Mary J. Blige is on a crazy run right now. Fresh off the Super Bowl stage, MJB takes to the NBA All-Star Saturday Night stage and has a new album. Speaking about the album, the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul visited the Breakfast Club and talked about the album, specifically the single “Rent Money”.
Speaking to Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, MJB revealed, ‘Rent Money’ is literally about paying overhead as she faces alimony she had to pay to her ex-husband who had used up her money.
“I wrote this song with the writers during that time,” Blige revealed. “I had to make all these child support payments, and I didn’t have any money to pay them. I had to go on tour to pay for it. I had to go on tour to pay the alimony. I had to go on tour to pay the rent because he spent all the money. When I got to the affidavit and saw everything he did, I was out of dollars. He spent everything. He knew he had spent it all and was asking me for more.”
She added, “Rent Money is about a vacancy.”
Charlamagne asked for clarification as to whether it was an industrial bankruptcy or nothing at all. Mary J. Blige clarified that paying the overheads is not enough, so she has to work for it.
