Mariah Carey Gets Vindication On Swiped Song Claim

Roger Friedman of Fox News reports Mariah Carey seems to have gotten vindication on her charge that Tommy Mottola moved to damage her career by having Jennifer Lopez do a sound-alike album under Irv Gotti. In XXL magazine’s article with Gotti, he was asked about whether Mottola had asked Murder Inc. to do the remix of ‘I’m Real’ after hearing a song Ja Rule did with Mariah Carey on the Glitter soundtrack. Gotti said in response, “Ja wrote a song with him and Mariah singing back and forth on the title track. I get a call from Tommy Mottola, who I have a great relationship with, and he’s like, ‘I need you to do me a favor. I want you to do this remix for Jennifer Lopez. I want you to put Ja on the record.’ Immediately I knew what he was doing because we just finished the Mariah record.” Read more.
