Mary J. Blige gets sued by her best friend of many decades: Read more

In other news, Mary J. Blige has been dealing with legal turmoil in the last few weeks, seeing as her longtime best friend cum stylist, Misa Hylton, has sued her for $5 million.

According to the LA Times, Hylton is accusing the singer of undermining her business relationship with rapper Vado, and that she allegedly withheld the latter's completed album to force him into abandoning the stylist. Vado, Hylton, and her management company, M.I.S.A., had signed a deal, entitling them to 20% of Vado’s earnings.

Nicholas Ramcharitar, Hylton's attorney, spoke on The Latest With Loren LoRosa podcast just this Tuesday, where he reflected on the situation:

“It’s unbeknownst to us why Mary J. Blige and her camp completely cut off Miss Hylton,” he told LoRosa, who played the conversation Wednesday on the Breakfast Club. “And I can tell you, this Vado lawsuit isn’t why their friendship died.”

While Ramcharitar did not go into the specifics, he added,

“Misa is confused, and we’ve tried, Misa’s tried, to reach out to Mary. We did not want this in the media. Misa just thought that Mary may have been busy.”

He also noted that when all contact was cut off and Hylton was

“not being included in the normal things that they do on a daily, weekly, monthly basis, her antennas went up and we tried to figure out what’s going on here. And that’s really when we started to figure out that the relationship wasn’t the same.”

Hylton is “upset,” her attorney said

“There’s a lot going on. I mean, at the end of the day, Sean Combs and what’s going on with him, it’s unfortunate but it affects everybody.”

For the unversed, Diddy is currently resting behind bars as he awaits his day in court on s*x trafficking and racketeering charges, among others. Hylton is his son, Justin's mother, while Blige kickstarted her career as Combs' protegé.

“Misa’s a wonderful woman ... but she’s upset,” Ramcharitar said. “And again, she’s more upset [about] the relationship. It’s like all of a sudden you have a sister you’ve been with forever and 40 years later your sister stops talking to you and you have no reason why.”
