Misa Hylton, a celebrity stylist and designer for several stars, launched a lawsuit against one of her former clients in Mary J. Blige. Misa Hylton’s complaint alleges that the R&B singer botched a management deal for Harlem rapper Vado, and she’s suing Mary J. Blige for $5 million.
All Hip Hop got the exclusive scoop on Misa Hylton’s and her talent agency, M.I.S.A. Management’s lawsuit against Mary J. Blige. Hylton is accusing Blige of keeping Vado’s completed album from being released in a bid to get him to cut business relations with Hylton. Blige and Vado worked together on the non-album single, “Still Believe In Love,” in 2023.
Along with Blige, the singer’s Beautiful Life Productions is also named in the suit, with the complaint documents stating that Hylton’s company is entitled to 20 percent of Vado’s earnings. The suit also adds that Blige attempted to lure Vado away from Hylton in an attempt to break his deal with her.
The suit also names Blige’s chief of security in the suit, claiming that he wanted to sign Vado to a contract while also steering him away from Hylton’s team. That same security chief is said to be Blige’s romantic partner.
