Singer Mariah Carey is the diva for whom all divas are named. She's one of the most incredibly gifted singers the world has ever seen, but the stories about her backstage demands are legendary, and they've been around for years. On top of that, she also has an unfortunate habit of taking big money to perform in dictatorships and for dictators. She played in Libya for Colonel Gaddafi, did the same in Angola, and even in 2019 played in Saudi Arabia during the Khashoggi controversy.
It wouldn't be unfair to say that Carey loves money. If she didn't, she wouldn't keep accepting bookings that were bound to get her bad press. That doesn't make her a bad person though - far from it. Carey has worked with the Make A Wish foundation many times to support sick children, and helped to set up the 'Fresh Air Fund' to connect inner-city children to career opportunities and education. In fact, her involvement with the project was so extensive that it's been nicknamed 'Camp Maria.'
