‘Lmfao Mariah is so humble if she wanted she could literally eat all the stage for breakfast lol’: This is what happens when ”Beyonce and Mariah Carey” are on the same stage
It was another double diva kind of night for Beyoncé and Mariah Carey!
The two music icons reunited at Roc Nation’s festive pre-2018 Grammy Awards brunch at the One World Observatory at the Top of One World Trade Center in New York City. They greeted each other with a hug and a kiss on the cheek and were later seen chatting. And they matched; Both singers wore ponytails.
Jay-Z, founder of the Roc Nation entertainment company, arrived at the event before Bey. Mariah chatted with him as well.
Bey and Jay also enjoyed some moments alone while holding hands, kissing and enjoying the view of the city, E! News has learned.
Beyoncé and Mariah were last photographed together in early 2016 at the Heartview Global Foundation gala in Los Angeles and had been spotted together a few times in years past.
Other guests at the Roc Nation brunch included Fifth Harmony‘s Normani Kordei, who was also spotted chatting with Beyoncé, DJ Khaled, Big Sean, La La Anthony, Sean “Diddy” Combs and girlfriend Cassie, Susan Sarandon, Remy Ma, Brooklyn Beckham, Jaden Smith, Thomas Rhett and wife Lauren Atkins, T.I, and Nick Jonas and Iggy Azalea—who had hung out at a pre-Grammys party on Friday. The two also had a late dinner with his brothers.
At the Roc Nation brunch, Iggy and Nick were seen talking. The rapper was spotted chatting with Diddy in the VIP area and also hung out with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Jay-Z was also seen walking around, smiling and greeting other people with hugs. Guests were served Jay-Z’s D’USSÉ Cognac.
Mariah Carey shuts down possibility of Verzuz battle against Beyoncé
It looks like fans will never get to see Mariah Carey and Beyoncé battle it out on the Verzuz stage.
During an interview with E! News, the “All I Want For Christmas Is You” singer quickly shut down the possibility when asked if she would consider going against Queen Bey and who would win the hypothetical matchup. “Oh, stop! I love you, but we can’t ask that question,” Carey said. “First of all, I love Beyoncé and I admire her so much as a performer for what she’s done for the world and everything else, so I ain’t answering that question.”
“I’ll be disrespecting myself and I’m not going to do that, because it’s Christmas time,” she added.
Earlier this month, L.A. Reid discussed who he would want to see in his desired Verzuz competition. “It’s Mariah Carey versus Beyoncé! Bring that on,” he said on “The Real.”
“The hits they have, the legacies they have. Bey is the queen, right? Sometimes Mariah might be slightly underrated for how long her career has lasted, how many hits she has, and she practically owns Christmas,” he added.
Since his remarks, fans have been going back and forth about who would take home the W if the two divas went head-to-head. Twitter user @chesterjonesjnr tweeted, “Mariah Carey’s career started 13 years before Beyoncé. They are not in the same league. Mariah Carey’s #1s are unmatched. Please go remind yourself who Mariah is. She owns a whole season every single year since 1994.”
“Mariah Carey & Beyoncé doing a Verzuz would be great!” tweeted @JessicaNesShay1. “Mariah would be one of the only ones that could hang in there with Bey, but you’re sick if you think Beyoncé not winning! She’s timeless.”
