Mary J. Blige’s attempt to transfer a $5 million lawsuit filed by Misa Hylton to a New York court that handles complex business disputes failed as a judge ruled the case didn’t meet the requirements for the specialized venue.

Blige’s legal team argued the case, centered on allegations that she interfered with Hylton’s management deal involving rapper Vado, was too intricate for standard civil court.

However, Judge Suzanne J. Adams rejected the motion, stating that the claims were tied to entertainment and artist management agreements, not the type of commercial dealings the court’s Commercial Division was designed to handle.

In her ruling, Adams wrote that “the complexity of the case, the choice of law issues, and the amount in controversy do not warrant transfer to the Commercial Division.”

The case is ongoing.
