Mary J. Blige snaps back at heckler during Las Vegas show

Mary J. Blige has lambasted a booing heckler at a concert during her My Life, My Story Las Vegas residency.

She paused in the middle of her show at Park MGM to take the offender to task.

"To the b**ch that's booing, you didn't have to come here," Blige addressed the audience member, according to a video aired by TMZ. "I hope someone sees you and politely removes you."

The R&B icon apologised to the crowd for the disruption, then continued to slam the heckler, blaming her Yonkers, New York roots for her feisty reaction.

"The f**k you spend your money for, idiot?" the Family Affair singer piled on. "I'm sorry. Sometimes I have to go in because that's where I'm from."

Blige then got back to performing, bringing out Wyclef Jean as a special guest to perform their top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit 911.

The Grammy-winning singer will finish her 2026 residency this weekend. The My Life, My Story journey will conclude in 2027 with five further dates inked in for February.

"This residency felt like divine timing," the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer shared when the sojourn was confirmed back in September. "I feel even more grateful and deeply inspired after every show. Grab your girlfriends, your boots, and I'll see you in Vegas."
