Must-See: Mariah Carey Elaborates On Not Knowing Jennifer Lopez

Published: Wednesday 18th May 2016 by Sam

Mariah Carey is hitting the promotional pavement in support her new E! docu-series ‘Mariah’s World’ – which debuts later this summer.

This evening saw her stop by Bravo‘s Watch What Happens Live to plug the series.

As ever, host Andy Cohen didn’t hold back. Remarking that he witnessed Jennifer Lopez visibly excited by the show’s trailer, he used that as a segue-way to question Mimi about her incessant claims of “not knowing” Lopez.

Watch the catty hilarity that ensued below…

Oh Mariah.

Truth be told, everything she said does make sense. But the manner in which she speaks about it is still bathed in shade. Is it that hard to be…nice?

Your thoughts?

    She spoke no lies

    • Kemar (@S_C_Jr on Twitter) May 18, 2016

      Exactly. I’m the same way. If I don’t know you personally, when asked about you, I’m not going to say we know each other just because I saw you one time. That’s crazy. However, I hope this is the LAST time Mariah talks about this.

    Hahahah still throwing shade! LMAO

    I was gonna drag her but I watched the video first and she looked AMAZING and I get where she’s coming from! This was good for her

    • Lmfao_Hoe May 18, 2016

      I been saying this tho for so long. If anyone with common sense watched the old video she was asked about Beyone, to which she spoked about Beys personality (sweet,nice, and talented) sharing this indicates she Knows Bey on a personal level instead of knowing her as an artist, and when they brought up JLO she couldn’t say anything because she doesn’t know her personally to say whether shes nice or whatever. Like it wasn’t hard to comprehend that in the first place if they went by her speaking of Bey first. Smh call it shade, s*** I cal it keeping it real I don’t know from a can of paint.

    When will Aaliyah know Life after disintegrating into particles of dust? When will Mark admit he’s one of the girls? When will LB stop bottoming for Paul and save some room for Del Bey & John Vidal? WHEEEEENNN?

    • wrosy3 May 18, 2016

      Why would you disrespect aliyah like that in fake rih avi you sick

      • RihNavy May 18, 2016

        Dear Rosy aka wrosy3 aka I slit my wrist, you’re in NO position to talk. Even Jackie told you to shut the hell up. Bye ugly

  5. RihNavy May 18, 2016

    When will Jackie stop creating troll accounts and posing as Annalise, Myself, & HailBeysus?

    • #JACKIE May 18, 2016

      When will you get off my d***? I thought you were no longer addressing me? You’re PRESSED!!!!!

  6. Meteorite May 18, 2016

    Well…no shade no tea…she does have a valid point

  7. Bravo!! May 18, 2016

    Still didn’t make since Mariah

    • Mariah May 18, 2016

      Oh dahling
      SINCE vs SENSE
      Mariah makes perfect SENSE

  8. cocobutta May 18, 2016

    Keeps the banter rolling. Mimi got t-shirts to sell of this long standing sentence and being forgetful means she “Still doesn’t know her”.

    Keeping the shade aspect makes the term stay alive.

    • cocobutta May 18, 2016

      I like that she watched or got wind of what Jlo said when she was on Wendy lol.

      • Faf May 18, 2016

        Of course she did probably while her fat ass was eating potato chips big fat cows are so jealous of pretty girls with nice bodies

    After reading the description in the post, I expected more drama and unnecessary shade from Mariah. I really was prepared to think why won’t this woman grow up, JLO’s not even stressing her! I must say Mariah explained herself very well. I get it now! I’ve never been quick to call anyone I met briefly (and had surface conversation with), my friend or acquaintance. If you look at the original clip of “I don’t know her’, you’ll see Mariah switching from one topic to the next (from Beyonce to JLO) and it appears to be questioning along the lines Mariah is speaking of. I guess media can be blamed for provoking a girl fight (it was common knowledge at that time that there was tension between Mariah and JLO early on in Jenny’s career).

  10. Mariah May 18, 2016

    Sam, are you really ending this write up saying “is it that hard to be nice?”
    As much unnecessary shade you throw (as a man) to two certain females(Mariah being one).
    Really? You’re the last mofo to talk about being nice. The very last person

  11. Cinnamon Girl May 18, 2016

    Mariah, nobody cares. And your show will be cancelled soon

    • Mariah May 18, 2016

      Canceled? It’s just a 8 part docu series of a tour… Which means after its done it’s DONE. There is nothing to cancel. I don’t mind Mariah shade from lessors such as yourself but come on let’s shade with facts.
      And if no one cared, I would say YOU care, for if you didn’t you would have never hit “submit comment”

      • Mariah May 18, 2016

        An 8

      • Cinnamon Girl May 18, 2016

        …And noone still cares

    • Mariah May 18, 2016

      you care cinabunn… You know you care.

