What We Know About Briana Latrise‘s Early Years

Briana Latrise who was born with very conspicuous facial freckles that she never attempts to conceal was welcomed to the world on August 3, 1986, in New York. She is the child of producer and recording executive, Kendu Isaacs. Kendu had Briana with his teenage girlfriend whose identity is not known. Being the only child of her parents, Briana has no biological sibling. She, however, has two stepbrothers; Nas and Jordan from her dad’s previous marriage.

In regards to her educational qualifications, it is not clear where Briana attended school or what level of education she acquired. It is, however, safe to assume that the reality star is properly educated considering how shrewd she sounds while expressing herself during interviews.

How She is Related to Mary J. Blige

Briana Latrise’s mum and dad were never married. Worse still, her relationship with them has been nothing to write home about. Unlike most celebrities who share a strong bond with their parents and are quick to say the nicest things about them any chance they get, Briana is a clear exception.

As a child, she had no relationship with her dad. She reportedly did not even have his phone number. As for her mom who raised her, Briana revealed that they scarcely agree on anything. Their constant conflict eventually landed her on the streets where she began meddling with alcoholism and drugs.

Things, however, seemed to have taken a positive turn for Briana Latrise after her dad met and married famous singer and songwriter Mary J. Blige. Kendu, who initially started out as Mary’s manager, later tied the knot with her in December 2003.

Now her stepmom, Blige treated Briana like her own child despite her indulgences, as she had been through similar woes when she was younger. Latrise lived with the duo and soon began dreaming of having a career in the entertainment industry like them. With their help, she soon landed juicy opportunities, the first being at the age of 15, when she got an internship with Apple Music executive and Interscope Records co-founder, Jimmy Iovine.

Unfortunately, things once again went sour for Briana after her dad and stepmom began having serious issues in their relationship. When her relationship with Kendu went sour, Blige cut ties with his daughter, leaving her devastated. In the same vein, Briana’s seemingly repaired relationship with her dad also fell like a pack of cards. The reality star revealed that in 2013, she hit a rough patch in life and was left stranded, pregnant, and homeless while her dad and stepmom did nothing to help her.

Kendu Isaacs and Mary J. Blige eventually divorced after the latter filed an application in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. Although Briana stood on her dad’s side during his divorce battles with Blige which came to an end in June 2018, she surprisingly referred to him as “garbage” and ” a dirtbag” in a November 2018 Instagram post. She said so because he was not showing any care towards herself and his grandson, Mercury Turner.
