Mary J.Blige Dismisses Verzuz Rumors

Mary J. Blige seems uninterested in competing in a Verzuz battle soon!

Mary J. Blige, the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, has one of the most prolific catalogues of her time. She has hits ranging from the early 90s to the late 2000s. Blige has sold over 100 million records worldwide. She has won nine Grammy Awards, four American Music Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards and three Golden Globe Award nominations. Her impact is unmistakable and her status as a legend is solidified.

So why wouldn’t an icon like her want to celebrate her accomplishments?

Mary J.Blige has recently been on a press run for her new documentary on Amazon Prime, “My Life”. The documentary details her process of self-discovery and self-love throughout her career, specifically around the time of her legendary album “My Life”.

Recently, she was a guest on The Breakfast Club. Blige was asked if she would consider making an appearance on the popular music battle show Verzuz.

This comes after rumors of a Mary J.Blige vs Toni Braxton Verzuz in the works. Verzuz quickly dismissed the rumors.

“We love both ladies, but this is not a confirmed #VERZUZ event. Please stay tuned for upcoming announcements on our future shows.”

Blige was asked if she would do the show at all. Her fans would not pleased with her response. 

“I don’t know what a Verzuz would do for me.I’m not sure what a Verzuz could do for Mary J. Blige right now, but um, right now, it’s not something that’s on the top of my list.”  

The hosts tried to push her to say that it was more for her fans than anything for her brand but she seemed unbothered.

We would love to see Mary J. Blige burn up the Verzuz stage but we may never get it. In the meantime, she has given us an entire documentary of a deep dive into her life as an artist. You can watch it here.
