*The daughter of Kendu Isaacs broke her silence about her dad’s messy divorce from Mary J. Blige during an emotional moment on “Growing Up Hip Hop.”
Briana Latrise admits missing the singer terribly since the Queen of Hip Hop Soul split from her dad.
“Me and Mary, I thought we had, like, a real thing,” she says in a clip. “I love her, and I get it. She’s going through things, so she probably can’t talk to me right now and I respect that, but to me, it’s almost like I lost somebody.”
Speaking directly to the Blige, she added: “I haven’t heard from you since you filed for divorce. It almost makes me feel like, ‘Did I have something to do with it?’ ’cause she’s not talking to me. What did I do?”

Meanwhile, in a new interview, Blige described Kendu as a con-artist and gold digger who is trying to get as much money from her as possible.
“I am doing OK. I am living. I am not happy about a lot of things. I thought someone loved me, right? It turns out, he was a con artist, and he did not, and now he is coming after me for all my money,” she told Variety.
According to court documents, Kendu sought $100,000 a month in spousal support. So far, a judge has ordered Blige to pay $30,000.
She added: “When you come out of something like that, you realize you were never the one. There was someone else that was his queen. I got played. I got suckered. I have to keep smiling and keep my spirits up because this is designed to kill me.”
Blige said she channeled all of her emotional pain in the role of Florence Jackson in Dee Rees’ new film, “Mudbound.”
“I used a lot of my own heaviness from my own misery that I was living in that horrible marriage. I was just dying in it. I knew something was wrong. I just couldn’t prove it. I just had all the heaviness of not feeling right, not feeling good. I gave it to Florence.”
