- Blige filed for divorce from Martin Issacs in July after 13 years of marriage
- She also fired Issacs as her personal manager and left him with 'no source of income' and a 'bleak financial situation', he argues
- Issacs also wants Blige to contribute to the $5,000 he pays in child support to two kids from a past relationship and $70,000 in rent
- Blige already gave Issacs $35,000 in August and $50,000 in September for spousal support, in addition to $25,000 for his legal counsel
- But Issacs said he spent it all to secure new living accommodations
- He is also arguing that the couple's prenup is not valid because he didn't have a lawyer present when they signed it

Mary J. Blige's estranged husband is demanding $130,000 in monthly spousal support so that he can continue to live the 'lavish' lifestyle he enjoyed before she filed for divorce. Martin 'Kendu' Issacs, 49, believes the R&B songstress should help him pay for his personal training sessions, private chef and a $1,000 allowance for new clothes. Blige, 45, filed for divorce from Issacs in July, citing irreconcilable differences after nearly 13 years of marriage. She also fired her husband as her personal manager throughout their marriage and left him with 'no source of income', Issacs argued in papers filed to the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday.
Mary J. Blige's husband Martin 'Kendu' Issacs is demanding $130,000 in monthly spousal support so that he can continue to live the 'lavish' life he enjoyed before she filed for divorce
ssacs, 49, believes the R&B songstress (pictured together in 2004) should help him pay for his personal training sessions, private chef and a $1,000 allowance for new clothes
The filing states that Issacs made $46,204 a month when he was employed by his wife, and earned a total of $554,465 last year as her manager. But Issacs, who claims to have $4.5million in assets, said he now needs spousal support because his financial situation has 'changed significantly in the last 12 months', court papers state. Blige gave Issacs $35,000 in August and $50,000 in September for spousal support, in addition to $25,000 for his legal counsel. The filing states that Issacs has already spent this money because he had to 'secure new living accommodations'. Issacs added that his bank and checking account is currently overdrawn, with a balance of -$13,104.[ Now the unemployed former manager wants to return to a life that included traveling by private planes, dining at expensive restaurants and socializing with A-list celebrities, the filing states. Issacs specifically wants Blige to cover $129,319 out of the $161,434 he spends per month. In addition to the $8,000 private chef and $3,200 personal trainer, he has also asked Blige to contribute to the $5,000 he pays his parents each month and the $71,000 in rent he owes to several properties.
Blige and Issacs signed a prenuptial agreement two days before their December 2003 wedding day that includes a waiver of spousal support that he claims should not be valid
Issacs alsoc laimed that he had a 'significant role' in growing Blige's career, negotiating 'practically every deal on behalf' of the songstress since their marriage, court papers state. Issacs also pays nearly $5,000 a month in support for two children from a past relationship, $2,500 on auto expenses and transportation, $5,708 in maintenance and repair on his properties and another $5,732 on groceries. He has also asked for help in paying the $21,677 he gives in charitable donations and the $10,000 he spends on entertainment, gifts and vacations. Issacs requested that Blige pay him an additional $100,000 for attorney fees and another $30,000 to his forensic accounting fees. Blige and Issacs signed a prenuptial agreement two days before their December 2003 wedding day that includes a waiver of spousal support. But Issacs is now arguing that it should not be considered valid or enforceable because Blige had legal representation at the time of the signing and he did not. Issacs said at the time he also did not 'understand the consequences of what I was about to sign', he writes in the filing. He then argues that the fact that Blige has already given him two payments in spousal support is evidence she 'has her own reservations regarding the validity and enforcement' of the prenup.
The nine-time Grammy Award-winner had released six studio albums before the couple got married, with both singles and albums reaching the top spots on Billboard
Issacs also claimed in the filing that he had a 'significant role' in growing Blige's career, negotiating 'practically every deal on behalf' of the songstress since their marriage, court papers state. ‘Although Ms Blige was a recording artist before we married, her income significantly increased during the marriage as I was her personal manager,’ he claims. The nine-time Grammy Award-winner had released six studio albums before the couple got married.
She had already made the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001 with one of of her most famous songs, Family Affair, and her album Love & Life made the Billboard 200 in August 2003, selling nearly 300,000 copies in its first week. Blige, who on average now makes $371,749 a month, will release a new album later in October and has a supporting role in a feature film due to premiere in 2017. The singer has yet to respond to her estranged husband's support demands.

