Yahoo Lifestyle Mary J. Blige Reveals Why She Fired A Staffer From Her 'For My Fans' Tour
Along with “hateration” and “holleration,” Mary J. Blige will also not be tolerating leaks associated with her concerts.
In an exclusive interview with People, the Grammy-winning artist revealed that she fired a staff member after the setlist for her upcoming “For My Fans” tour was leaked last week.
“Yeah, I was pissed, and I fired someone because of it,” Blige said. “We worked too hard and the setlist is the most private thing.”
Blige called the leak “unprofessional,” and added that the culprit risked “their whole life just to get a couple of likes.”
Still, she said, fans can rest assured that there are plenty more surprises from the “My Life” singer.
“Only a little bit got leaked, and that’s not even half,” Blige said. “People don’t even know what else is coming.”
The tour will kick off in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Jan. 30, with special guests Ne-Yo and Mario.
“I love Ne-Yo and Mario and I think those two guys have some of the best love songs of their generation,” Blige remarked. “Last time, I had Queen Naija and Ella Mai [on the “Good Morning Gorgeous” tour.] I love me some Ella Mai, and I love Queen. This time I said, ‘We really need the women to be serenaded this time.’ We really need the women to feel special, and it’s time for women to feel special.”
