Mariah Carey has shared her feelings about not being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The singer of "We Belong Together" was a nominee in February alongside stars like Cher, Ozzy Osbourne, and Mary J. Blige. However, she did not make the cut when the inductees were announced in April.

In a recent interview with "The Los Angeles Times," published on October 30, Carey expressed her disappointment about the snub. She remarked, "My thoughts are: I didn’t get in." Carey recalled the excitement she felt as calls flooded in with hopes for her induction. "Everybody was calling me going, ‘I think you’re getting in!’ But then it didn’t happen." With a touch of humor, she added, "My lawyer got into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame before me." She referenced Allen Grubman, her lawyer, who was inducted in 2022 for the Ahmet Ertegun Award. This award recognizes non-performers whose work has significantly influenced the music industry.

During the same interview, Carey discussed her career, including winning five Grammy Awards. She reflected on her early success, saying, "They gave me two Grammys when I first started out." She noted a pivotal year when she received six nominations for the "Daydream" album, which featured hits such as "One Sweet Day" and "Fantasy." Despite her strong showing, she did not win. "I was like, This is not fun. But what can I do? Be a sore loser and say, ‘F the Grammys?’" she questioned.

In a lighthearted manner, she concluded, "Whatever. If they give me more Grammys, I’ll like them more." Carey also discussed her Grammy experiences on an October 16 episode of the "Las Culturistas" podcast, hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. She remembered winning her first two Grammys in 1991 for Best New Artist and Best Pop Female Vocal Performance with "Vision of Love."

Her subsequent wins came in 2006, for "We Belong Together" and the Best Contemporary R&B Album for "The Emancipation of Mimi." Reflecting on her record, Carey stated, "They scammed me. They toy with me." She was particularly surprised that her acclaimed 1997 album, "Butterfly," received "zero accolades."

Earlier, SSP wrote that Olivia Rodrigo called men who want to go to space a ‘red flag’.
