| Mariah Carey Dropped By Her Label |
No matter what anyone says, we LIVE for Mariah Carey. She may live a more eclectic life than many, but the fact of the matter is, at her peak, MC was writing her own music, slaying EVERY vocal and just being a true legend. Admit it; your fav could NEVER.
Still, this past year hasn’t been the best for the elusive chanteuse. She had a very public and nasty breakup with her ex-fiance James Packer, and that New Years Eve performance at Times Square was just abysmal. With all that’s gone down for MC in the past few months, it looks L.A. Reid is ready to end his working relationship with her.

| Mariah Carey Dropped By Her Label |
Back in 2015, Mariah’s Lambs were thrilled when she signed with Epic Records, not only did the deal reunite her with Sony, it also reconnected her with the legend L.A. Reid who was the force behind her astounding and career-reviving album, The Emancipation of Mimi. Now, it looks like Epic and L.A. Reid are over MC and her shenanigans.
Roger Friedman from Showbiz 411 is reporting, “Yesterday — Monday– I caught word that Epic Records is very unhappy with Mariah. That recent single, called “I Don’t,” was a total failure. It was also a total surprise to Epic. They were sent the track all completed, with no forewarning from Carey’s camp that it was coming, I am told. They hadn’t heard it. “We were just told to put it out,” says a source. So they did. And it flopped. Now my sources say Epic chief L.A. Reid is considering dropping Mariah from the label. In the time since she signed with him, Carey has had two singles– “I Don’t” and “Infinity.” They were not sellers, and didn’t get played on radio. There is no work being done toward an album, and no conversations are taking place between Epic and Carey’s team.”
Personally, we think that letting Mariah Carey go would not be the best move from Epic. However, it’s clear from her recent missteps and her reality series, Mariah’s World (WHICH IS LEGEND) that she needs to hire some big guns to get her back on track. Her current team is NOT the business.
