EXCLUSIVE: Mary J Blige's estranged husband says the singer has turned him into a villain by opening concerts with images of his $130K a month spousal support demand to cover his private chef, personal trainer and vacations

Mary J Blige starts her concerts by displaying images of tabloid headlines covering her estranged husband's request for nearly $130,000 in spousal support in an attempt to embarrass him, her ex claims in their on-going divorce battle.

Martin 'Kendu' Isaacs, 49, believes the R&B songstress is on a 'public campaign to destroy' his reputation, as well as 'shame' and 'financially suffocate him'.

The singer 'opens her show by displaying various images of tabloids pertaining to this dissolution in an attempt to paint herself as the victim and Mr Isaacs as the villain', according to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com.

Blige, who filed for divorce in July, recently asked the court to delay a spousal support hearing to February so she and her lawyer can be in attendance. The hearing has been scheduled for December.

Isaacs claims that if the hearing isn't held in December, he will run out of money because Blige fired him from his role as personal manager, leaving him with 'no source of income'.

Blige, 45, cited irreconcilable differences when filing for divorce after nearly 13 years of marriage.

Now Isaacs claims that by displaying images relating to the requests for spousal support at her concerts, Blige is making a 'calculated attempt' to destroy her husband's reputation and capitalize on the divorce.

Isaacs' lawyers have said that they have videos of Blige's concerts to provide the court for viewing.

In recent court documents, Isaacs asked the court to not accept Blige's request to move the support hearing to February.

'If the Court were to grant such a long continuance, it would deprive Mr Isaacs of an interim financial contribution for several months, particularly during the holiday season,' court documents read.

He said that though Blige has given him advances on spousal support since August, it is not enough to cover his monthly costs.

Since August, Blige has given Isaacs a total of $135,000. In court documents, Isaacs is requesting $$129,319 per month to continue living the lavish live he lived when he was with Blige.

A previous filing states that Isaacs made $46,204 a month when he was employed by his wife, and earned a total of $554,465 last year as her manager.

But Isaacs, who claims to have $4.5 million in assets, said he now needs spousal support because his financial situation has 'changed significantly in the last 12 months', court papers state.

Blige gave Isaacs $35,000 in August and $50,000 in September for spousal support, in addition to $25,000 for his legal counsel.

The filing states that Isaacs has already spent this money because he had to 'secure new living accommodations'.

Isaacs added that his bank and checking account is currently overdrawn, with a balance of -$13,104.

Now the unemployed former manager wants to return to a life that included traveling by private planes, dining at expensive restaurants and socializing with A-list celebrities, the filing states.

Isaacs specifically wants Blige to cover $129,319 out of the $161,434 he spends per month.

In addition to the $8,000 private chef and $3,200 personal trainer, he has also asked Blige to contribute to the $5,000 he pays his parents each month and the $71,000 in rent he owes to several properties.

Isaacs also pays nearly $5,000 a month in support for two children from a past relationship, $2,500 on auto expenses and transportation, $5,708 in maintenance and repair on his properties and another $5,732 on groceries.

He has also asked for help in paying the $21,677 he gives in charitable donations and the $10,000 he spends on entertainment, gifts and vacations.

Isaacs requested that Blige pay him an additional $100,000 for attorney fees and another $30,000 to his forensic accounting fees.

Blige and Isaacs signed a prenuptial agreement two days before their December 2003 wedding day that includes a waiver of spousal support.

But Isaacs is now arguing that it should not be considered valid or enforceable because Blige had legal representation at the time of the signing and he did not.

Isaacs said at the time he also did not 'understand the consequences of what I was about to sign', he writes in the filing.

He then argues that the fact that Blige has already given him two payments in spousal support is evidence she 'has her own reservations regarding the validity and enforcement' of the prenup.

Isaacs also claimed in the filing that he had a 'significant role' in growing Blige's career, negotiating 'practically every deal on behalf' of the songstress since their marriage, court papers state.

'Although Ms Blige was a recording artist before we married, her income significantly increased during the marriage as I was her personal manager,' he claims.

The nine-time Grammy Award-winner had released six studio albums before the couple got married.

She had already made the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001 with one of of her most famous songs, Family Affair, and her album Love & Life made the Billboard 200 in August 2003, selling nearly 300,000 copies in its first week.

Blige, who on average now makes $371,749 a month, will release a new album later in October and has a supporting role in a feature film due to premiere in 2017.

The singer has yet to respond to her estranged husband's support demands.
