In the last decade, cat fights between divas have been a real thing and the queen of this game is mariah carey. As Miley Cyrus joins the caravan by dissing Mariah and tweeting she's not a fan, we wait for the diva's response in trepidation. Miss Carey had frictions with many others in the past, here's the rundown of the best Mariah Carey's feuds (so far).
Top 10 feuds
10 - Mariah vs Miley Cyrus
Miley has recently tweeted “I’ve never really been a fan, because it’s so much about Mariah Carey.
That’s part of her shtick; I can see through that, that’s part of what makes her a gay icon; it’s about Mimi! It’s about what she’s wearing, it’s about her”. She basically criticized Mariah for being herself, it won't be hard for Mimi to provide a victorious snap-back soon.
9 - Mariah vs Demi Lovato
Demi posted a meme about Mariah and Ariana Grande (see gallery) and commented: "'Mariah is a legend and is so talented but constantly disses people". Mimi's decision to skip on it is actually considered a shade at Lovato's relevance.
8 - Mariah vs Ariana Grande
When asked about Grande: "“I wish everybody all the best of luck and if this is the career path they choose, hope that they can achieve longevity”.
When a song from Grande got played during Mariah's Carpool Karaoke episode, she gushed "Oh my god..". Poor Ariana Grande has always been a Mariah fan.
7 - Mariah vs Madonna
This Feud was sparked by the material girl who once declared she'd rather kill herself than being Mariah. The response showed from the early stage of her career Mimi wasn't one to be attacked: "I haven't paid attention to Madonna since I was in 5th or 6th grade, when she used to be popular".
6 - Mariah vs Eminem
When Eminem hinted at an affair with Carey, she quickly denied it with her song "Obsessed" where she compares him to a stalker. Angered by Mimi's counter-back the rapper threatened her in his song The warning: "Wow Mariah, didn't expect you to go ... 'fore I put all them phone calls out".
Such calls have yet to surface.
5- Mariah vs Whitney Houston
The two divas dueted on the song When You Believe, but it's not like they haven't had their share of fighting. When asked about Mariah years after the duet, Whitney replied:" What i think of her? I don't think of her", a masterclass in diva shading. For once, it was Mariah who had to step back.
4 - Mariah vs Celine Dion
Dion committed the biggest crime when engaging in a crescendo of high notes with Aretha Franklin during Divas Live in 1998. An unforgiving Mariah stayed in the background among the others on stage but commented after: "When Aretha sings, you don't stand there and try to compete with the queen of soul".
3 - Mariah vs Christina Aguilera
All began when Christina told GQ about Mariah being really drunk or highly medicated post-breakdown, and "had just really derogatory things to say to me." When questioned, Mariah replied she was uninvited and displayed questionable behavior to one of her parties.
Ever since Mimi's all eyes-rolling and hair-tossing at every mention of Christina's name.
2 - Mariah vs Nicky Minaj
Mariah clashed with Minaj while appearing as a judge on American Idol in 2013. About the experience she commented 'It was like going to work every day in Hell with Satan.'' When Minaj dissed back in the track Hell Yeah "But I’m quick to the check a ... if she outta line", a seemingly distracted Mariah commented: "Don't know. I didn't know she sang. I thought she rapped. Or whatever."
1 - Mariah vs J-Lo
I don't know her. The best one-line shade ever thrown in pop, no discussion. Because Mimi obviously knew who J-Lo was and there's a story about Lopez stealing a track from her with the help of Carey's ex husband Tommy Mottola.
The sentence has been quoted everywhere for years. When recently asked, Carey insisted she "still don't know her". J-Lo tried to downplay it saying "Mariah is forgetful, we met so many times".
All hail Mariah, five-octane marvel and queen bee of shading.
