Songbird Mary J. Blige is pulling out the big guns in her bitter divorce battle with former manager Martin “Kendu” Isaacs. Blige, 45, filed for divorce from Isaacs, 47, in July. She cited the usual irreconcilable differences and infidelity.
But Isaacs retaliated by demanding $130,000 a month in living expenses from Blige, claiming he had no other source of income during their 9 years as husband and wife.
In newly filed documents, Blige accused Isaacs of fraudulently cheating her out of $420,000 in falsely claimed business expenses.
WENN.com — The singer has filed new documents claiming Isaacs, who was fired as her manager shortly before she filed for divorce, “fleeced her out of” $420,000 by claiming business expenses that had nothing to do with her career, according to TMZ.com.
She has also accused Isaacs of failing to return three luxury cars that had been leased under her company’s name. A Range Rover was supposed to be returned in February, she wants a Mercedes C300 back and is allowing him to keep the Mercedes SL550.
The “Family Affair” star further alleges he is refusing to return a Grammy trophy to her as well as other “achievement awards”.
Man up and get a damn job.
Cheaper for a hit man.
SHE’S LETTING YOU KEEP THE SL, BUT YOU WON’T GIVE BACK THE GRAMMY, CL, AND RANGE THAT AIN’T EVEN YOURN?? SHE’S GIVING YOU THE SL! THIS WILL BE MESSY…HE’S A USER.
He had another source, he just chose NOT to get his ase up and WORK!
I would NEVER, and I mean EVER hire my husband as a manager. So did he save.
I see he’s trying to get on that Lamar Sally track. Kendon’t, just because Mary paid your child support doesn’t mean those are her kids. I see you didn’t study Lamar well enough.
You see how that fella asking for more money.
I don’t wish divorce on no one. BUT, I’m thinking spring 2016 is gonna be a great time for the old school R&B heads. That lil roach KCi gave her ammo early in her career with the ass whoopings and such. Now this fool is about to give her just what she needs to come back strong as hell, career wise. Happy Mary is cool with the danceries and chicken odes, but hurt Mary always drops classics.
I guess she is my generations version of Aretha. My mama swears Aretha was always cool and all, but when she had man issues, she would always drop pure fire.
Only person I’m hiring is my sister! Me and she must neva part roundst this BIA!
Pray Roses. On my way to Charleston. My daddy is on life support. Care home called about 45 minutes ago. I done threw shyt in a bag, made a whole lot of calls…. and luckily I was wfh today. Sitting here waiting on my sister. Pray we make it in time if it is indeed time. Love yall.
Dubb we are praying for you love. Please keep us updated when you can. Love you sis.
Yep. He’s probably going to get it too.
Praying for you and your family. Love you, Dub!!!
This doesn’t make sense. I thought that he was managing her during their relationship. If so shouldn’t he have had a source of income while they were together. If not…. then I would say the only think that she owes him is what was not “officially” paid to him as her manager.
Even still as a man why would you even want to be asking a women to give you something monthly. He should have been on his Safaree… and at least invested in some type of businesses of his own.
What happens when you in a rush for a husband.
Praying for you and your family.
he was robbing his own wife??? i would divorce his arse too.
OMG, you and Dubb family are in my prayers. Love and strength to you and the family!
Us Prayer Roses are about to tarry and pray! I knew you became silent for a reason! #GODCanDo
Prayers going up for pops, you, the fam, and safe travels.
Praying for you. My dad is on ICU right now. Its been over a week.
Omg!!! Praying for you and your family!!!
YOU CAN’T STICK UP THE QUEEN OF SOUL….WHO IS YOU BRUH
I’m praying for you
Boy is he a piece of dog chit. Makes me wonder what was appealing about him to begin with.
Lamar is asking for more? Again??
Praying for safe travels and God’s mercy
Prayers for you and your family Dub! Be safe on the road.
What happens when you in a rush for a husband and will settle for anything cause you built like a Weeble Wobble.
_______________
Had to finish that for you.
*unplugs all your electronics *
Praying…Safe travels…
What a loser!
I cannot stand yew!
Cuts off your access to the internet.
