Mimi's Madonna diss
Mariah Carey recently did an interview for Spain's Shangay Express magazine. And she took a few not-too-subtle digs at the one and only Madonna. A reporter from the magazine flew to New York to interview Miz. Carey and witnessed the divaness first-hand.
First, the album listening that was scheduled for 6pm was postponed 'til 9pm. The interview, which was supposed to take place at 9pm was posted to midnight. Then after hours of waiting, at 2:30am, they cancelled the interview since Mimi was too tired.
The next day, the reporter was invited to attend an MTV TRL taping. In total, Mariah had 11 people surrounding her, consisting of bodyguards, assistants, makeup peeps, label reps and wardrobe assistants. Now that's the way to travel. Finally, the reporter gets the interview, with 3 hours left to spare before their flight departs.
When the reporter asks if Mariah's obsessed with portraying an unreal image of herself via photoshop, Mariah denies the claim stating that everyone uses photoshop in the business. Everyone. When asked about Madonna (how dare that reporter mention that name infront of Mimi) and how she feels about her Madgesty recording an R&B album, Mariah responds that it's "interesting". Then pauses, and continues, "It's very interesting."
When the reporter mentions that Madonna worked with Pharrell (who also worked with Mimi), she asks if Mariah gave her some indirect inspiration. Carey responds, "I don't know, I don't have any idea about her intentions. I'll just say that it's very interesting."
When questioned about creating her own clothing line, Mimi responds, "I'm working on my own collection of lingerie, darling. Why shouldn't I dedicate myself to under garments?" And when asked if her "diva demands" get worse over time, she responds, "What is over time? What is a diva? I know a lot about divas because it's a word I've heard ever since I was a little girl, because my mom is an opera singer. Diva demands? I don't think I have any. I'm a person who can take care of myself, you believe me, right?" Riiiiiiiiiight. You be starting a girlfight, Mimi! (Fashion.ie)
