Mariah Carey Thinks It Would Be ‘Cool’ To Collaborate With Olivia Rodrigo, But There Is One Thing Supposedly Holding It Up

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mariah Carey is adorably referred to as the unofficial “Queen of Christmas.” but that isn’t her only professional nickname crowning. The “Always Be My Baby” singer is also known as the “Queen of Pop.”

Instead of sitting away locked in her royal palace (or famed New York City penthouse) reflecting on her past record, Carey is actively expanding her discography with loads of collaborations. During a recent appearance on Buzzfeed‘s The Puppy Interview, Mariah Carey revealed which fellow pop acts she would love to join forces with next.

“I think it could be fun to collaborate with Olivia Rodrigo,” she said.

Over the past several years, Mariah has hit the booth for multiple tracks with Brandy, Muni Long, Ariana Grande, and even Uproxx cover star Latto. So working with Olivia Rodrigo isn’t left field for Mariah.

But the collaboration might have been encouraged by another mastermind, Mariah’s daughter. “[Monroe] is a really big fan, and we went to her concert,” she said. “That was great.”

However, as badly as fans of the two songwriters want this collaboration to happen this is one thing holding it up according to Mariah. Later in the sit-down, Mariah hinted that Olivia is currently on a work break until 2025, saying: “But I know she’s not working for the rest of the year.”

The Lambs and Livies will surely circle back to this wishlist item in the new year.

Just in time for the holiday season, Madame Tussauds New York has unveiled a stunning new wax figure of Mariah Carey, the legendary “Queen of Christmas” and top-selling female artist. The new figure’s debut comes as Carey kicks off her highly-anticipated Christmas Time Tour, making this moment even more magical for fans.

The figure captures Carey’s iconic holiday spirit with a glistening red sequined gown inspired by Marilyn Monroe, echoing her glamorous look from her Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Apple TV+ special. In a personal touch from Carey herself, the wax figure is framed by a giant wreath adorned with lights and life-sized nutcrackers featuring Jack Russell Terrier designs as a nod to Carey’s love for her canine companions.

Crafted over nine months, the figure was meticulously sculpted by 20 artists who worked to perfect every detail, from her signature curls to her radiant smile. “It’s surreal! I never would have believed how lifelike my wax figure would be,” said Carey. “The whole room is a complete transformation into Christmastime. It feels like the perfect home for my wax figure!”

The new Mariah Carey figure reigns in the “Seasons of New York City” area, a newly expanded section of Madame Tussauds celebrating NYC’s four seasons. Here, guests can stroll through a snowy winter wonderland, pose with Timothée Chalamet in autumn, or even enjoy springtime under cherry blossoms with Selena Gomez. This immersive area is part of a multimillion-dollar renovation, enhancing the museum’s interactive offerings.

Mariah Carey Agrees With Chappell Roan’s Viral Thoughts On Being Famous: It Is ‘Not Fun’

October 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Not to age her, but Mariah Carey has been a household name since before I was born. Still, the “Always Be My Baby” singer never seemed to express any disdain with her global notoriety.

During a sit down with AP, Carey discussed her continuous domination of the holiday season. But when asked about thoughts on Chappell Roan expressing her frustrations with fame, Mariah Carey shockingly agreed.

“Well, I have been through my share of dramas,” she said. “It’s not fun because you grow up thinking, ‘I want to be famous.’ I mean, really with me, it was always, ‘I want to be a singer. I want to write songs.”

Carey then went on to admit that she was exactly opposed to obtaining fame. “But ‘I want to be famous’ was right there with it,” she said. “I feel like it was probably because I didn’t feel like I was good enough on my own because of the things I went through growing up. And that’s not a good way to feel, you know?”

Although Carey has found a way to balance life both with everyone watching, Chappell Roan hasn’t quite mastered that same skill. On September 27, Chappell Roan decided to cancel her appearance at All Things Go Festival 2024, citing being “overwhelmed” as the reasoning.

James Packer Opens Up About “Trainwreck” Breakup with Mariah Carey

September 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eight years after the high-profile breakup between Australian billionaire James Packer and pop icon Mariah Carey, Packer is shedding light on the end of their engagement, calling it one of the “worst times” of his life. The pair’s relationship, which began in 2015 and ended in late 2016, was fraught with tension, and Packer is now revealing just how difficult it was for him.

In a candid interview with 7NEWS, as reported by RadarOnline, Packer, 57, described the breakup as a “trainwreck.” He recounted a particularly difficult period when Carey, 55, allegedly believed he had planted a negative story about her in the media. “Mariah and I had broken up, and she thought I’d planted a story in a magazine, which I hadn’t, and it made her look bad,” Packer shared. “She was threatening to say things about me, and so it was um… it was a trainwreck.”

The breakup, which occurred in October 2016, just nine months after they became engaged, marked the end of a whirlwind romance. Despite their seemingly glamorous lifestyle, Packer acknowledged that their relationship became toxic. “The times that I’ve been at my worst, you know, I’ve had a lot on my mind,” he admitted, alluding to personal struggles during that period.

