The Truth About Whitney Houston And Mariah Carey's Feud

May 2024 · 2 minute read

This fascination with the two divas led producers of the movie Prince of Egypt to pair them up. So Houston and Carey recorded the song "When You Believe." Many fans took the song's lyrics to heart — and perhaps as proof, Houston and Carey gushed over each other during the press tour. They both denied there was ever a rivalry between them.

The Grio reports Carey got to know Houston better while recording the duet and they had a great time working together. Later on, Carey complained about the music industry and the press's need to pit women against other, saying something needs to change. After all, that was how the supposed feud began between Houston and Carey.

When Houston died in 2012, Carey attended the service in Houston's hometown of Newark, N.J. In the days that followed, Carey said it was still hard to think of Houston's death. According to Rolling Stone, she said "I don't think people could ever really understand our relationship. There was always this supposed rivalry in the beginning and then we did the duet and became friends ... I loved her."

Carey has had a few feuds over the years, including one with Jennifer Lopez that has just gone on for too long now. But she swears up and down, there was nothing but love between her and Houston. They may be divas with incredibly powerful voices but behind the media whirlwind, they were also friends.
