What did Misa Hylton sue Mary J Blige for? Details explored amid stylist's appearance at Diddy's trial
Misa Hylton and her talent agency, M.I.S.A Management sued singer Mary J. Blige for $5 million in April 2025, claiming that Blige sabotaged her business relationship with My Bae rapper Vado.
As per Hylton's lawsuit, Mary J. Blige withheld Vado's completed album to pressurize him into cutting ties with the stylist. It is worth noting that Misa Hylton and Mary J. Blige had been long-time friends since the 1980s, wherein Hylton worked with Blige as her stylist for several years.
According to AllHipHop's report dated April 28, 2025, Vado and Misa Hylton accused Mary J. Blige and her company, Beautiful Life Productions, of obstructing a signed management deal between M.I.S.A and the rapper, which entitled the agency to 20% of Vado's earnings.
The lawsuit alleges that Blige brought Vado on private yachts, exclusive events, and luxury hotel meetings where Hylton wasn't invited so that Blige could manipulate the rapper. Moreover, the lawsuit centers two key agreements: a management deal between M.I.S.A and Vado signed on July 25, 2023, and a record deal between Vado and Blige's Big Life Productions on October 1, 2023.
Misa Hylton also accused Blige of purposefully excluding her from emails and conversations to allegedly persuade Vado to drop M.I.S.A as his management, and sign with her head of security instead. Additionally, Mary J. Blige's security chief reportedly warned Vado about losing out on opportunities.
Hylton's attorney, Nicholas Ramcharitar, made an appearance on Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM, wherein she talked about the impact of the lawsuit on the stylist's life. Nicholas mentioned that Misa Hylton was upset over the negative turn her relationship with Blige underwent.
