The Internet Thinks Mary J. Blige Found Herself a New Man

How (everyone thinks) Mary got her groove back.

Absolutely nothing gets past the leery digital eye of the internet.

So now that the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul Mary J. Blige and actor Jason Mitchell have been spotted together on quite a few occasions, some fans are calling on cupid in suspicion of a possible new romance.

According to Inquisitr, the R&B songstress and Mitchell, best known for his role as Eazy-E in Straight Outta Compton, met during their acting duties for the upcoming film Mudbound. Allegedly, the two had cozied up over the summer of 2016, namely at the Essence Music Festival. It would make sense that the two co-stars for the Sundance Film Festival-premiering movie might be crossing paths on a more regular basis than usual. But now that additional reports have claimed an undercover love affair may be blooming between the two amid her straining divorce, Blige has taken to Twitter to offer her two cents on the buzz.

Posting a series of now-deleted photos with her and the 30-year-old film star to Twitter, she captioned one of them, “Do you like?” And we can’t help but assume that the rumors must have tickled the “Just Fine” singer, considering that she also included in the pictures a headline from Hollywood Life that asserts she and Mitchell are officially a thing.

We wouldn’t call this an official statement slamming the rumors, but in the famous words of Ms. Mary herself: No more drama, y’all.

Check out her response to the words on the grapevine below.
