Mariah Carey hits out at Sony
Superstar Mariah Carey has slammed her former record label Sony for refusing to release her Snoop Dogg collaboration as a single. The singer, 35, duetted with the rapper on the track Cry Baby from her 2000 album Rainbow and was upset when record label bosses decided to keep it as an album track only.
Carey, whose ex-husband is Sony music mogul Tommy Mottola, says, "(The Emancipation Of Mimi) is the third time I've worked with Snoop. I did Cry Baby with him, but Sony didn't want to release it as a single because, well... I don't know why - some stupid reason. They were always against the whole rap thing. Snoop loves my old records. He was really cool the first time we met - he was going on about how much he loved my song Vision Of Love. He had the single when he was in jail."
Meanwhile the superstar has urged the British government to ban smoking - so she can party in London without fear of ruining her amazing voice. The singer, 35, admits she usually has a low-key social life when she visits the British capital because the bars and clubs in the city are so smoky.
Carey says, "I'll go to a club (in Britain), but you guys smoke so friggin' much, I can't sing for ages after. If everyone in England stops smoking cigarettes then I'll come and party with you." (FemaleFirst)
