Mariah Carey Admits To Being A Diva

Audio By Carbonatix

Mariah Carey knows she’s a diva. And she knows you know she’s a diva. And more importantly, she’s perfectly happy with that, thank you very much! The singer recently sat down with "W Magazine" ... while in a bubblebath... and let them know she’s perfectly happy being a diva. After all, she learned to command audiences from her own mother who was an opera singer.

“There are things people are not aware of, because this whole quote-unquote ‘diva’ thing is always what people see first,” she said. “Yes, I play into it. And yes, part of that is real. I can’t help it. Like, what do you do if you grew up with an opera singer for a mother, who went to Juilliard and made her debut at Lincoln Center?” Carey said.

The singer did let on, though, that she might play up the whole ‘diva’ thing because she knows, in the end, that’s what we all want from her. She went on to say in her interview “There’s just a certain amount that is going to emerge. So, yes, it’s just an affectation, and sometimes it’s purposely done, and sometimes it’s just, like, you know, a response.”