LOL, $3200 for the gym. The only thing potna looks like he's lifting is a blunt to his mouth. I'm sorry, but dude looks like a (damn I hate to say the word,) a ? ? . Then again MJB does have a track record of ? with ? ? . (Shout out to K-Ci,) Dude is so scandalous in the game that he actually has the nerve to ask for 5 racks to give to HIS MAMA AND DADDY! and 10 racks to trick off on the next ? . Also, I need somebody to explain to how it's possible to spend damn near 6 racks a month making groceries. Dude needs to be ashamed of himself. This is also a perfect example why you don't have your spouse involved in your business affairs.

Actually that's an affirmative defense, in addition to the signing the pre-nup two days before the marriage. -
WHY does it seem that Mary j blige has been getting taken advantage of her whole life???
-
I understand that this ? is playing the game......
Just couldn't be me with the ? he is asking for and his reasons for asking for it. -
Smh.
This goes for any man and woman. You sign a prenup, you outta luck if s*** goes south.
-

Because all she's ever wanted was someone to love her and fix her. She's easy pickings because she hasn't taken the time to truly love herself. Just my humble opinion.
-
He could still have all this and his wife, but he decided to risk it all.
-

Because at the end of the day MJB is a basic ratchet chick from Schlobohm Houses in Yonkers, who just so happened was blessed a hella of voice and fortunately, (for her sake,) she hooked up with Puffy. If that didn't happen she probably would have caught a ? habit in the 90's, had three or four babies' daddies who was kickin' her ass and gettin' high with her, she'd be 60 to 70 lbs overweight, been in "recovery," for 18 months and looking to move to PA, VA, or the Carolinas because it's "cheap," and you get a lot of land with your house. -
We're going to get some great music out of this.

He got some nerve
-
This is ? stupid, dumb, and ridiculous; and I hope he gets every cent of it just to show people how dumb divorce/family court is. Remember that oil dudes divorce?
Nobody batted an eye at that... play the game how it go..... Tell her to cut the check.. and don't hate the player..... -

Ummm, not so. There's more to the pre-nup than just signing the muthafucka. Marriage is a very unique business contract unto itself. As already stated the document is void if an family attorney doesn't look it over. Also, the attorney has to be comparable to the one that's drawing up the document. In other words if you're spending 2 racks to draw up the document, you have find a lawyer of equal skill (and pay) to make the sure the document is fair. So no going to the pro bono legal aid family attorney to have him co-sign the ? .
You also can't just spring the ? up on a muthafucka. You can't get to like within two months or less talm 'bout, "Hey Boo Boo. I need you to sign this pre-nup." If she signs and the ? breaks bad, ole girl can say she signed the ? under duress and no contract is signed under duress is valid.
Then there's the "equal distribution of martial property," or the cash out. Say you're already established, the pre-nup is designed to protect the assets you already have, not the ones acquired during the marriage. In the pre-nup there's has to be on how you're going to divide that ? up. Which is why I don't understand why rich muthafuckas feel the need to get married knowing how ? up this business arrangement is. -
Well it's time to pay up

There were quite a few that batted an eye at that.. However, they were married for 26 years. She helped in cultivating the 18 billion the Hamm's company was valued at. Plus, there was no prenuptial. So, 1 billion out of the 18, no prenuptial, and the ex wife can prove that she assisted in the growth of the company as an executive way before they got married... She got her severance package.
