Mariah didn’t take the news too well after she was told she wouldn’t be sitting with US President Barack Obama’s family during his inauguration.
She had performed at a ball to celebrate Obama being sworn in but apparently was stunned when she found out she had to sit with other celebrities during Tuesday’s (20.01.09) ceremony! Of course she was stunned, she is a true DIVA, how dare they put her with other celebs… she is special… more special than the rest of them.
A source said:
“Mariah was in the VIP area, where every celebrity, like Jon Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Bruce Springsteen, was seated. But somehow she thought she’d be up with the Obama family. When she realized she wasn’t, she bailed.”
If she really did bail because the seating arrangements weren’t to her liking, then that is scandalous.
Rapper P. Diddy – who was so delighted to see Obama become America’s first African-American President he blew kisses at him as he was being sworn in – was also said to be unhappy with the ceremony, because he wasn’t asked to perform while rapper Jay-Z was.
Diddy’s rep has denied the allegations, saying:
“It was one of the greatest moments of his life. Sean was invited to the inauguration and was seated third row, with Jay-Z, at the ceremony.”
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, Mariah was just being Mariah, and we ALL know she is tuned into a different channel than the rest of us. Shame for her that President Obama’s people weren’t dialed in!
