Mary J Blige “Fired Someone” After Tour Setlist Leaked Online

The Queen acted quickly.

Mary J Blige has one of the most revered catalogs in R&B. She’s the Queen of Hip Hop Soul for a reason. She can pull deep cuts from any of her classic albums and still delight audiences with her live show. This element of surprise is a big part of Mary J Blige’s tour, which is why she was so frustrated when her tour setlist leaked online. The singer was devastated to learn someone had released the information online, and she reacted accordingly. She fired a team member she suspected was behind the leak.

Mary J Blige detailed the leak controversy during a recent People interview. She noted that the name of her new tour, For My Fans, wound up being ironic since someone spoiled the setlist for said fans. “We worked too hard and the setlist is the most private thing,” the singer explained. “It was unprofessional. Obviously it was somebody within the camp.” Mary J Blige derided the person for risking their careers just to “get a couple of likes.” It didn’t take long for the singer to identify who the person was, and make sure they were let go.
