Mariah Carey Hangs Up on Radio Interview

If you’re interviewing Mariah Carey, you better have your facts straight. The radio host mistakenly said Mimi sold 80 million albums and she took major issue and hung up. It turns out she sold more like 160 million and was rather insulted.

Diva much? I’ll tell you what though, with 160 million in sales, she earned the right to correct her interviewer. The interview went well before that and they were having fun so I’m not so sure hanging up was the right thing to do, but this is Miss Mariah we’re talking about. She does have a reputation, after all.

I actually think it was intentional. I’m not a MC nerd (a fan, but not those in-denial ones), but ot’s of these interviewer’s know how to push her buttons. So they PURPOSFULLY try to “mistake” her album sales, or talk about bad stuff just to see her reaction.

All she had to do was correct the interviewer. People get stuff wrong all the time, it was probably not intentional.

Yeah, when you sell 160 million albums you have certain rights, but there may have been a better way to handle the situation…but it is Mariah.
