We all know Mary J. Blige preaches no more drama…
But girlfriend can't seem to get it out of her life!
Mary J. is being sued for allegedly bailing on a Dallas concert last December.
In the lawsuit filed by Vision Entertainment Worldwide, the promotional company is claiming the singer agreed to perform, but cancelled days before to appear at Brooklyn's Barclays Center with Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones.
The best part?!
Apparently,
Whoa!
While it was first reported that Mary J. Blige owed a heaping $900,000 to the New Jersey state in taxes, we've come to learn that she actually owes an INSANE $3,426,255.43 in total between NJ and federal taxes!!!!!!
Believe it!
The Grammy winner ignored bills from the IRS in 2009 for $574,907.30, 2010 for $2,203,743.53, and 2011 for $647,604.60 AS WELL AS the initial $901,769.65 she needs to cough up to the Garden State.
Let us also not forget that she defaulted on a $2.2 million bank loan and the charity that is suing her for never paying back a $250,000 loan.
OUCH!
We'd advise her to break out that check book and fast, but something tells us not even an uber-successful songstress like Mary has that kind of cash!
Looks like Lauryn Hill could very well be getting a musically-inclined cell mate!
On the bright side, wouldn't they would make a GREAT singing duo??
Ruh-roh!
The tax man has cometh, and Mary J. Blige was unprepared!
The unofficial Queen of R&B was SHOCKED when the state of New Jersey recently hit her with a tax lien for $901,769.65!
Whoa!! We don't care how fancy a couch you own, that kind of change doesn't hide out underneath cushions!!
Worse yet, this ruling comes only a few months after the ah-mazing artist was targeted in a lawsuit after allegedly defaulting on a bank loan of over $2 mil!!!
Yikes! The I'm Going Down singer might be doing just that if she doesn't scrounge up piles of cash soon!
Good luck, Mary J.!! We're pulling for you!

Ahh, her beauty is timeless!
As the gloriously glamourous Mary J. Blige graces the cover of VIBE for an ah-mazing 10th time, we find ourselves shocked by how much soul music evolved since the 42-year-old first bust out on the scene.
Mary J., for her part, is thrilled with the new landscape — her heart SWELLS with pride as she claims Rihanna is the new face of music!
In the magazine interview, the Queen of R&B revealed this about the Stay singer

Whitney Houston's death will always be sad, but if Whitney could know it, we'd hope it'd bring her peace to know that her death may have saved a life.
Mary J. Blige turned to religion to help her with her drinking problem after Whitney's death.
She said:
Miley Cyrus is getting ready to unleash some new music on the world — and she’s getting by with the help of some celeb friends!
Her upcoming album is set for release sometime this year and will be her first album released since Can’t Be Tamed in 2010!
Mz. Cyrus also recently announced she signed with RCA Records and will also be teaming up with Dr. Luke, who produced her single, Party In The U.S.A.!
While it still has yet to be titled, she’s also working with Pharrell, Hit-Boy and Da Internz, as well as collaborating with Tyler, the Creator!
Miley revealed:
First comes love, then comes …a new record deal?!
Miley Cyrus couldn't be tamed by longtime label Hollywood Records, so she has now signed with RCA with the promise of allowing her to spread her MileyBird wings!!!
The former Disney Channel star will be joining the likes of Pink, Kelly Clarkson, and Chris Brown on the label, so we'd say her career is in some pretty talented and trustworthy hands.
Under the direction of RCA, the former Disney Channel star's next album will feature a slew of star-studded collaborators including Pharrell Williams, Hit-Boy, Da Internz, Mary J. Blige and Tyler, the Creator.
We can't wait, y'all!!!
