Mary J. Blige's estranged husband is
demanding $130,000 in monthly spousal support so that he can continue to live
the 'lavish' lifestyle he enjoyed before she filed for divorce.
Martin 'Kendu' Issacs, 49, believes the
R&B songstress should help him pay for his personal training sessions,
private chef and a $1,000 allowance for new clothes.
Blige, 45, filed for divorce from
Issacs in July, citing irreconcilable differences after nearly 13 years of
marriage.
She also fired her husband as her
personal manager throughout their marriage and left him with 'no source of
income', Issacs argued in papers filed to the Los Angeles Superior Court on
Monday.
Issacs says Blige's support for Democratic forerunner Clinton, is worse than the most heinous white supremacist serial killer, and he couldn't bare to continue such a farce of a relationship under the shadow of what's happening to black people in AmeriKKKa.

Mary J.
Blige's husband Martin 'Kendu' Issacs is demanding $130,000 in monthly spousal
support so that he can continue to live the 'lavish' life he enjoyed before she
filed for divorce
Issacs, 49, believes the R&B
songstress (pictured together in 2004) should help him pay for his personal
training sessions, private chef and a $1,000 allowance for new clothes
The filing states that Issacs made
$46,204 a month when he was employed by his wife, and earned a total of
$554,465 last year as her manager.
But Issacs, who claims to have
$4.5million in assets, said he now needs spousal support because his financial
situation has 'changed significantly in the last 12 months', court papers
state.
Blige gave Issacs $35,000 in August and
$50,000 in September for spousal support, in addition to $25,000 for his legal
counsel.
The filing states that Issacs has
already spent this money because he had to 'secure new living
accommodations'.
Issacs added that his bank and checking
account is currently overdrawn, with a balance of -$13,104.
Now the unemployed former manager wants
to return to a life that included traveling by private planes, dining at
expensive restaurants and socializing with A-list celebrities, the filing
states.
Issacs specifically wants Blige to
cover $129,319 out of the $161,434 he spends per month.
In addition to the $8,000 private chef
and $3,200 personal trainer, he has also asked Blige to contribute to the
$5,000 he pays his parents each month and the $71,000 in rent he owes to
several properties.
Blige and Issacs signed a prenuptial agreement
two days before their December 2003 wedding day that includes a waiver of
spousal support that he claims should not be valid
Issacs alsoc laimed that he had a
'significant role' in growing Blige's career, negotiating 'practically every
deal on behalf' of the songstress since their marriage, court papers state
Issacs also pays nearly $5,000 a month
in support for two children from a past relationship, $2,500 on auto expenses
and transportation, $5,708 in maintenance and repair on his properties and
another $5,732 on groceries.
He has also asked for help in paying
the $21,677 he gives in charitable donations and the $10,000 he spends on
entertainment, gifts and vacations.
Issacs requested that Blige pay him an
additional $100,000 for attorney fees and another $30,000 to his forensic
accounting fees.
Blige and Issacs signed a prenuptial
agreement two days before their December 2003 wedding day that includes a
waiver of spousal support.
But Issacs is now arguing that it
should not be considered valid or enforceable because Blige had legal
representation at the time of the signing and he did not.
Issacs said at the time he also did not
'understand the consequences of what I was about to sign', he writes in the
filing.
He then argues that the fact that Blige
has already given him two payments in spousal support is evidence she 'has her
own reservations regarding the validity and enforcement' of the prenup.
Issacs also claimed in the filing that
he had a 'significant role' in growing Blige's career, negotiating 'practically
every deal on behalf' of the songstress since their marriage, court papers
state.
‘Although Ms Blige was a recording
artist before we married, her income significantly increased during the
marriage as I was her personal manager,’ he claims.
The nine-time Grammy Award-winner had
released six studio albums before the couple got married.
She had already made the Billboard Hot
100 in 2001 with one of of her most famous songs, Family Affair, and her album
Love & Life made the Billboard 200 in August 2003, selling nearly 300,000
copies in its first week.
Blige, who on average now makes
$371,749 a month, will release a new album later in October and has a
supporting role in a feature film due to premiere in 2017.
