When Mary J. Blige sat down with Tamron Hall last week, she gave us more than updates on her career, fashion, and upcoming tour. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul gave us life.

While discussing her 2025 tour—which she described as “a love letter to fans”—and her new album soaring to the top of the charts, the most powerful moments came from her words of wisdom. Sis was dropping gems we can’t afford to forget. 

Thanks to Mary, we’re all taking notes. 

Mary J. Blige drops gems on the ‘Tamron Hall Show.’

If you’ve ever felt stuck, undervalued, or like life was throwing all the shade your way, Mary’s words were everything. By opening up about her triumphs, she gave us inspiration for our own. 

Vulnerable and honest, her advice spoke to the shared experiences we, as Black women, have while navigating careers, relationships, and life’s random ups and downs. 

So, save these three quotes from Mary’s interview with Tamron for the next time life starts “lifing.” 

“By any means necessary because I gotta make it, you know.”

Mary told Tamron this is what she says to hype herself up in moments of shyness, and it’s so real. Her quote is a rallying cry for female ambition—for the budding fempreneurs, girl bosses, and everyone in between. 

Even as a global icon, Mary reminds us that the pressure to chase dreams never fades. It can be an intimidating grind that never stops, but the journey is worth it in the end. Her words inspire us to stay hungry and determined, no matter what comes our way. 

“Well, you know, I say this, I say this with not cockiness but with confidence. I’m getting the things I deserve because I know I deserve it.”

Let’s face it—sometimes, we hesitate to claim what’s rightfully ours. But Mary’s unapologetic acceptance of everything she deserves in response to Tamron’s comments about her recent accolades is something to admire. 

How many times have we downplayed our wins or hesitated to ask for what we really want? Mary’s here to remind us: We deserve everything we work for – and more.

“We have to always fight for the better, the better of us, the good in us, because the ugly is there. But we have to avoid that because we’ve come so far…the good side does win.”

This gem is a testament to the resilience of Black women, our culture, and communities. Speaking to Tamron about the love and support she’s received over the years, Mary highlighted how positivity and collective responsibility have brought her so far. 

Struggles will always be there, but we must rise above them and be our best selves. Whether dealing with personal challenges, workplace hurdles, or relationship hiccups, this quote is the encouragement we didn’t know we needed. We have to believe that the good side will always win. 

These quotes prove that Mary is more than just the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.  She is a cultural icon. The “Good Morning Gorgeous” singer doesn’t just give us music to vibe to; she gives us life lessons to live by.
