Mary J. Blige has long reigned as the Queen Of Hip-Hop/Soul and now looks set to become acting royalty too.
The icon has, in recent times, upped the ante on the big and small screen; so much so that she’s receiving Oscar buzz for her role in ‘Mudbound.’
She stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss her flick with Tracee Ellis Ross, who was filling in for the show’s anchor.
Their hilarious chat, which touched on music, movies, and much more, awaits after the jump…
Amazing to see MJB winning at life, especially after the tumultuous split from Kendu.
As any star with longevity knows, it’s all about versatility. Hence, we’re elated to see her finding success in other arenas beyond her usual.
