“I’m still standing,” Blige told her longtime friend Angie Martinez during their recent interview. “I’m good. I have to be good. I don’t have a choice because it’s always bad and it’s always dark. I got to stay in the light and I got to take care of myself and keeping loving myself regardless of who ain’t loving me no more.”
