Mariah Carey 'well and truly outranked' by London hotel guest
Mariah Carey's presence was overshadowed by another guest at her London hotel.
Mariah Carey was "very much the support act" during her recent stay at a London hotel.
The 56-year-old pop star stayed in an upmarket hotel in Central London - but Mariah's presence was overshadowed by another guest, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Zelensky’s entourage made Mariah look tiny by comparison.
"She was well and truly outranked on the luxury ladder.
"Mariah is used to being number one wherever she goes – but this time, she was very much the support act."
The Ukrainian President was "given the royal treatment" during his stay at the plush hotel.
The insider said: "Zelensky’s security detail made it clear this wasn’t your average celebrity check-in and he was given the royal treatment during his stay."
Meanwhile, Mariah previously confessed to being "high-maintenance".
The chart-topping star thinks she's actually earned the right to be "high-maintenance", having already been through, and achieved, so much in her life.
Asked if she thinks she's high-maintenance, Mariah told the Guardian newspaper: "You know what? I don’t give a s***.
"I f****** am high-maintenance because I deserve to be at this point. That may sound arrogant, but I hope you frame it within the context of coming from nothing.
"If I can’t be high-maintenance after working my a** off my entire life, oh, I’m sorry – I didn’t realize we all had to be low-maintenance. Hell, no! I was always high-maintenance, it’s just I didn’t have anyone to do the maintenance when I was growing up!"
Mariah doesn't have any qualms with being called a "diva" either.
The pop star insists she doesn't worry about what people are saying about her.
Mariah - who is one of the best-selling artists of all time - said: "Who the f*** cares?
"Honestly! ‘Oh my God, they’re calling me a diva – I think I’m going to cry!’ You think in the grand scheme of things in my life that really matters to me, being called a diva? I am, b******, that’s right!"
