Mariah Carey is a global legend. Fans call her the “Queen of Christmas,” but her love life is just as famous as her voice. In Nigeria, we love a good “gist” about celebrity drama and big money. Mariah’s history has it all: powerful husbands and $50 million lawsuits.
The Powerful Husbands
Mariah married twice in her life. Her first husband was Tommy Mottola. He was the big boss at Sony Music. He helped Mariah become a superstar in 1993. However, Mariah later called the marriage a “cage.” She felt he controlled her too much. They eventually divorced in 1998.
Her second husband was the popular host, Nick Cannon. They married in 2008 and had twins. Nigerians often joke about Nick Cannon today because he has so many children with different women. However, with Mariah, he remains a very dedicated “baby daddy.” They split in 2014 but they are still very good friends.
The Billionaire and the $50 Million Payday
Mariah also dated Australian billionaire James Packer. He gave her a massive diamond ring in 2016. When the relationship ended, Mariah did not leave empty-handed. She reportedly sued him for $50 million. She claimed he wasted her time and caused her stress. She also sold that famous engagement ring for $2 million. Mariah truly knows how to “secure the bag” after a breakup!
Famous Music Feuds
Who can forget the drama with Eminem? The rapper claimed they dated for months. Mariah denied it completely. She even released the hit song “Obsessed” to mock him. Many Nigerians still sing that song word-for-word today! She also dated baseball star Derek Jeter. He gave her the courage to leave her first marriage.
Who is Mariah Dating Now?
Mariah recently ended a seven-year relationship with dancer Bryan Tanaka. Now, she is linked to singer Anderson .Paak. People see them together often at public events. Mariah always stays in the news. She knows her worth and never settles for less when things go wrong.
