Mariah Carey Discusses Grammy Recognition Issues

Mariah Carey has expressed her frustration over her limited Grammy wins during a recent episode of the Las Culturistas podcast, claiming that the Recording Academy has 'toyed' with her throughout her career. Despite receiving 34 nominations, Carey has only won five Grammys, with her last nomination occurring in 2009. She noted the lack of recognition for her acclaimed 1997 album Butterfly, which she considers her best work, stating it received no accolades. Carey humorously remarked on the disparity between her commercial success, including 19 number-one hits, and the Academy's acknowledgment. In February 2024, she received the Global Impact Award from the Recording Academy, further highlighting the irony of her Grammy history. Fans continue to support her, emphasizing her worth beyond awards.
