Mariah Carey's three-word response to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding goes viral
The singer, 56, was asked about her thoughts on the billionaire Amazon founder's $50million nuptials over the weekend, and her reply was interpreted by some fans as subtle shade.
'What did you think about Jeff Bezos ' wedding?' a photographer questioned the We Belong Together hitmaker as she walked down the street, in a clip that's gone viral on X.
'I wasn't there,' the Grammy winner replied, with fans quickly comparing the response to Mariah's infamous 'I don't know her' quote back in 2003, in regards to music rival Jennifer Lopez.
Mariah was then asked: 'Were you not invited or what?'
She graciously chuckled and replied, 'Oh, don't turn this into that.'
Fans were left amused by her reply, with one writing, 'I don't think she knows them [crying emoji].'
Carey coined the seemingly dismissive phrase in 2003 when she was asked on her thoughts about Lopez. Smiling, she simply replied, 'I don't know her.'
One fan left a meme of her saying the quote underneath the new video.
'Who? What wedding she doesn't know it,' another person added with a laughing emoji.
'Her saying I wasn't there she clearly knows who he is come on,' someone else added with another crying out laughing emoji.
'Love she had a sense of humor about it.'
Mariah cut a stylish figure, wearing a long-sleeve black top with blue jeans and open-toe black platform heels for the outing.
She wore her long blonde tresses in a side ponytail and shielded her eyes with a pair of sunglasses.
Jeff and his bride exchanged vows at the most lavish celebrity wedding for a generation, attended by the world's most famous stars.
Though Mariah wasn't at the star-studded three-day wedding extravaganza, the nuptials were attended by numerous A-listers.
Among the 200 VIP guests was Sydney Sweeney, Kim Kardashian, her sister Kylie Jenner as well as mom Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner, and Orlando Bloom.
As the world's wealthiest men and women gathered in a 16th-century basilica at Giorgio Maggiore island to celebrate the Amazon mogul's nuptials, they brought together a total wealth of more than $461billion.
They included tech billionaires, reality TV dynasties and legends of film and TV - who danced away among the glittering Venetian canals until the early hours of this morning.
Reportedly costing $20million and stirring fury among the local residents, stars were treated to a $1,000-a-head meal while there was a strict no-phone policy at the 'extremely intimate' affair.
The celebration continued this past weekend as the couple spent their 'honeymoon' partying on a yacht with recently split couple, Katy Perry and Orlando, in Capri.
Meanwhile Mariah showed off her jaw-dropping weight loss during a trip to Disneyland this weekend.
In a nod to her surroundings, she wore a pair of Minnie Mouse ears with oversized sunglasses as she shielded herself from the sun.
Known for her diva ways, Mariah was assisted by an aide who held an umbrella over her head to prevent the sun beating down.
Earlier this month, the hitmaker then sat down with DJs Ebro Darden and Zane Lowe to chat in LA, where she teased her upcoming sixteenth studio album.
It marks her first LP in eight years and first since partnering with new music company Gamma for her comeback, after leaving label Epic Records, who released her last album Caution in 2018.
Last month, Mariah released the lead single, Type Dangerous, which debuted at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Chatting to Zane and Ebro, she teased: 'What is next? Well it's the album coming out! I don't want tell too much about it because I just don't want to reveal the whole thing.'
However, the All I Want For Christmas star confirmed that the album was finished and would be made up of '11 or 12 songs', before adding: 'We got some Mariah ballads' to cheers from the crowd.
She continued: 'Second single is coming soon, I've very excited about it. It's very summery, I like the beat as well'.
According to Forbes, the songstress, who has 19 number one singles, is aiming to get her 20th chart topper with Type Dangerous.

