Blige: Diddy tried to clone me
R&B star MARY J BLIGE was horrified when her producer SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS tried to mould FAITH EVANS into her clone.
Blige was shocked when Combs marketed Evans as a copy of the NO MORE DRAMA hitmaker, when the latter released her debut album FAITH in 1995 – three years after Blige’s debut album THE 411.
Blige says, “You know Puff (Diddy) was trying to put out a whole ‘nother version of me which was Faith. I’ve been going through this for years.
“And I look at it and I’m like, ‘If there wasn’t a chick every year coming out trying to be me, they probably would have forgot about me by now.’ So I have to appreciate that.
“At one time, I was like, ‘What the f**k?’ But I would never say anything about it.”