Blige accused Isaacs of fraudulently cheating her out of $420,000 in falsely claimed business expenses.
————–
He was probably paying his child support, trainer, and nutritionist out of the business account. Smh he won’t get another job or female after this
Sometimes the wrong person has the worst effect for a reason. Sounds strange but it seems like Mary’s taking another step towards being her best self. She’ll get the money back, one way or the other. If he didn’t have other clients during the marriage, that’s not her fault.
said a prayer for you and your family.
Me either ???
Female im sure he will there is always another fool out there.
I think she has been so broken after the abusive relationships that she was not able to see him for who he was, So she ended up with the same thing just in a different warping. . She should have allowed herself to heal and get some spiritual counseling.
Safe travels for you and your sis. Praying for your father
More than anything, the fact that he is keeping her Grammy award reveals what a turd he is!
I’m so sorry to hear that. Praying for safe travels. ??
” God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress” (Psalms 46:1)
Stay strong sis, praying for you and your family.
Praying for you and your family. God is able!
YOU MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT HE CAME FOR NICKI’S MONEY & BUSINESS TOO B/C HE SAID IT WAS THEIRS JOINTLY AND HE CO-WROTE FOR HER. I THINK SHE MUST’VE SETTLED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WITH A CONFIDENTIALITY CLAUSE B/C IT WENT AWAY AND WE AIN’T HEARD ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT………JENNY JONES!!!
Praying for you all. Be safe.
The thing now is…who in their right mind would hire him to manage their career? He shot himself in the foot several times because people will associate him with that chicken commercial.
I pray that love never, ever, ever makes me blind to handling my business as a woman.
They were married so the money was both of theirs
Can’t help but notice the recent music she’s putting out is filled with heartache, yet damn good. The first time I heard “Whole Damn Year” i was in tears! Love “Doubt” as well, and “In The Thick of It”
Praying
Awww Dub love to you and yours. Get there safely.
HE KNEW THE END WAS COMING AND WHAT THAT PRE-NUP SAID, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, BOY BYE!!!……..JENNY JONES!!!
The joint married account yes. But the business account should be for BUSINESS only! Not his personal bills
Madness! He’s probably been supporting his cheating lifestyle on Mary’s dime…Jerk!
praying for you and your family
Thick of it FRFR
All of this!!
Word
She trusted him as a wife should and he took advantage. I hope karma bites him in the balls soooo hard!!
A fool she would be too
I would be on board with you if she just had the finances like that ie Beyonce, JLo, Madonna truth is Mary stays in financial woes. #NoBeuno
He invested over $400k into himself according to her lawsuit
Praying for you, him, and the rest of the family
So he decided to kick his feet up and be her “manager” for nine years and now has no source of income…if I was Mary, I would tell him that sounds like a personal problem and he need to put his big boy pants on and get a job.
Will never do any thing that includes business, money, or property with family ever again. I learned the hard way.
Well Dr. P, pray that you never meet Dr. D!
This!
That right there will get you investigated by the IRS.
You can’t trust s green eyed devil
Queen Latifah introduced them.
Mary J. Didn’t heed Oprah’s advice. Oprah tells everybody – YOU sign the checks.
So you said that to say, you hope karma bites Queen in the balls too?
Prayers for Daddy Dub, You & Your Family.
No! Mary’s money is just that MARY’S MONEY! Kendoodoo isn’t entitled to any of the money Mary had prior to meeting his mooching ass! He was her manager , she gave the loser a job and he cheated on her and expects her to pay his children support and living expenses. I’d personally cuss Kendoodoo ass out for Mary no questions asked. Pieces of shit him and his punching bag daughter are.
I’m so sick of this fat sissy. Mary please hire somebody to dump his ass in the ocean somewhere. Love my fellow Cap.
Hear me out….I have a fiancée and plan on getting married next year. Heck yes I love the hell outta him, but he WILLNT AND SHILLNT know about my finances like that. He will know what I let him know. He knows I’m good cuz I have my own everything. No ma’am. I just can’t let my man or no man know what I’m doing with mines. Not going to be able to do it bro.???
