her on national tv. that was embarrassing and disrespectful. they could've showed her that shyt off camera. that was dirty. but Mary handled it well.
Mary was young who was not in love when they were that young to the wrong damn boy? been there. now you see the clown years later and be like WTF was on my mind Lol
Your right they were both young and mistakes happen. I think K-CI regrets it by his interviews and songs. He paid the price to because like you said it affected his reputation.
Damn.... love is a beautiful thing, but it can be hell if your heart is in the wrong hands. I enjoy listening and seeing how much she loved. I would definitely cherish someone showing and not just saying that they love me.😥... Sorry I had a moment...lol
This the first interview I ever heard Mary j talk about the truth of her relationship with k-ci...I didn't know they were engaged ...but I knew he was violent /abusive towards her and she took it..I thought Tina took alot from Ike...but Mary j suffered alot from K-ci...and I liked him as far as a singer in jodeci...he disappointed me as a man ...I'm glad she moved on and never looked back....you are a strong ..very strong woman Mary j...i love u alot Mary j...cause u are the voice ...for women for us women who also experienced bad relationship who deals with abusive men who disrespect women by over powering them with their fist....I have a name for that C O W A R D S....
K-CI's as a vocalist touched me too but with all those women screaming for him is a huge risk. Mary should've guarded her heart with barb wire & got to know him much better from a different perspective.
Yeah Mary is courageous for admitting all of this stuff. I appreciate her candor so many women need to hear her account. Mary is doing way better than him now it was like whitney and bobby it didn't make sense anyway.
3:11 wow..... Being so Heavenly in love, and feeling like you can't breathe eat without that one is so deep, especially when you love him before you love yourself....
So glad I never went through this. Young girls with their romantic hopes get slashed; knocked down by some guy. Men who never care or even cared about you. They just blame YOUR heartbreak on YOU and walk away from you as though you were not even there. I have never experienced it but I feel for you ladies. Ten years later, you still actually care about the guy and he never gave you a passing thought; you were apart of his "phase". *Hugs* 😿😖
👍🏽💯👍🏽I have, to the point of learning that I realized that I don't need no man to justify my life, so, I said "f*ck that sh*t," and, I just kept it moving. 😂 You live and you learn. Some things just aren't meant to be. 😘
He was so full of himself because back then he was the shit, I can't even front. A lot of times, we are missing things in our lives and we allow ourselves to be taken advantage of and abused by a man just to find that outside source of love. I'm glad she found the strength to move on and the courage to deal with it. Now she is one of the biggest names in R & B...and he and his crackhead brother are on stage drunk and high passing out after one song. Sucks to be K-Ci right now.
So much pain in her voice even when she was speaking here about it years later. I remember seeing both interviews live in the 1990s and my university friend and I are we’re taking about how he just publicly humiliated her. It was just so embarrassing for her but just horrible and unnecessary to disrespect her like that. That’s what happens to these men. Do you think if it wasn’t for Jodeci and the fame she would even have spat on him?! Man could sing the birds out of the trees but he weren’t no oil painting!
I was a Freshman in Highschool. A die hard Fan. They talked so Bad about Mary. And I was that MF. That Understood it all. I was 14. I knew then. Mary was suffering. I knew then she was gonna be Ok. She was Honest, Hurt, and Sad.
I believe Mary. Not because she is my favorite singer because i love Jodeci as well. But when you were in a situation similar to hers then you lean more on her side. He was wrong, no excuses
I wanted them together, what a beautiful healthy and talented child they would've made. He just was in a whole nother space and time. He wasnt ready, but now i think he may have regretted saying that. I think now, he wishes he couldve been with her. Or at least made better decisions in regards to his relationship to her.
He was young and wasn't ready to be the man that Mary J Blige need then. And she wasn't ready as a young woman. They were still growing up and exploring and when your young and think your in love nobody can tell you anything. But the Man he is today he probably would be a way better husband then that gold digging bum she married.
I love both Mary Jane and Kci, they both had issues Kci was drinking andMary was on drugs. But she used to show up at the shows and try to fight females in the audience for touching on Kci so they both had issues. But I believe their love will never die!
At that time Mary had cleaned up her image "a bit" so although we can clearly see that see might have wanted to go off, she restrained herself. But you can tell she was pissed.
Mrbezals Mary actually was doing drugs before that relationship even took place. She started mixing drugs during the relationship. Mary has been through a lot as a person And a woman. She was molested and her father abandoned her and her siblings, then she dropped out of school and shortly after began her career. She has admitted to all these things, this is what she portrays in her music. She has been hurt abandoned, used and abused. But no one made her "snort" anything
aww, wow that's foul. as much as i love jodeci and k-ci with a fiery passion, i absolutely can not deny that what he did was messed up. he did her wrong..poor mary....but people learn and change and GROW UP so hopefully she's forgiven him for the wrong he's done and they both can move on
My girl survive it all and Looking back at this she is probably laughing her ass that she even allow this clown to even Play her like this.... That is why she is A Grown Woman" .... I know Kc is wishing he never did that
Mary J need her own movie.

Yeah Mary is courageous for admitting all of this stuff. I appreciate her candor so many women need to hear her account. Mary is doing way better than him now it was like whitney and bobby it didn't make sense anyway.
