Mary J. Blige teams up with Lifetime for movie inspired by "Real Love"

Mary J. Blige has teamed up with Lifetime to executive produce a movie inspired by one of her most popular songs. The romantic drama will tell the story of a girl named Kendra who falls deeply for her film class partner Ben while pursuing her undergraduate career at a college in upstate New York. The couple fights through “disapproving parents, financial hardship, and competition for the top spot in class” and ultimately learns the true definition of love, hence the reason it’s been titled after Blige’s iconic hit “Real Love.” As of now, there is no release date for Blige’s Real Love. The drama, however, will feature music from the singer as part of the goal to “bring more stories to life with music as the foundation.”
