Mary J. Blige Sued by Longtime Friend Misa Hylton Over Business Dispute
Friendship can withstand many challenges, but a reported $5 million business disagreement may be too much for Mary J. Blige and her longtime friend, stylist Misa Hylton. The situation has escalated to a lawsuit alleging that Blige undermined Hylton’s business dealings with rapper Vado.
Background of the Dispute
The heart of the matter lies in Vado’s contractual agreement with Hylton’s management company, M.I.S.A., which stipulated that they would receive 20% of his income. According to sources, allegations suggest that Blige withheld Vado’s completed album to pressure him away from Hylton’s management.
Seeking Resolution
Misa Hylton, feeling frustrated, has reportedly sought to resolve the matter amicably, preferring a settlement rather than the public route of litigation. Nicholas Ramcharitar, Hylton’s attorney, expressed confusion over why Blige and her team have severed communications. On a recent episode of “The Latest With Loren LoRosa,” he stated, “It’s unbeknownst to us why Mary J. Blige and her camp completely cut off Miss Hylton.”
Deteriorating Friendship
While the lawsuit might be centered on Vado’s situation, Ramcharitar noted that deeper issues may have contributed to the decline of Blige and Hylton’s friendship. He mentioned efforts to reach out have gone unanswered, leading to suspicions about the status of their relationship.
Financial Aspects of the Lawsuit
The $5 million figure claimed by Hylton is noteworthy. Some speculate about the reasoning behind such a high sum, especially since Vado—who signed with Blige’s label recently—may not possess the commercial pull to justify it. Co-hosts on the Breakfast Club discussed this unusual assessment, with comments suggesting the legal action might stem from deeper emotional conflicts rather than solely financial concerns.
Implications of External Factors
The dispute may also intertwine with external circumstances, particularly surrounding Sean Combs, who is currently facing serious legal challenges. Hylton has personal ties to Combs, complicating the entire situation further. “There’s a lot going on,” Ramcharitar noted, conveying Hylton’s frustration with the current state of affairs.
Conclusion: A Call for Clarity
Hylton has publicly suggested a desire to understand why Blige has not resolved this matter privately, questioning, “Why won’t Mary J. Blige just resolve this and put this behind all of us?” With communication reportedly severed for over a year, the future of their once-close friendship remains uncertain amidst the ongoing legal battle.
