NEW YORK - Mary J. Blige may have more drama on the horizon thanks to her estranged husband, Kendu Isaacs.
He’s reportedly seeking more spousal support from the singer who sent him packing over alleged infi- delity last June. After 12 years of marriage, he’s look- ing to cash in on her sorrow- fueled success.
According to reports, he’s insisting he needs $65,000
per month from the Grammy winner to “survive” and basi- cally credits himself for help- ing her endure the heartache that prompted her recent di- vorce-inspired songs, “Set Me Free” and “Love Yourself”.
He’s also alleging the su- perstar has tarnished his name by sharing their dirty laundry with the world, pro- hibiting him for obtaining a job of his own, while Blige is seeing a surge of success since the split.