Packer’s reflection comes years after both he and Carey moved on with their lives, but it highlights the complexity of their short-lived romance. The businessman, known for his vast wealth and media empire, has kept a relatively low profile since the split, while Carey, a music legend, continues to thrive in the entertainment world.

Their relationship, once seen as a fairy tale, became a tabloid sensation as it unraveled, with both parties going their separate ways under difficult circumstances. Now, Packer’s admission provides a rare glimpse into the emotional toll of their public breakup.

Mariah Carey Getting Ready To Perform Again After “Couple Of Rough Weeks”

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to TMZ, Mariah Carey is getting ready to tour once again. In a recent Instagram post, the R&B icon shared a short clip of her powerfully singing and prepping for said upcoming performances. She will be heading across the globe to China and then eventually Brazil (or vice versa) very soon. However, at the time of writing, nothing is officially set in stone just yet. But despite all that’s happened, she seems to be excited to get back onstage and perform in front of thousands. “Back at work. It’s been a couple of rough weeks, but I appreciate everyone’s love and support so much”, she said. “I can’t wait to see my fans in China & Brazil. Love you! ”.

Of course, those “couple of rough weeks” are a reference to the passing of her mother and sister. Both Patricia (87) and Alison (63) died on the same day during the weekend of August 23. Still, no one knows the causes of their deaths. There’s also the off chance that Mariah is talking about catching some flak from a friend of Alison’s in regard to not reaching out and that the singer knew about her sibling’s condition.

Carey never addressed the matter publicly, but there’s probably a chance she talked to David Baker behind closed doors. He accused her of being aware about her dwindling life expectancy for about a month. Alison was reportedly heartbroken about never getting a “phone call or, better still, a video call”. There continues to still be a lot of questions about all of this, so stay with us for anything else regarding this ongoing storyline.

Mariah Carey Apparently Knew About Sister’s Condition For A Month But Never Reached Out

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mariah Carey is currently dealing with two major losses. Her mother, Patricia, as well as her sister, Alison, are both out of her life after passing away on the same day this past weekend. It’ll probably be a little before we know the causes of their tragic deaths, but the singer/songwriter phenom is asking for privacy and respect during this time. “I appreciate everyone’s love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time”, she told TMZ. In that same announcement, Carey expressed how hard it was for to reveal this information.

“My heart is broken that I’ve lost my mother this past weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day. I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed”. However, a close friend of Alison’s is disputing that she’s not as emotionally damaged as she is putting on. According to The Neighborhood Talk and an exclusive report from The U.S. Sun, David Baker divulged in the conversations he had with her, as he was around her for almost a decade trying to help her through health complications and her addictions.

Alison’s Friend Is Calling Out Mariah Carey

Mr. Baker claims that Mariah never reached out in any way while during Alison’s final days even though she allegedly knew about the state she was in. Baker says, “No, Mariah has never tried to contact Alison, even after she was told a month ago that Alison was dying. “A phone call or, better still, a video call would have meant so much to Alison. But it never came. And now Mariah is ‘heartbroken’ by the loss of her mother and her ‘ex’ sister”. He also revealed that Alison was always thinking about whether or not Mariah and the rest of the family would attend her funeral. “Alison was unhappy that her ‘baby sister’ had cut off contact with her. She talked about it frequently. She wondered if Mariah or any of her relatives would come to her funeral”.

It’s up to Mariah now if she wants to entertain this, but it’s worth noting that Alison and Mariah were never really close due to a very complicated history. What are your thoughts on Mariah Carey allegedly not speaking to her dying sister Alison in her final month? Do you think this is true, why or why not? If it is, do you think the singer should have reached out despite their history? Should Mariah respond to Alison’s friend’s claims? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Mariah Carey.

Mariah Carey’s Mother And Sister Tragically Died On The Same Day: ‘My Heart Is Broken’

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usually, Mariah Carey is all butterflies and rainbows. Sadly, the twinkle in her eyes has grown dim after tragedy struck the Carey family.

Today (August 26), in an exclusive statement to People, the “Always Be My Baby” singer revealed that both her mother, Patricia Carey, and sister, Alison Carey died over the weekend. As if that wasn’t enough of a punch to the stomach, they mournfully passed on the same day.

In the midst of her grief, Carey managed to power through to update her devoted superfans, the Lambs, about their untimely deaths. “My heart is broken that I’ve lost my mother this past weekend,” she said. “Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day. I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed,” adds Mariah. “I appreciate everyone’s love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time.”

Supporters online have begun to flood Mariah’s social media pages with touching messages. Many encouraged others to use their discernment before commenting on the Carey family dynamic. In Mariah’s 2020 best-selling memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, she addressed the at times rocky relationship she had with her late mother, writing: “Our relationship is a prickly rope of pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration and disappointment. A complicated love tethers my heart to my mother’s.”
