Taraji is single as a pringle and joked with Yung Miami and Mary J. Blige about flying solo these days.

The Wine Down with Mary J. Blige is already creating a buzz online as clips of her conversation with Yung Miami and Taraji P. Henson gain attention. The Queen of Hip Hop-Soul recently announced her new talk show, and she's kicking things off with a bang. Throughout her career, Blige has used music to express the ups and downs of life's journey. In this episode, Blige asked Henson if she had a "boo" around these days. The acclaimed actress said she was flying solo, and it was something Yung Miami couldn't believe.

"I honestly don't," said Henson of being cuffed up. Miami asked her if she likes someone or had a guy she simply has lunch with. Henson joked, "Where is he?" before suggesting that the love of her life may not be in America. "I keep saying that because all the men have been ran through." It's a sentiment that the City Girls rapper agreed with as she replied, "Mmhmm, that's true." Even Blige chimed in with, "Straight up and down. There's a shortage." Then, Yung Miami asked the singer if she was testing out the dating pool.

"Hell nah!" said Blige. She added she was enjoying time dating herself. "I take myself to dinner... Anyway. That's too much information." Henson called it "powerful" to be able to be with one's self. Meanwhile, Miami may be the only one on the couch who has been booed up for some time. She and Sean "Diddy" Combs have been boasting about their unconventional relationship, and occasionally, they'll drop off a photo or two from their jet-setting adventures.

At first, people trolled Yung Miami for what looked to be her one-sided public support of Diddy. The public believed she was putting in more effort than her beau, but both hitmakers made it clear that the feelings were mutual. When the internet fires up about their relationship, it isn't uncommon for Puff to defend the Florida star.

A Mutual Relationship

In December 2022, Miami laid rumors to rest about her romance. “There are people who think that I’m like a side chick, and he can just do whatever he want,” she said with a smile. “And I’m just over here head over heels. No, it goes both ways. Ain’t nothing one-sided over here.” Check out more from Yung Miami, Taraji P. Henson, and Mary J. Blige above.