Yea I remember, but he still had some of his own stuff outside of her. He just wanted to get more. Which I think that he probably did deserve more based on doing work and being compensated for it. That’s why the Dream got all that bank through writing songs.
If Safaree was writing her stuff with her (which I think he was) he probably should have been getting a lot more than what he did… But that what happens with you mix business with “relationships”
ugh. kendu is bishmade for real.
??@ fat sissy lmaoo
You know these men are bitchmade these days.
UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT He was her husband and her manager he’s entitled to THEIR money. I do not believe he stole money from her. I think she’s mad because he cheated. And to say he hasn’t worked because he’s been her manager all these years is unfair. Being her manager is prob a full time job.
If you get divorced he is going to know anyway. Better get a prenuptual agreement outlining what belongs to who.
Just replied the same thing below
Just reading this. You know I’m praying for Daddy Dub and all the dubs
Exactly ,but I’m not willing to just tell him flat out. He gotta find it himself.
Oh Mary Mary, what have you gotten yourself into???
she would have done better introducing her to a female
I agree he deserves something, but there are no children from their relationship and he was in finance before they married, so he should have been able to keep her out of IRS trouble. I believe that audit brought a lot of expenditures to light and lead to the divorce.
when it comes to business practices certain records need to be accurate to avoid Uncle Sam being all in the mix…he was committing fraud against her business…one that existed before he even got into the picture. that can’t be justified
Yes, but if those items are not listed in the prenup as being soley yours, they could be community property.
That’s why I’m getting this shirt in all colors.

I’m married with a post-nup hun. My mama ain’t raise no fool. Leave with the $13.12 you came in with.
Me and my friends were ready to personally knock on his door after seeing her break down in concert…it’s serious about MARY!!!
True, but Mary does not seem to type to listen. Like if she wants to spend she will. Also, she’s filed bankruptcy during the marriage seems like improprieties (on his part) would have come out then.
Sch-mon outta here, massah has a new post up yondah
In that case they will be listed as solely mines then.??
well I think managers of artist should be making more than that of the course of 9 years…. He’s a fool either way smh
He should have been looking for new acts while he had her name under his belt…he screwed himself all around
My guess is he will be featured on next season of LHHNY…Mariah Lynn and Bianca…they need managers
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/973639c91c826c3e927da09aa765a848d5d73a978c3fdd1800acfbf04741072a.jpg $13.12?I have to hit you with the Well Damn! ?
He probably did… he just stole extra. Most managers get 10%
He need to go find someone else to manage ole duck ass!
@Araminta. Now I agree with this. Us Caps are hard-headed as fck. We always learn the hard way & I’m pretty sure someone warn her not to date/marry him.
Hey Pound Puppy! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d8086a3890b2e86375fc8367270f330070632cd303118a974aa1e1f0abf6f800.gif
yes…I think he was ghost writing for her and in the end she settled….now he’s trying to get famous and her releases have slowed down….she was dropping albums back to back when she was with Safaree
Nah he shouldn’t get anything . What happened to the money he earned as Mary’s manager? Why should she have to financially support him and his kids? If he did indeed cheat on her he isn’t entitled to anything. If I were Mary I’d cry alienation of affection, and drag starshell into it. Suing the both of them, for destroying her narriage. Had he not cheated and was a good husband I’d respond differently, but don’t cheat on me then put your hand in my face for money. I’d do everything in my power to make sure he leaves with only what he came with, nothing more and maybe even less. Kendoodoo needs to get on the good foot and find a damn job.
Now I’ve been in love with some dack before, but not so in love where I’ve ever played about my damn money. Mary got caught slipping & Kendoo-doo don’t look like he has good dack at all.
So what does Kendoodoo’s daughter has to say now? I’m sure daddy was lacing her with designer shyt on Merry’s dime.
Man, so I understand women get paid after being married (with money) and maybe I don’t know all the details in this case but did mary and Kendu have kids and Kendu keeping the kids or something. That’s a whole lotta money. I didn’t plan my future right I should have been someone’s beard….
IS lovezoe in here !!?!?!
Ha! I call him the same name. Lol.
