Mary J. Blige Doesn’t Want To Be Called ‘Auntie’
Mary J. Blige doesn’t want to be called “auntie.” The singer and actress recently did an interview promoting her new STARZ TV show Power Book II, a spin-off the television network’s hit show Power, and she was asked, “How do you feel about your fans calling you ‘Auntie Mary’?”
The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul would much rather be called someone’s “sister.” “How about this. It’s like you pulled that right out of my head. I was literally thinking why can’t I just be your sister. There are women that are way older than me calling me auntie, and I’m just like, ‘Come on B,'” Blige explained.
“Come on. Can I just be your sister? Your friend in your head?” “The auntie is like, ‘Come on.’ And not a good 10 years older than me. Please, don’t call me auntie,” she concluded.
