Mariah Carey shoots down rumours of split with label Def Jam

The internet has been abuzz the past few days with rumours that Mariah Carey is planning on leaving her record label Island Def Jam once the promotion for her latest album Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel wraps up.

Well I thought the news was a little fishy so I reached out to Mimi’s hubby Nick Cannon, who was quick to shoot down the rumours which he labelled as “untrue”.

The rumor is definitely untrue. We are about release the remix album!

So I guess we can chalk this one down to unreliable websites and bloggers trying to cause drama. Why would the Queen Bee want to leave her hive? Mariah probably hasn’t even decided what her next move will be yet.

She may get pushed around a little by L.A. Reid over single choices, but you can’t deny that she doesn’t receive top notch promotion and support from the label who helped take her back to the top with The Emancipation of Mimi.

    Mariah is in dire need of a new image/ music direction.

    It’s broke Mariah, so you NEED TO FIX IT. Go home and try again.

    Hey proph, do you know when the HATEU video comes out?

  3. The Prophet Says:

    No clue sorry! When I talk to Nick it’s usually about his stuff, he doesn’t really blab about Mariah and I don’t ask, but I just wanted to check with him about this rumour because I saw that it was being picked up by ET and stuff and I wanted to find out if it was true or not.

    LMFAO, This is a DIRECT hit at THAT PISS JUICE!

    And good, I hate those stupid bitches Spam and Rent… oops Sam and Trent

    Release the remix- are the crazy? that will bomb! moia debuted at #80 in Ireland this week and it will miss the top 15 spot in England for the album and the single.

    That with all the promotion she did in England. Now the album is #95 in the usa- it’s a wrap but no one wants to go home.

    I love MC but she needs to focus on her acting for a little while maybe for 3yrs than come back and make music look at what happened when she took a break after Glitter she took a well deserved break and she came back with The Emancipation of Mimi which was a great album than E=mc was crap and this is crap.

  7. The Prophet Says:

    Lmao Curtis. Shh!

    Maybe she will leave at some stage (which would be a stupid move IMO) but it definitely doesn’t sound like there’s any current plans

  8. Steveroni Says:

    I actually really enjoy MOIA as a whole and think its great when I’m just relaxing.
    However I don’t think any of the songs by themselves can be released as highly successful singles.

  9. mimifan Says:

    i think a break will be good.
    maybe for a baby?
    she has had too many albums out
    in a short period of time. take some
    time to come back with something
    amazing!
    and please go buy memoirs! LOL!

    I love this women to death!! But u can agree back in 2005 the promotion was crazzyyy…. They went over the top with “The Emancipation…” It was hot! It deserved it’s success… I’m just mad cause she is an amazing talent and I feel her label and promo managers aren’t giving it their all! I’m not saying they havnt done anything! They’ve done a lot! But c’mon we talkin’ bout “MARIAH CAREY” They also gotta let her choose the single or have more input! She didn’t want IWTKWLI and it didn’t do so well!
    Wateva happens I love her music and the album! And I would love to see make a big hit like in ’05! LUVYA MCC!!!

  11. Tohamy Says:

    she is not alone for having a lukewarm album sales, well atleast she is gathering a good recognization for her movie career. not bad….

  12. The Prophet Says:

    They definitely need to trust her single choices, but they’ve promoted the shit out of her and they’r eletting her do a remix re-release! what more do u want?

  13. Tohamy Says:

    a remix re-released wont save the album anymore. hayyyyyyyyyyyyy hate LA reid for not trusting mariah in her choice of single. TEOM was a big success and mariah was the key so i dont undertannd why island cant reliazed those very simple logic.

  14. Robier Says:

    PLEASE SHE WASN’T ALL THAT IMPORTANT. RIHANNA WAS. THEY OUT ALL THEY HAD INTO RATED R. PLEASE.

  15. TMM09 Says:

    I agree with robier. Mariah wasn’t relevant this time around at defjam.. cause rihanna was getting all the promo. mariah got the knock off’s and LAreid’s shit single choices. I love the eom and even the album after that had it;s hits.. but none of them came out or got real bad video’s to acompany them. So yeah.. a few years off wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

  18. N. Beezy Says:

    @Blaizee

    You’re pathetic.

    This is the only blog I read because it’s the only one with substance! Proph’s driven out all the delusionals like yourself, so why don’t you kindly go back to reading thatorangejuice or whatever you like to do with your free time

  19. mex Says:

    THAT GRAPE JUICE FUCKING SUCKS!!! SAM N TRENT R GAY BOYS WHO R SO UP THEMSELVES THEY MAY AS WELL BE FUCKIN. I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED IF THEY ARE FUCKIN OVER SKYPE. SAM IS ALWAYS LIKE ‘COME ON SKYPE’ TO TRENT ON TWITTER. PROBABLY CAM-FUCKIN EACH OTHER. FUCKIN PIECES OF SHIT.

  20. Curtis Says:

    OMGSH how SAD! Blaizee must be dumbass Trent or Sam LMFAO…

    That Piss Juice dont have no loyal followers, the other day a shit load of comments came in about how the blogs deteriorated and theyve turned into catty bitches instead of bloggers.

    Proph just started and already had enough hook ups to get the real scoop on this fake ass story produced by one of wack ass Trent’s farts.. trust he’ll go far.

    The fact that the best thing at TGJ is their fucking design which they aren’t even responsible for says A LOT bitch get the fuck outta here

  21. RandomEnigma Says:

    Yeah, That Wank Juice are awful! They do steal a lot of their blogs of this site we’re on right now! Plus whereas Prophet may once subtly attack the site (honestly I never noticed his diss until Curtis mentioned), Sam and his poor sex slave Trent are like:

    “I hate Rihanna, she sounds like a goat and is trying to steal the crown of my beautiful idol Beyonce!”

    Okay, so they don’t explicitly state that but they are a bunch of Beyonce stans and shamelessley hate on people for no concrete reason!

  22. Johnta Says:

    Lmao Mariah gets grade A promotion at Def scam, people just dont like the singles she chooses. She’s been everywhere promoting IWTKWLI How is that a lack of promotion? She has more promotion then any other artist I can think of except maybe Beyonce.

  23. The Prophet Says:

    Thanks guys!

    And yeah for that loser who cussed me out, my site was only started this year! TGJ has been around forever.

  24. Johnta Says:

    Dont listen to him Prophet if you keep up what your doing you blog is going to surpass toyaz world you defintly post more news.

  25. Cory Says:

    I love MC and all her cds. im not “obsessed” with how many singles she releases or how many promotional appearances she makes! the fact of the matter is that she is an amazing singer and i lover her songs regardless if anyone else like her! if she only sells 2 copies it would not change that one of those copies would be mine cuz her cd is amazing! I love me some MC!~

  26. Punky Says:

    what the hell? “We are about release the remix album!” What’s with this “WE” shit? What does Nick have to do with the album? No, Mariah – this guy has to go … his little career has come and gone, you are worthy of much more than he can do!
