Blige at 40
and Loving It
The versatile and unmatched
Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J.
Blige sets the record straight in
the O ctober issue of Ebony,
where she talks about her child
hood abuse, rise to fame, con
quered demons, new projects,
being happy and turning the big
4-0.
“I’m 40 and really loving it.
Forty feels so, so good,” says
Blige.
The singer continues to make
waves in headlines. Unlike her
smash hit album. My Life, which
spoke about depression, her 1 Oth
album. My Life II: The Journey
Continues “is about coming out
of that hole and realizing that
even when you’re happy, you,
won’t be everyday.”
Blige puts to rest the rumors
surrounding her marriage.
“We have disagreements ...
marriage is wonderful, and mar
riage is very hard ... if you are
with the right person, the work is
worth it.” And at 40, Mary J. is
thriving in all aspects - music,
entrepreneurship, and stepping
into the roles of two iconic black
women on both the small and big
screens.
