By now you have no doubt heard about the commercial Mary J. Blige shot for Burger King that has since been pulled by the fast food chain over licensing issues. Well, just because the advertisement's gone (for now) doesn't mean that the story's over.

According to TMZ, the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul has come forward to reveal that she didn't sign off on the version of the commercial we all saw that drew loads of criticism. She says the portion with her singing about the fried chicken wrap was meant to be part of a dream sequence. Here's what she told TMZ:

None

A finished and, more importantly, approved version of the ad is still scheduled to air.
