Mary J. Blige’s recent divorce documents have revealed that she has not made any profit from her work in Mudbound. According to The Blast, excerpts from the court documents said, “The film Mudbound, for example, has produced no net income for Petitioner, but has garnered her critical acclaim and award nominations/ Pursuant to the Mudbound contract, the expenses Petitioner was required to pay in connection with filming Mudbound were greater than her salary.” MJB also claims that she does not own her music catalog and she owes $25 million in advances that she accepted over the years. She also acknowledged that a good portion of her income comes from touring, however Mary is unable to “embark on a major world tour every year” because there is no market for her to do so as a “legacy artist.” Mary said that her and Kendu Isaacs were $12 million in debt prior to the divorce and while she is working to pay it off, Kendu “refuses” to work. The singer added that her ex views her as his “bank.”
