‘Heart Attack’ hitmaker Demi Lovato is still under attack after shade thrown at pop icon Mariah Carey was detected earlier today – much to the disapproval of Carey’s faithful fanbase (affectionately christened #Lambs).

Lovato, readying a co-headlining North American tour with fellow pop singer Nick Jonas, took to social media to clap back at a meme originally made to diss Ariana Grande.  Coming to the ‘Dangerous Woman’ singer’s defense, Demi’s first comment not only made headlines, but her follow-up – which explained why she stood by her diss – only incited further Twitter attack.