I find it disgusting when a man tries to live off a woman’s back after they divorce especially if there isn’t any children involved.
THIS…TURD INDEED
Me too! You can see the pain in her eyes. Her new video for the thick of it had me ready to track that fool down!
I would feel the exact same way if my husband broke our covenant. I hate cheating and I think people who engage in that behavior are ruthless . But that doesn’t change the fact that the money made during the marriage was theirs. I’m not excusing his behavior I’m just saying I don’t think him being her manager makes him lazy. And I agree now that Mary’s no longer his client he needs a job.
They do not have any kids together.
Yeah I know I just don’t understand these custody battles and why he feel like he needs 130K.
I don’t think this man could manage a lemonade stand. He needs to find another occupation.
LMAO!
Kendu… now you know you ain’t sh*t. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/386cb8c96704afc95224f752af849fc2128760902896d2ad6efb7099967c5cd1.gif
I don’t know why it took her so long to wake up! But his TRUE broke colors shine bright bc he is nothing without her. Fu*****bum!
I hope whatever money she earned during their marriage went through her and not their record label and or management company. I just don’t want that cat eyed cheater to get anything. She was singing odes to chicken while with him ? fcuk him!
Why did she marry this clown???she been single dam near her whole career I only remember KC…
They were only married 9 yrs. I feel like they have been together 25.
Is that rapunzle (ESP)?
Because he clearly is a Flea, Tick LEECH!
Lmao
Green eyed, bubble bu?t self. He KNOW he wrong. She paid his child support and everything else and he has the nerve to want more, after cheating??? Boy, boy, boy, some people just need to be dealt with in a heartless way. This is so low of him but watch Mary bounce back and he is going to end up marrying a bïtch name “karma.”
lmbo
Being a capricorn sucks sometimes. We’re late bloomers, hard headed, lonely at times ( reason why Mary settled for that loser), PETTY, age in reverse , and we spend the first part of our lives dealing with hard times.
He’s a bum. Mary get it together so you can take this thief down. I don’t know what I hate more. A liar or a THIEF.
Side note*
Went to her concert last week, and she’s definitely back! I felt all that pain in her voice. I hate she gotta hurt for us to get greatness.
Kendu doesn’t even seem like Mary’s type, she doesn’t look like she’s into fat dudes. I still picture her with someone that looks like k-ci. And as far as the dack kendoo looks like he has that finger length shit, where k-ci was probably working with something
Yes, her music sounds nothing like Nicki of the past.
Right! Sad thing is that people were telling him that he sounded like her lol.
And people can say what they want about dude, but not too many men will sit back and let you/help you get all the shine like that for YEARS
Oh no, he got a bubble but too. This is getting worse by the minute.
“fleeced her out of” $420,000
Right, cheating and wanting the funds? Blasphemy
That’s adding insult to injury
Ionno, picked it out the garden! ?
some people just need to be dealt with in a heartless way. 10000% agree
oh well Marry should of said f*ck it but than again he wrong to taker her kindness and treat her like shyt
Probably not…. A lot of them don’t really be doing their business right when they get married. It seems like it all gets too complicated. But I’m sure Kris K is making sure she getting all her coins as well as benefits of being the mother of all of them.
It seems like it make be a little tough to keep business separated when you Married and in the same household
why keep the Grammy thooooo? that’s dirty!! that man didn’t sing a single Vowel!!
LMAO…yep that’s been about it

Songbird Mary J. Blige……. is pulling out the big guns in her bitter divorce battle with former manager Martin “Kendu” Isaacs……….

Well said !!
Yuck . I can’t stand when a dude has a bubble/jelly/jiggly big butt, or hips like a female ?
Never good to have your spouse be your manager. Never.
He came in that relationship cold and calculating you can clearly see that now. if he loved her just a little bit he would not be going this far. Ol bitter bish!! Men worse than women when it comes to breaking up just ask Lamar Sally ol pickle head ass
Yes caps do that and y’all shouldn’t. Caps run from the people who really loved them and commit to the people who are so-so about them. That’s why they end up miserable.
or family period imo.
LOL. was it girlfriends where joan dated some dude with lady hips?
