(2002)"No More Drama" is a song by Mary J. Blige, taken from her fifth studio album No More Drama. It was released as the album's second single worldwide (third single in some European markets). The Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced track became another hit for Blige, peaking at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 9 in the UK.
The song famously samples "Nadia's Theme", currently used as the theme music for the soap opera The Young and the Restless. In the song, Blige calls herself "young and restless" in a further nod to the music sample. The video for the song won Blige her first MTV Video Music Award for Best R&B Video.

Music video
The video features cameos by Mariah Carey and P. Diddy who had both recently experienced their own very publicized 'dramas', Mariah Carey's personal and professional problems following her movie and album Glitter, and Diddy's legal troubles following a night club shooting. They appear, individually, on televisions stacked in a store front window, in front of which Mary is singing. The video contains images of a depressed man that is struggling to overcome drugs (played by actor David Venafro), a gang member who lost a friend in a shooting and a woman who is verbally and physically abused by her partner. It was directed by Sanji.
The song was used as a background theme for both Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too?.
