Mary, like most great artists, has been through the mill of life. Her childhood did not come on a silver platter, and she recently shared what she went through as a child.

Blige struggled as a child to live a happy and healthy life on the streets of Yonkers before becoming an award-winning musician. What made it difficult was the environment, Blige explained in her brief interview.

How did Mary get that slash on her face?

It was a lot of people in pain, trying to survive in a terrible environment. That’s all I have to say. Everyone did what they needed to do in order to survive.

The difficulties in Mary J. Blige’s life began at a young age. Thomas Blige, Blige’s father, abandoned the family when she was four years old. Throughout her childhood, Blige struggled to cope with her mother’s alcoholism and her father’s consistent abuse of her mother.

Many of her face fans are intrigued by the mystery surrounding the cut on her face. Mary has always been vague about her scar and has said she would never reveal how she got it, but she did reveal it in a magazine article a long time ago.

She claimed she got that cut during a heated fight with one of her neighborhood kids.