Mary, GIRL Bye it was probably like 650 to a million.
In my defense the men that usually want to commit look like the stuff of nightmares. While the losers are more physically appealing, bad for you but nice to look at. I can’t find a middle ground so I fly solo.
As her manager, he collected a salary. He is entitled to that salary, and that alone. What he should not be entitled to is alimony imo. If he is a talented businessman, he should be able to get other clients. He has held employment and did not come out of the marriage with no marketable skills, no education and no means to get a high paying job. Alimony is usually reserved for individuals who held no employment during their time with their spouse and whose main job was rearing their family while the employed person handled bills, who made significantly less, and otherwise could not be financially stable at a reasonable comfort level with subsidizing their income with help from a partner. I do not think Kendu’s children even lived with the couple full time, thus he shouldn’t be entitled to child support by any means. Especially at the amount he is requesting which is exorbitant.
That man wants his money Mary fried chicken face azz needs to give that man his money he dick her down for 11 years when no other man would..he clean her up the best he could got that scar face crack head ho off drugs. So Yea pay that man.. ??”WELL IM NOT GON CRY, IM NOT GONE CRY, IM NOT GON SHED A TEAR”??
I just choked on my salad lmao not the lyrics
Well she is woke now to the B.S. I wish her well.
Didn’t this fool have Mary singing about crispy chicken and lettuce.Lol yeah she was blind.
Don’t choke
I agree 100%!!!!
It’s a recipe for disaster.
Queen Cap here and thats me all day!!!
yup my grandma used to say, Girl, u love the wrong ppl.
didnt know mary was a Cap
I hate to see men act like this. I never trusted him from the beginning of there relationship
TUH…AT LEAST.
At least you admit it… that is maturity. Some people act like they never met anyone that was good for them. LMAO @ the nightmare reference.
Cheating on her with one of his artists that isn’t making any money. And when this is over, she will leave him because what other female artist would get with him after this?
Like Tim from Sweetie Pies?
You’re in my prayers and thoughts. Try to remain positive and bring that positive energy with you.
Now if she did the ‘Kandi Burrus’ to him by forcing him to quit supporting other artists, then that is another problem. It’s sad that you have think these things through. But the lesson is to never ask your man to focus fully on your career if he is in management or entertainment, it could end badly.
Word.
Yeah
Girl, I got ducked over by a dude with big hips and 4 nipples til this day I just look back and shake my head.
that’s the worst part. as someone who I on her 2nd relationship ever at the age of 27 (1st one I was 24), and am engaged, sometimes it’s harder when you’ve only allowed yourself to open up to a few and you get screwed over each time. I can’t imagine what she’s going through
he wants her to pay for children he had from a previous relationship
Kendu is saying he hasn’t worked which is why he feels he’s entitled to that much. we’re all saying he DID have a job, managing her career, so what was he doing with the coins he collected? plus, she had a pre-nup so it’s not THEIR money. those are not HER kids nor did she adopt them as her own so she is not financially responsible for them either.
I love words. your response tickled my literary palette! LOL
Merida
…AND where they do that at??? TF wrong with him? YOu kidding I hope.
Queen could only introduce. Mary herself said he kept her clean and sober and that she was grateful to who he was to her at the time of her life when they met. who knows what happened over the course of their entire relationship. people change. he probably was, at some point, the love of her life and she never thought this would happen
That sounds awful. Blessing you and your family up. Here’s to hoping you all spend at least one last Christmas together. Take care.
man hips … lol
Oh my! Tim has “birthing” hips.
Yes! His bu?t sticks out further than hers. It’s noting worse than your man standing beside you and out “badonk-a-donking” you.
I believe. Team Aunt Mary all day! Kendu looked shady to me from Day 1.
She should pay him no matter what cause the desolve of the marriage. Mary J Blige let him manage her career hence he never had another job to making a living from. Pluse he clean her up some of her sink attitude. Even encouraged her to back to school. Pluse give her some good penis. Don’t cry flow when you signed up for this. You Mary wanted the husband and family image
I agreed with you
Frfr I mean I like Mary but she owe that man
Wait, isn’t managing someone’s career “a career” a job, a source of income. Wasn’t he getting a percentage of deals “income” it shouldn’t be her fault he was band at his job and can’t get another client
Praying for the entire family. Be strong, sistah!
