Judge Keeps Case in Civil Court
Mary J. Blige’s attempt to transfer the $5 million lawsuit filed by her former stylist and friend Misa Hylton into the specialized Commercial Division was rejected by a judge. The court ruled that the case, centered on artist management and contracts, belongs in standard civil court, not a business-focused venue. (AllHipHop.com / AllHipHop)
What the Lawsuit Says & Blige’s Defense
The lawsuit alleges that Blige’s label forced rapper Vado to break ties with Hylton’s M.I.S.A. Management in favor of signing with Beautiful Life Productions, Blige’s company. Hylton is seeking damages and an injunction to prevent future interference. (AllHipHop.com)
Blige’s legal team criticized the case as “patently frivolous,” questioned the legitimacy of Hylton’s business entity, and is pushing for the case’s dismissal—and even sanctions against Hylton’s counsel. (The Source)
What’s Next
The litigation remains active in civil court. Blige’s team continues to seek dismissal, while Hylton stands firm on her claims. The case is poised for further developments as proceedings continue.
