Mary J.’s Husband Kendu Says He Was Hospitalized As A Result Of Their Pending Divorce
Posted On : January 3, 2018
There’s no doubt that divorcing a spouse can take a toll on anyone and when there are millions of dollars up for grabs, with no true prenup,’ that toll can be that much greater. As is the case for Mary J. Blige and her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Kendu Isaacs. One one side, we have Mary, who risks losing millions in order to pay Kendu spousal support. On the flip side we have Kendu, who risks barely getting a dime and losing the lavish lifestyle he once lived for years with Mary. I’m assuming both sides of the coin can be a bit stressful when the outcome of their divorce is pending.

According to new court filings the stress is apparently so overwhelming, that Kendu has been admitted to the hospital over it. Thankfully, he’s no longer in the hospital, but TheBlast reports that he did make sure to point that out to the judge:
According to court docs obtained by The Blast, Martin “Kendu” Isaacs, who has been battling with the singer over spousal support, claims the ordeal has taken its toll on his health. He says in the docs, “[Isaacs] has experienced physical manifestations of stress and emotional distress from this matter, which has caused him to become hospitalized.”

Isaacs reiterated his financial hardships without Blige’s support, saying he is “unemployable,” paying his rent has become “impossible,” and without Blige he would be “destitute.”
It wasn’t clear what exactly Kendu’s purpose was for letting the court know about his health condition. However, he did ‘reiterate’ the financial problems he was having, now that he and Mary aren’t together. So one can only assume that Kendu’s looking to ultimately get his temporary spousal support bumped from the $30K monthly he’s currently getting from Mary, up to that $65K monthly he’s reportedly requested.
FYI: This latest report, comes after Kendu was filmed getting his gamble on by Love & Hip Hop star, Zell, in late December 2017. At that time, many of Mary’s fans were hella heated, accusing Kendu of gambling away Mary’s money, after claiming he was broke. So far there has been no confirmation on whether, or not, that accusation was true.
Mary J. and Kendu will be headed to trial in March 2018, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see how this one plays out.
We salute the incredible people and beautiful memories of that "old school". We’re not saying that every artist and every facet of the soul era was perfect, but the artists’ contributions to soul music and the old school memories of that particular time are PRICELESS.
