Mary J. Blige’s money woes continue as she is sued for $145,000 after ‘cancelling Texas concert to perform with the Rolling Stones’

g sued for allegedly cancelling a concert in Dallas, Texas, so that she could perform with the Rolling Stones in New York.

The No Drama singer and her production company are being sued by Vision Entertainment Worldwide (VEW) after she pulled-out of the gig on December 9, 2012.

The 42-year-old star was reportedly paid a deposit of $145,000 to perform but cancelled the concert a few days before it was scheduled to take place after she accepted the offer to perform with Mick Jagger and his band at the Barclays Center, reports TMZ.

VEW is seeking $145,000 in damages from the performer who has run into other money problems in recent times.

The singer was hit with a $3.4million tax bill last month after being accused of avoiding her US federal taxes for three consecutive years from 2009.

In addition to her federal taxes, Mary also reportedly owes the State of New Jersey over $900,000 in back taxes.

Mary’s money woes do not end there, as she was sued earlier this year for allegedly defaulting on a $500,000 bank loan, which she took out between 2005 and June 2012.
