Blige, who wore an electric blue jumper with a black belt for her concert, is set to lose millions on the sale of her New Jersey home, according to Variety.

The palatial home she bought in Saddle River back in 2008 cost her a whopping $12.3 million. The trade reports that she has put it up for sale for just under $7 million.

‘Even if Blige manages to land a full-price buyer, she’s still faced with a pocketbook-punishing loss of more than $5.3 million, not including carrying costs, improvement expenses and real estate fees,’ the report reads.

She continued, ‘I’m not happy about a lot of things. I thought someone loved me, right? Turns out, he was a con artist and he didn’t, and now he’s coming after me for all my money. 

‘When you come out of something like that, you realize you were never the one. There was someone else that was his queen. I got played. I got suckered. 

‘I have to keep smiling and keep my spirits up because this is designed to kill me.’

What a steal: The home is priced to sell which will be important since she's going to court to battle her ex in March
