Mariah Carey chose diva life, it wasn’t other way around. Five-time Grammy winner (52) stated in phone interview  “There are things people are not aware of because this entire quote-unquote ‘diva’ thing is always what people see first.” Interview took place while she was enjoying bubble bath.

“Yes, I play into it. And yes, part of that is real. I can’t help it,” she explained. “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?” Patricia Carey, performer with New York City Opera is Caucasian. Aeronautical engineer Alfred Roy Carey a black and Hispanic man, was. Their famous daughter claims that prima donna character is combination of her upbringing and ‘affectation.’

Mariah characteried her childhood as “Very dysfunctional to point that it’s astonishing that [she] made it out of it at all” as mixed girl growing up in largely white neighbourhood in New York. Musical icon revealed that her childhood Christmases were anything but idyllic as she brought spirit of her favourite holiday to this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade while decked out in tiara and ball gown.–Agencies
