Amid Reports of Tax Drama, Mary J. Blige Slashes Price on Jersey Mansion

Mary J. Blige has had a tough time trying to sell her mansion in Saddle River, NJ. The singer has cut the price again, this time to $6.8 million, which is about half what she was asking when she first listed the home.

The queen of hip-hop soul is now a motivated seller. Reports have emerged that the “No More Drama” singer owes $1 million in back taxes as well as other unpaid bills that she says were racked up by her estranged husband, Kendu Isaacs, whom she has called “con artist.”

Sitting on more than 4 gated, manicured acres, the stone and stucco residence resembles a French country manor. There are 18,250 square feet of living space, including large reception rooms for entertaining, a custom bar, a gourmet kitchen with double islands and custom cabinets, and an elevator.

The main house has eight bedrooms, and more than 10 bathrooms, including a jaw-dropping main bedroom suite. For entertainment, there’s a movie theater, a wine room, fitness center, and an indoor basketball court.

Outdoors, the property features a large pool, full-service cabana, and a six-car garage.

The influential diva had the mansion on the market in late 2015 for $13 million. Four years later, Blige has reduced her price by 48% in hopes of enticing a buyer.

Even though she’s reported to be in a little financial difficulty, Blige is still producing hits, including her most recent single “Know.” She’s currently on the “Royalty Tour” with the legendary rapper Nas.
