Mary J. Blige officially turned her hit Real Love into a full-length two-part movie, Strength of a Woman. ET confirmed the news about the upcoming movie earlier this week.

In a chat with the outlet, the hip-hop singer opened up about what made her decide to transform her biggest hit into a movie. “That’s been the strongest song in my journey. That’s what I’ve been searching for all my life, for real love and people. But then I’ve finally been working on myself and found it in myself,” she said. “And now I’m able to see that love matters and that relationship matters. Real love is important, and the strength of a woman is important; real love for myself has given me strength. So those are the inspirations.” Blige added.

According to the same source, the movie will be based on real stories and not portray an autobiography. Moreover, the film will follow the life journey of Kendra and will be split into two parts.

The movie took inspiration from the singer’s 1992 hit – Real Love. The singer opened up to ET about the song’s success and how it impacted her singing career.

“I just remember having to sing for my life. I remember how hard it was, I was straight out of projects and I already had two songs [out, so] I was kind of hood famous, but I was still living in the projects. And then, when “Real Love” exploded, I was still in a place where I couldn’t receive my success. I was scared of success, and I hated myself. It was a lot [of] bad s**t going on and so, I didn’t know.” she said.
