Mariah Carey has brushed aside concerns from fans after once again being overlooked by the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
The chart-topping singer was not included among this year’s inductees, marking the third consecutive year she has missed out. The decision sparked frustration among supporters, many of whom argue her commercial success, songwriting catalogue and vocal influence make her a clear candidate.
However, Carey herself appears unfazed. In a video shared by TMZ, she addressed the snub directly when asked whether it bothered her.
When questioned if she “cares” about not being inducted, the We Belong Together star replied bluntly: “No!”
