Her early musical influences included singing in a Pentecostal church and listening to her mother’s collection of soul records. When a recording of the 17-year-old Blige singing Anita Baker’s “Caught Up in the Rapture” (made in a karaoke booth in a local shopping mall) came to the attention of Uptown Records in 1988, the rhythm-and-blues label put Blige, who had dropped out of high school, under contract. She sang backup for various artists until the 1992 release of her first solo album, What’s the 411?, produced primarily by rapper Sean (“Puffy”) Combs (Diddy). That album revealed the pain of Blige’s childhood while presenting a unique sound that mixed classic soul with hip-hop and urban contemporary rhythm and blues, redefining soul music and influencing a generation of artists. Her success continued with the introspective My Life (1994); a documentary centring on the album appeared in 2021.

At the end of last season, Monet successfully plotted to kill Mecca but also ended up losing Zeke. In this third season, she is stuck in the grief of losing her child and is seeking revenge.
“I'm definitely coming from a real place,” she says about channeling both Monet’s grief and thirst for revenge. “I always say, if you haven’t experienced it, I would never wish divorce on my worst enemy, because it's definitely like death; it’s definitely grief. And then, as a woman being hit with all that alimony, it was very upsetting, and I wanted revenge.”

These emotions of where she once was, says Mary, allowed her to give Monet “this heaviness” because “she lost Zeke, and she lost her exit strategy. She lost two things: she lost money and she lost her kid [and] I lost a big part of my life, and I lost a lot of money so I could give that [feeling] to her.”
Monet’s relationship with her daughter Diana after the loss of Zeke is “not good because Diana is the reason why Zeke is dead, and everything is the way it is. She blew up the spot with the birth certificate and Mecca. She told everything so Monet’s not feeling her,” Mary explains. “She’s not really feeling that husband either because he has her back in the position she was trying to get out of.”
What Mary is feeling, however, is an appreciation for being on this Ghost journey with longtime friend Method Man, who plays shady lawyer Davis Maclean representing Monet, Tariq and others. “When we yell ‘cut,’ it’s fun, it’s laughter, it’s jokes,” Mary shares. “He’s just a great person, a beautiful person. When we do our scenes, it’s fun because he’s just an amazing actor and I learn a lot of things just watching him.”
