Mary J. Blige is famous for her autobiographical lyrics and personal storytelling through songs. In recent years, she’s branched out into acting in movies and television, according to her website. But before “Family Affair,” she didn’t consider herself to be a star, she told Backstage OL.
“I was on tour and the bus driver was a white boy who was listening to his country music radio station,” Blige said in the interview. “I’m sitting at the front of the bus and ‘Family Affair’ came on the country station. I got really nervous and said, ‘Something different happened, why is my song on the country station?’ ‘That’s when I realized that I was huge, because country is a big deal.”
Blige and Dr. Dre are now coming together to perform at the Super Bowl in what is being billed as “the biggest halftime show ever,” according to Nylon.