He and Sherry Shephard’s ex-husband graduated from the same school. I bet some of that business expense was spent on another chick.
?????
it wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn’t asking her to financially support his kids that aren’t hers, don’t live with them, and have a mother like why is she paying YOUR child support to YOUR kids???!!! that’s what started the further investigation into his intentions
Don’t forget Tasha Scott’s ex husband.
Resale value
Tax fraud
Mary gurl, i tried to tell ya…when you were praising that n i g g a for how he helped you I could smell the thirsty on his ass right then.
You must be nuts..the aggregate of what you claim is worth $100,000 tops.
But Sherri Sheppard is a shrew, Mary is not.
Todd didn’t have a real career of any importance. Just a step above gofer
It only happens when the spouse has no talent and can’t make an independent dime….stedman you here boy?
True Anita had to pay Walter too
Point
??
Curious to know what Attractive her to this ugly negroe
No shade, this is what we need…. A bitter divorce… I miss the old bitter Mary who screamed from her heart.
But why did she settle for him?
She stopped speaking to her own family. She was tight with her sister and pretty much disowned her after she got with Kendu. Something always looked shady about him, hopes she patches it back up with her sis now.
Damn this low down broke loser wanted her to pay 130k a month including buying his groceries, now he done high jacked her Grammy too? Poor Mary, she always gets into relationships with these bad men.
Kendog lucky she didn’t leave his broke arse the C-Class! He’s not worth anything more than the first 3 letters of the alphabet…
My man has a third nipple , it’s his birthmark. I had to Google it because I never heard about it, and sure enough I think Mark walberg is 1 of the celebs that has that if I remember correctly.
Women listen when i say this, do not make your dick manager unless he has his own money before and you sign contracts. She is a big dummy….. Should have been with someone with more money and class.
most real managers have more than one meal ticket i mean client…..
yup. sipping tea.
not true he had his own business filming real housewives franchises. she made him quit.
Especially those who didn’t come to the table, with the most sincere intentions anyway. Then they turn around (after already ståbbing you in the back) and try to do even MORE underhanded stuff. All this while saying it was YOU who didn’t treat THEM right. Makes you glad they revealed themselves because it’s easier to leave their deceitful, untrustworthy a??es, right where they stand. Mary should be singing ?? “good riddance.”??
oops!
And his parents don’t forget he asking for money he pay his parents for being parents I guess
Could not agree more smh!!! She stayed stayed longer than she should hoping and expecting better. Mary is in for some shyt. He is dirty as fawk i am waiting to see what happens smh!!!
I’m just mad that she is yet another broken bw dealing with a man with zero respect
Chile…
HE got paid to be her manager. Managers usually gEt 15%.
Even him having money does not cure you of him not stealing!!!
I think she shouldn’t have let this DICK in at all
?????
Who is Tasha Scott??
?????? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/777a5370f82227139cd7471e882aaac416f0ec9462cea9b453fcf66533c6b418.jpg
The NERVE of this NUcca
Walter was in investing!!!
Totally DIFFERENT scenario!!!
He made her very WEALTHY!! Anita that is.. And those things were done while they were married.. Although evil ass Anita was unwilling!!????
HOLLINN
Shoot I meant Tasha Smith.
Kendu ain’t about shyt! Bum.
He probably was talking major Shiz..to her. Thst whst they do. He could done right by her though instead of trying to grip cash during and now after. He is a grown man whatever funds he collected during his tenure as management should have been saved/invested etc…ESPECIALLY if he was going to be laying pipe elsewhere. i hope he gets ZERO. He acting like a little girl. Big Ups to Blige. I hope she hit a Tina on this buthead and run into one tgat treats her like queen. Can Do is a fraud.
Im always late reading post..Imma need Mary though, to do a Marvin gaye type move. With a “here my dear album”____ and offer him a small percentage. Im sure she can produce a sellout joint and then buthead can piss off. Plus that would be a major come back joint.
