Mariah Carey Voices Frustration That Her Lawyer Got Into The Rock Hall Of Fame Before Her

Maria Carey was finally nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time this past year, even though the 5-time Grammy winner has been eligible for nearly a decade. Carey, whose 19 Billboard No. 1 hits trails only the Beatles’ 20 chart-toppers, spoke out about being snubbed by the Rock Hall in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times. “My thoughts are: I didn’t get in,” Carey said. “Everybody was calling me going, ‘I think you’re getting in!’ and so I was excited about it. But then it didn’t happen. My lawyer got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before me.” Carey’s famous lawyer, Allen Grubman, is one of the founders of the Rock Hall and has also represented Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, and Elton John. Grubman was inducted in 2022 when he was presented with the Ahmet Ertegun Award. (Consequence of Sound)
