Mary J. Blige is opening up about one of the most talked-about moments of her career—and she says it still hurts years later.
During a recent interview with Scott Evans on his House Guest podcast, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul was asked whether she can now laugh about her infamous Burger King chicken wrap commercial. Mary J. Blige had a straightforward answer: no.
She feels like the commercial was set up in a way that humiliated her and made her the punchline. While many people online joked about the ad for years, her true fans never found it funny and she was deeply affected.
Mary J. Blige admitted that the situation became a learning experience for her, but she made it clear that even after all this time, she still does not look back on it as something funny.
The commercial became a viral topic when it aired because of its unusual style and the way she sang about chicken wraps, leading to backlash and countless jokes online.
Even though she has moved forward in her career, it is clear the moment still weighs on her.
