"No More Drama" is a song by Mary J. Blige, taken from her seventh 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 #15 on Billboard's Hot 100 and #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.

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 (film) and P. 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.
