Customers were willing to pay well over $1,000 for Mary J. Bligeās long-awaited line of boots.
The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul partnered with designer Giuseppe Zanotti to release āThe Mary Boot,ā which sold out in 24 hours. The sellout was notable since some fans initially complained about theĀ price tag. The boots were sold for $1,295 on the Giuseppe Zanotti website.
Bligeās Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit was held in New York on May 10-12. 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Lola Brooke, Jadakiss, Jill Scott appeared at the event. Just a few weeks before the festival, Blige learned she would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Her fellow 2024 inductees include A Tribe Called Quest, Cher, Ozzy Osbourne, Kool & The Gang, Peter Frampton, Foreigner and the Dave Matthews Band.
