Mary J. Blige and Kendu Isaacs are both probably not too happy with recent press the singer keeps getting that alleges to money problems. R&B singer Mary J. Blige might have set a standard for the newer generation of soulful singers to follow and even though there may be a new era of great voices and new music, Mary can’t be replaced as the “Queen of Hip Hop Soul.” It’s clearly her title to keep and she’s obtained a huge collection of hits that make her irreplaceable. However, Mary’s latest reported money issues are making headlines more so than her actual music career these days. Not only has her charity been a disaster and one of the causes of her latest troubles, but it’s also the big reason she’s been the target of several lawsuits as of late. And according to several reports, she’s in lots of debt allegedly because she hasn’t paid back several loans she took out for the charity.
If that wasn’t bad enough, Mary also recently got slapped with a hefty tax bill that’s in the millions. While she’s not the only R&B legend to take on the IRS, many are questioning where her husband and manager Kendu Isaacs is in all of this drama. In fact, a lot of the singer’s fans are starting to feel like he’s not doing his job as a manager to make sure she doesn’t acquire a whole bunch of money issues and bad press. However, Kendu apparently doesn’t agree with his critics, and when one of Mary’s fans came for him on Twitter and asked him why he’s not holding his wife down, he slammed the fan and said they are good despite what the numerous reports claim. Read the tweets from top to bottom:
This is why I don’t understand why these singers keep letting their husbands “manage” them. It never works out. I won’t be surprised if they end up splitting up either.
He is dropping the ball. And he’s all in his feelings when he gets called out. Very unprofessional.
All I know is Mary’s career has been spiraling out of control since Kendu. Coincidence? I think not.
Didn’t the whole “Crispy Chicken” thing happen on Kendu’s watch too? Umm, yeah. She needs a new team.
So he’s saying it’s not true. I don’t know Kendu…it sure does look that way.
Smh. He shouldn’t have said anything. I’m sure the tweet got under his skin, but he’s not looking professional right now. And it’s not a good look for Mary.
Wait a minute, didn’t they get together while he was married? If so, this is KARMA.
He’s definitely not a good manager. Mary needs to fire him!
Kendu wanted Mary because he saw dollar signs. And it shows.
Smh. The truth hurts I see.
Ummmmm Mary’s fans made her famous not you Buster so telling the fan base to mind our own business is funny because with no fan base Mary will just become a has been, and as her manager you were suppose to have her back and make sure everything ran smooth. but like other mangers they jerk their artist and leave them broke. Is that why you married Mary so you could get close to her MONEY!!! Yes you are to blame Kendu!!!!
WOW!! what is wrong with you people?? I’ve attended many Mary J Blige concerts, before and after her husband. I vowed never to attend another Mary concert, because she was a HOT MESS!! In comes the husband, and I gave her another chance..I could not believe the difference. She went from a hot mess, to incredible..Whatever this man did, I believe saved her life. The LOVE of a good man is priceless..LET’S JUST BE FANS, BUT MIND OUR OWN BUSINESS!!MARRIAGE IS HARD ENOUGH, WITHOUT THE ADDED STRESS OF SO CALLED FANS…KENDU AND MARY, I’M PRAYING FOR YOU…MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR MARRIAGE, WITH OR WITHOUT THE MONEY…A TRUE FAN!!
