Mariah Carey thinks returning to the Brooklyn crowd to greet Rihanna midshow is going to change how she's seen.
The Queen of Christmas, 55, was speaking of the popular moment she recently shared with the Fenty Beauty founder, 35, raising that she can't be called a diva anymore following that interaction.
“I was like, ‘You cannot call me a diva again because I'm literally backing down the stairs,’” Carey told People Magazine of the moment from the last show of her Christmas Time tour.
“That was hilarious,” Carey added of seeing Rihanna in attendance. “I had heard that Rihanna was coming to the show, but I didn't think she was going to be in the actual crowd. She was fun.”
For the unversed, Carey was set to perform Always Be My Baby when she left the stage to go into the audience and take selfies with her fans. Just when she was walking back up to the stage, a security guard spoke to her on the stage and she descended back into the crowd to greet Rihanna this time and also gave her an autograph.
"Mariah Carey is signing my tit," the Diamond hitmaker shouted excitedly into Carey's microphone during the December 17 show.
In her chat with the publication, Carey also revealed whether or not she’s “sick of” Christmas music yet.
“I'm in Aspen, and right now Oh, Santa is playing over the speakers, and I'm like, ‘I guess I'm not sick of it,’” she answered.