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet respond to breakup rumors as they reunite at Budapest coffee shop
KYLIE Jenner and Timothee Chalamet have responded to breakup rumors as they reunited at a Budapest coffee shop. It comes as the Hollywood power couple recently had fans speculating they could be going their separate ways after some "tell tale signs". 6 6 Kylie, 28, and Timothee, 29, who have been dating since 2023, put any rumors of a break-up to bed when they reunited after 45 days apart. The last time the couple were spotted together was on a yacht on July 5, in St Tropez, France. But now they are back together, after the youngest Kardashians star went to visit her man in Budapest, where he is currently filming Dune 3. Kylie and Timothee thrilled two employees at a local coffee shop, when they took a picture with them. Proving they were definitely still a couple, they posed happily with the star struck fans. Posting on the Instagram page for Budapest Baristas, one of the employees wrote: "Today Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet just walked in to our coffeeshop at Buda we were so in confusion, we could barley concentrate, but i think you can see on our face." The happy couple faced split rumours after Timothee was noticeably absent from Kylie's 28th birthday recently. She then posted on Instagram that she had been listening to break-up anthems, including Jeff Buckley's Lover, You Should've Come Over and Labi Saffre's Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying. Fans recognised she did this just before after her split with Travis Scott, and believed it was a sign that she has called time with Timothee. Sharing theories on Reddit, one fan wrote: 'Obviously could mean nothing, but I don't post break up songs casually myself. Hoping it's nothing though!!' Timothee Chalamet's sister Pauline throws new jab at Kylie Jenner as she slams 'wealth' in furious post This prompted another to write: 'Oof, the first sign of her breakup with Travis was random breakup songs. Could be nothing, she's still following him… 'Edit: yeah I interpret the song as a man messing up, but he still wants to be with his (ex?) lover. Definitely a yearning thing.' However, others thought it might not be a sign of a split, with one noting: 'Could actually be a suggestion by Timothee especially since a Jeff Buckley documentary just came out today.' 'But then she posted the 2nd breakup song from another artist (she actually posted it twice to tell us she's actually listening to it 😭)' noted another. "Not saying they did, but everything is calculated with Kylie. She knows what people are going to assume." "this song has been trending on tiktok for at least the last month," noted another. "i don't think it's anything more than that" But thanks to their Budapest selfie, fans will be pleased to know that Hollywood's young power couple, are very much together.

Jermaine Jenas makes rare public appearance following his BBC axe and marital split as he attends the GRM Gala after claiming the channel 'took away his life' amid sexting scandal
Jermaine Jenas made a rare public appearance following his axe by BBC bosses last year as he attended the glitzy GRM gala on Tuesday. The event, which is hosted by the magazine of the same name and celebrates black British culture and UK-based rap and grime artists, took place at London's Hurlingham Club. As Jermaine slowly begins to relaunch his career with a string of podcast appearances, the presenter was joined by boxer Derek Chisora at the event. The pair beamed as they posed for snaps together, joining stars including Alesha Dixon and Ella Eyre at the event. Jermaine - who was capped 21 times by his country between 2003 and 2009 - was dismissed by BBC bosses in August 2024 over allegations of workplace misconduct after sending explicit texts to two female employees. While at the time Jermaine said he and wife Ellie Penfold, who married in 2011, hoped to work through their marital troubles, the couple eventually split in March this year. The presenter later admitted the break-up wasn't his call as he grovelled for forgiveness before accepting his fate. The ex-footballer is now trying to rebuild his career with a series of podcast appearances and continues to open up on the scandal that ended a promising partnership between himself and the BBC, which cost him his £190,000 salary. He also revealed he has opened up his own production company - which has helped open new doors for his career, addressing the fact that he wasn't allowed to do certain things while employed by the BBC in what has become his previous life. But Jenas has now admitted how much he really lost through the episode, and revealed the promise he made to himself when the decision was made to let him go. Speaking to Reece Mennie on his podcast, he said: 'Having worked in the media for the last ten years, and having been through what I've been through for the last year, been a really difficult moment for myself and my family what happened which I have always held up my hand and taken full responsibility for, that's very important to do. 