Mariah Carey wants to outshine Jennifer Lopez when she makes a comeback, says source
Reports of Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey’s rumored rivalry have recently made headlines. A source told Star Magazine that the record producer has been focused on one-upping J.Lo. They claimed that Carey is “still ferociously competitive” with the “On The Floor” hitmaker.
Therefore, Carey has decided to make her comeback through her acting career. Although her 2001 musical, “Glitter,” was a big flop at the box office, people seemingly praised her acting in the 2009 film, “Precious.” The insider stated that she still garners “compliments” about her performance in the film.
Before aiming to focus on her acting career, the singer-songwriter was working on “lucrative holiday-themed live” shows. Although they earned big bucks, the “monotony has set in.” Thus, she now prefers to grab more acting opportunities. According to the outlet, Carey and Lopez’s alleged rivalry began in the late 90s. During that time, J.Lo collaborated with Carey’s ex-husband and record executive Tommy Mottola. Then, it seemed to have irked the “Obsessed” singer.
Later, the media and fans labelled the dynamic between the two Hollywood bombshells as rivals. In 2003, Carey said, “I don’t know her,” when an interviewer asked her about J.Lo. Her reaction even turned into a popular meme.
On the other hand, the “Marry Me” actress refuted the feud rumors in a 2014 episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.” She mentioned that she knew about Carey’s response and other rivalry reports “from back in the day.”
Furthermore, Lopez clarified that the two divas had never met and thus, they “don’t know each other.” “I think it’s kind of from word of mouth of things that have happened in the past that I’m not really aware of,” J.Lo said. She also stated that she would love to befriend her as Carey “is incredibly talented.”
