Camila Cabello‘s ‘Havana,’ Rihanna‘s ‘Needed Me,’ Nicki Minaj‘s ‘No Frauds,’ and Katy Perry‘s ‘Swish Swish,’ are just a few of the credits lining the resume of songwriter Starrah…and one of the reasons she’s being branded by some as “the biggest songwriter in the game right now.”

With such an impressive list of hits to her name, it’s no secret she’s being sought out by many – including Queen of Pop Madonna (who’s reportedly hard at work on her 14th studio album).  Making the reveal earlier this week, some fans of the legendary songstress were thrilled to learn she’s not only working with Starrah, but also reconnecting with ‘Ghosttown’ producer Billboard.  Other fans, well…not so much.

Fielding criticism for “chasing hits” or “making hip hop records,” some of the diva’s followers made no secret of their displeasure of the 59-year-old singer presumably making music that would appeal to younger music buyers.

Never one to mince words, M had enough and took to Instagram to clap back:

Mariah Carey is ready to work.

Under her old management regime, the songbird surprised many last year when revealing she’d be focussing on singles instead of albums – despite the latter being something she prided herself on. Especially as a songwriter.

Reliable word has it that she’s been mapping out the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Me I Am Mariah. The Elusive Chanteuse’ and she’s confirmed as much moments ago.

As rap feuds go, few were as intense or as documented as 50 Cent and Ja Rule‘s tussle in the early 00’s.

Ja and Murder Inc had the industry in their palm after a multi-year run of back-to-back smashes. Then 50 emerged with G-Unit, jabs were traded both on wax and in interviews, and the tide quite quickly turned. Legal issues swallowed Ja and co and the rest is history.

Or is it?

I’m excited to join Absolut with The Open Mic Project because we’re using music as a way to bring people together. From sharing my own story to spotlighting others, we’re bringing the issue of acceptance to a global stage and changing today’s current chat to be more inclusive.”