'You go through a lot of different emotions of anger and blame, but eventually you realise: "Take responsibility, Jermaine, and you'll be able to move forward." 'Because of their ability to take away my life, in terms of every deal I had, the jobs that I had at that particular time, I said that is never happening to me again, so I've recently set up my own production company. 'My agency that I had at the time weren't that supportive of it. 'This is not their fault, but when you're in this kind of media bubble where you work for the BBC, there are so many walls in terms of what they want you to do and what you're not allowed to do. 'Betting companies want to work with me because I'm in football; BBC hate that because of the issues to do with gambling in general, so they block all of that. 'So there were a lot of blocks on one side and football was bringing me some stuff, but the reality is that it ALL got wiped out. It all got taken away.' Penfold was left 'raging' and kicked the former Tottenham Hotspur star out of their bedroom at their £1million family home when it was revealed he had sent explicit messages to two members of staff at the BBC. Jenas confessed to lying to Penfold, who describes herself as a 'wife and mother' in her Instagram bio, during a family holiday to Spain when he sneaked off to talk to his bosses about the messages. The former England star admitted sending the texts but insists he has done nothing illegal. He denied ever sending indecent images or videos and said the messages were between consenting adults, one of whom 'made it clear she was interested'. However Jenas said he is 'ashamed' and 'deeply sorry' as he apologised for his conduct. He revealed he was fired in an excruciating video call - while he was on a family holiday in Marbella, Spain, with his wife and their three children. Jenas slammed this as 'grim', having to 'sit there and listen to what you've said' as four people on the Zoom call read out his inappropriate text messages. He said he went on to lie to his wife after being informed of the allegations to 'find a way out of this mess'. Ellie broke her silence on events at the launch of her new personal care brand Preppy in November. She said: 'My only focus has been on our children and building my brand Preppy. Now I just want to move forward. 'Naturally this has been hard for me but my only concern has been our children and that will not change.' The news of Jenas's sacking came moments before he went live on air on talkSPORT radio. He returned to punditry work last month, saying on talkSPORT his conduct was 'wildly inappropriate'. He continued: 'I made a mistake. It was a mistake that is something that me and my wife and my family have to deal with. 'I think that the big thing here is that your career is one thing. I worked 10 years post-retirement from being a footballer and I can take it as far back as I want from starting from nothing to becoming a footballer to getting myself in a very fortunate position to work on television. 'It's a lot of hard work that you put into the job, but at the same time, it can be taken away from you like that. That's one thing that I've recognised.' Speaking on the Filthy Fellas podcast of the split, meanwhile, Jenas said: 'It was her decision and one that I had to accept. If it was up to me - and I think a lot of men are like this - I'd probably be prepared to be unhappy for the rest of my life if [it meant] I had my kids in it. 'It's a man thing. If I wake up with my kids everyday, I'm quite happy to sacrifice the happiness. The reality is, we were both in a position where we like: "Are we really happy"? 'From her side of things, she's probably ran the course much more than me. But I was much more happy to go: "I'll be unhappy if I can stay in this house with you and these kids". But it wasn't to be for her and we went our separate ways. 'She has understood the scenario that we've been in as a family. Kids first is our motto. We have to be the best parents we can possibly be. So I've been spending so much time at home. 'Not loads has changed really, it's just mine and her relationship has gone into more of a friendship than a relationship. 'I do believe there is going to come a moment where I'm sat in my apartment one day and be like: "This is mad. I had my whole family around me every single day. [Now] I'm not hearing that pitter patter of feet." 'That's going to be the tough side of it. But that's part of dealing with the situation. The reality is, me and my wife didn't split up because I sent some text messages to some people at work. 'We had issues for a period of time and it all comes to a head. Eventually, you make a decision to say, as adults: "We will be better parents for our children if we remain friends". We had 16 amazing years together. She's a great woman.'
