Mary J. Blige BLASTS Former Best Friend Misa Hylton’s $5M Lawsuit As “Frivolous” & “Malicious”

‘No More Drama‘ diva Mary J. Blige is breaking her silence on the headline-rocking legal drama between herself and former best friend / celebrity stylist Misa Hylton.

As reported here, Hylton – manager of rapper Vado – hit the diva with a $5 million lawsuit over her client who is signed to the Hip-Hop Soul Queen’s label after alleged plans fell through for him to join her on tour.

“These women were closer than biological sisters. Misa did everything to keep this private—calls, texts, even letters to Mary’s legal team. But after months of silence and missed obligations, we had no choice but to file. This lawsuit wasn’t Plan A—it was Plan Z,” said members from Misa’s legal team. “She exhausted every avenue before resorting to the courts.”

Now, after months of silence, Blige has clapped back through her own legal reps.

See what was said inside.

In their motion to have Misa’s lawsuit tossed, Blige’s legal team branded the claims “patently frivolous” and said the stylist-turned-music manager filed the suit “for the sole purpose of harassing and causing malicious injury.”

“Plaintiffs and their counsel appear to enjoy fabricating accusations that will be discussed in the press and on social media for the purposes of harassing Defendants and trying to coerce a favorable settlement,” said Mary’s attorney Sarah M. Matz. “Vado’s claims fare no better. Asserting a breach of contract claim against Blige individually is by itself sanctionable. Blige is not a party to Vado’s recording agreement nor has any other basis been pled against Blige, making it clear she was included solely for purposes of harassment.”

To add fuel to the fire, MJB is reportedly not only seeking the suit’s dismissal but also prepping a countersuit.

At writing, Misa’s team has not issued a statement in response to Mary’s.
