It’s safe to say iconic songstress Mariah Carey is the queen of shade.
Renowned for her legendary vocals and smash hit tunes, Mimi is also known to have a lot to say about others in the industry while unapologetically speaking her mind.
But it seems there are some celebs that haven’t taken Mariah’s disses lying down.

And as a result, several have sparked feuds with the Queen of Christmas, Mariah, herself.
From Hollywood party bust-ups to television spats, the showbiz legend is not afraid to make a few enemies.
So, as Mariah celebrates her birthday on Monday (March 27) Daily Star is taking a look inside at her biggest feuds.

Mariah and Jennifer Lopez’s famous feud began way back in the early 2000s when Mariah was asked her thoughts on J.Lo and Beyoncé.
After saying nothing but nice things about Beyoncé, Mariah quipped “I don’t know her” in response to Jennifer.
Since then, rumours of an alleged feud between the two stars have swirled, as well as the iconic meme that still to this date lives on.
Fast forward to 2014, and during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Jennifer was asked straight up about her relationship with Mariah.
“I don’t have a feud against her at all,” she told host Andy.
“I know from back in the day that she’s said things about me that were not the greatest, but we have never met. We don’t know each other. I think it’s kind of like from word of mouth or things that have happened in the past that I’m not really aware of, but I don’t know.”

Rapper Nicki Minaj appeared alongside Mariah on the 12th series of American Idol back in 2013.
The two had previously worked together, having collaborated on the 2009 tune Up Out My Face.
However, their relationship took a turn for the worse when they appeared on the American Idol judging panel.
And throughout the season, the musicians would get into some pretty ugly spats, constantly yelling at one another right in the middle of critiquing aspiring superstars.
However, things took a major turn when Nicki allegedly threatened to shoot Mariah over her criticism – which Nicki denied.

Demi, who is no stranger to sharing her thoughts, hit out at Mariah in 2016 – after Mariah claimed to be “better” than Ariana Grande.
The ex-Disney singer commented on a post: “Mariah is a legend and is so talented but consistently disses people. . . It’s nasty the way she treats Jennifer [Lopez].”
Then a few months later and while on Watch What Happens Live, host Andy brought up the beef with Demi.
Mariah simply replied with her apparent catchphrase: “I don’t know her either.
“And so I wouldn’t say anything to her. She should come up, introduce herself to me, say, ‘Here’s my opinion, what do you think about it?’ That’s how you handle s***, okay?”

The feud between Eminem and Mimi goes back to the early 2000s when he claimed that he and Carey dated for six months.
Mariah, however, denied that they were ever romantically involved and years later Slim Shady released a savage track about her and her then-hubby Nick Cannon.
But Mariah didn’t let Eminem have the last say, as in 2009 she released the iconic tune Obsessed.
And in the video for the Top Ten smash hit, Mariah dressed up as a hooded stalker which everyone assumed was her channeling Eminem.

Back in 2006, Genie In A Bottle singer Christina claimed Maria was “never cool” with her.
She told GQ: “One time, we were at a party and I think she got really drunk, and she had just really derogatory things to say to me.”
Christina did suggest Mariah “might have been very medicated” as it was “at that time that she had that breakdown”.
She also told Allure about Mariah: “She hasn’t been nice to me, no. But honestly, I don’t want to give her any more attention by even talking about it.”
Mariah hit back by saying Christina had turned up at her party uninvited, but added: “It is in my heart to forgive and I will keep her in my prayers.”
Christina would later appear to regret her words, saying she had “all the respect in the world” for Mariah.
She told PopSugar: “My intentions were not to upset Mariah with any statements that were published or taken out of context.”