      • Cinnamon Girl May 18, 2016

        Nope. Sorry. I don’t. Won’t be watching either

  12. Kitteneyez May 18, 2016

    Sam u a f***** c***

    I understood where she was coming from she didnt f****** shade JLo get the f*** over yourself

  13. Mariah May 18, 2016

    Now, to the real topic.
    anyone that thinks with logic knew that Mariah and JLo never had a conversation but met in passing. Even JLo on this very show said “they never really met”. There is no beef, she just doesn’t know her personally, period.
    MC may be shady but the truth is she is very cool and actually very funny and fun to be around in a personal setting.

    • Faf May 18, 2016

      She’s mad because she thinks tommy Mottola traded her for something younger and cuter

      And sold her songs to jlo

      Is she mad at Thalia as well? No because j lo is the one who’s still churning success this decade

      Who everyone calls ageless

      This is proof no matter how many records sold u can still be insecure

  14. Jay Jay May 18, 2016

    Lol this reminds me of Phaedra and NeNe

    I get where Mariah is coming from. She obviously knows who JLO is but she doesn’t KNOW her as a person.

  15. yelyaH the Alternative Queen May 18, 2016

    thank you mariah. your “i don’t know her created a culture. not everyone has that type of power”

  16. Gee May 18, 2016

    I saw this myself and I did not detect shade, but when Jlo said she must be forgetful or something that was not shade get real it was shade at its finest but the media swept under the rug. I got a better since of I don’t know her from Mariah’s response last night if anything they met said hello at one point or another but do not know each other personally.

  17. S****** Blonde May 18, 2016

    It is that hard to be nice?

    • Dossome May 18, 2016

      She’s being real…I’ll take being real over being nice anyday

      • Avi May 18, 2016

        The two aren’t mutually exclusive. But since we’re being ‘real,’ JLo is on a real TV show on NBC and Mariah is on a silly reality concoction on E!…

    • Mariah May 18, 2016

      JLo is on a real show….
      I can not with these dumb trolls. I swear do you all even hear yourselves?

      • Faf May 18, 2016

        She is shades of blue hon which is picked up for a second season

        She owns a Latin network as well

        He’s not referring to American idol

  18. grapejuicefan May 18, 2016

    she is so good with throwing shade i don’t even know what to believe

  19. Dossome May 18, 2016

    I loved the interview…She came across really well.What I’ve always loved about Mariah,Prince,Janet,Whitney etc is they are very honest celebrities.Hollywood is so fake.These celebrities posing it up at the red carpet like they’re best friends when they can’t even stand each other<<<<<<<<<<<<

  20. JOHNVIDAL May 18, 2016

    LOL Love Mariah! Plus she is right.

  21. IG : @mixedboy May 18, 2016

    Mariah you on fire! *Andy Cohen’s voice lol

  22. DIABETIC STROKE May 18, 2016

    I think the sole reason 13 years later this is still regarded as hollywoods most ULTIMATE shade is the fact that even if mimi didnt know Jlo personally (clearly she didnt if they never crossed paths aside from a casually forgetable hi or hello bye). . . Mariah STILL had every oppurtunity to say something nice about Jlo asn ARTIST. Yet she didnt take it lol. A clear sign that mimi doesnt regard jlo as talented which is what she complimented Bey on being talented & a great song writer/composer which bey was very involved in crafting DIL & Survivor (back when bey used to actually write songs as a lead writer) something mariah does well. Its still blatent shade then and now even if mariah doesnt want to admit it.

  23. Coolness May 18, 2016

    I like both Mairah and J.Lo; the former for her legendary vocals and catalog while I”ve always been into the latter’s fashion, electrifying performances and a few movies. Mimi explained this perfectly because over the years people have ran her “I don’t her” to the the pinnacle of Pop Diva shade. However, I died when Mariah made mention of she herself being “Apparently forgetful”. That was a mess because she claerly wants everyone to know she was made aware of J.Lo’s comments a few months back on Wendy. Mariah didn’t mean it literally – OF COURSE she knows who Jennifer Lopez is! They were on the same label, sort of run in the same circles and the whole Tommy Mottolla/Firecracker sample controversy has been well documented. Simply put, she only knows Jenny on a surface level and at this point, probably doesn’t want to go any further than that. I

  24. SMH May 18, 2016

    And this is why she has been reduced to a reality show D Lister now.

    Grow up, Mariah.

    • Mariah May 18, 2016

      Smh I bet you believe beyonce faked her pregnancy too, don’t you?

  25. Truth Tea Spill May 18, 2016

    Sam is really gonna say “is it that hard to be nice”. ? Silly queen. You’re mean and shady toward people, especially Mariah, all the time on this blog. That’s why Mariah, or Rhianna will never acknowledge your measly existence.

  26. IOWNTHEWORLD May 18, 2016

    “segue-way”? ????