3:11 wow..... Being so Heavenly in love, and feeling like you can't breathe eat without that one is so deep, especially when you love him before you love yourself....
Exactly..I've been there before..
Well at the end of the day, Mary and K-Ci had their moments and now Mary remains on top...
So glad I never went through this. Young girls with their romantic hopes get slashed; knocked down by some guy. Men who never care or even cared about you. They just blame YOUR heartbreak on YOU and walk away from you as though you were not even there. I have never experienced it but I feel for you ladies. Ten years later, you still actually care about the guy and he never gave you a passing thought; you were apart of his "phase". *Hugs* 😿😖
Yvonne Criddle I hope you experience it
Have you ever been in love?
👍🏽💯👍🏽I have, to the point of learning that I realized that I don't need no man to justify my life, so, I said "f*ck that sh*t," and, I just kept it moving. 😂 You live and you learn. Some things just aren't meant to be. 😘
heart ache, pain, break ups and more pain is what makes a hit song a hit
Damn he hurt the hell out of Mary i felt that pain
What a great honest interview. Respect.
Mary J Blige is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen...I love her spirit and if I ever find a woman like that, daaaamn!!!
He was so full of himself because back then he was the shit, I can't even front. A lot of times, we are missing things in our lives and we allow ourselves to be taken advantage of and abused by a man just to find that outside source of love. I'm glad she found the strength to move on and the courage to deal with it. Now she is one of the biggest names in R & B...and he and his crackhead brother are on stage drunk and high passing out after one song. Sucks to be K-Ci right now.
In 2023, this is still needed to be heard. Without self love, the darkness truly thrives 🗣️
they were soooo young....
So much pain in her voice even when she was speaking here about it years later. I remember seeing both interviews live in the 1990s and my university friend and I are we’re taking about how he just publicly humiliated her. It was just so embarrassing for her but just horrible and unnecessary to disrespect her like that. That’s what happens to these men. Do you think if it wasn’t for Jodeci and the fame she would even have spat on him?! Man could sing the birds out of the trees but he weren’t no oil painting!
The host embarrassed her more
@@mccolycoken both are at fault
I was a Freshman in Highschool. A die hard Fan. They talked so Bad about Mary. And I was that MF. That Understood it all. I was 14. I knew then. Mary was suffering. I knew then she was gonna be Ok. She was Honest, Hurt, and Sad.
Thank you K Ci for "My Life". Thank you , thank you, thank you!
Mary biopic is goin to Impact Millions one day watch
I believe Mary. Not because she is my favorite singer because i love Jodeci as well. But when you were in a situation similar to hers then you lean more on her side. He was wrong, no excuses
I wanted them together, what a beautiful healthy and talented child they would've made. He just was in a whole nother space and time. He wasnt ready, but now i think he may have regretted saying that. I think now, he wishes he couldve been with her. Or at least made better decisions in regards to his relationship to her.
He was young and wasn't ready to be the man that Mary J Blige need then. And she wasn't ready as a young woman. They were still growing up and exploring and when your young and think your in love nobody can tell you anything. But the Man he is today he probably would be a way better husband then that gold digging bum she married.
Definitely
omg on national tv i would have started crying
I love both Mary Jane and Kci, they both had issues Kci was drinking andMary was on drugs. But she used to show up at the shows and try to fight females in the audience for touching on Kci so they both had issues. But I believe their love will never die!
POWERFUL! DAPHNE COTTON. THANKS YOU SISTER! ●BROWN FAMILY INCREDIBLE. 💜
At that time Mary had cleaned up her image "a bit" so although we can clearly see that see might have wanted to go off, she restrained herself. But you can tell she was pissed.
Some endings are blessings
I always wanted them to end up together
They would have been a power couple at that time, but in all reality, there is really no such thing, especially in "Hollyweird." SMH! 😢
Man that probably hurt me more than it hurt Mary. I love you Mary!
I know what this feel like.. It's sad. And hard to overcome.. But it strengthens U
Love yourself LADIES ❤❤❤
both are hall of fame level
She speaking some real shit. Definitely can relate
Where was this from? Never seen it before. Damn, that interviewer was not playing. Geeeez!
No one is perfect in a relationship but K-Ci and the tv host made Mary look like a damn fool on tv. Maybe it was a good thing Mary saw the clip.
Mrbezals Mary actually was doing drugs before that relationship even took place. She started mixing drugs during the relationship. Mary has been through a lot as a person And a woman. She was molested and her father abandoned her and her siblings, then she dropped out of school and shortly after began her career. She has admitted to all these things, this is what she portrays in her music. She has been hurt abandoned, used and abused. But no one made her "snort" anything
That's still my jam 🎶🎶🎶
aww, wow that's foul. as much as i love jodeci and k-ci with a fiery passion, i absolutely can not deny that what he did was messed up. he did her wrong..poor mary....but people learn and change and GROW UP so hopefully she's forgiven him for the wrong he's done and they both can move on
I love that song
@1:38 That was a REAL Jerry Springer/Maury moment with the WHOLE REACTION from the audience😄 #Boooooo
This would be a GREAT movie !
My Mary had felt so much pain. She’s better off with out him.
My girl survive it all and Looking back at this she is probably laughing her ass that she even allow this clown to even Play her like this.... That is why she is A Grown Woman" .... I know Kc is wishing he never did that
Wow! I never knew this part about them
