Mariah Carey Reacts to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Snub

Mariah Carey isn’t pining over a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame fantasy. 

After the “Fantasy” singer was snubbed for the third time from the music honor based out of the Cleveland, Ohio museum, she told TMZ whether she is upset about the snub, saying in an April 20 interview, “No, period.”

“Who cares?” Mariah continued. “Give it to someone else. Fantastic.”

Indeed, while the 57-year-old’s fans were fiercely defending her exclusion from this year’s list—which included Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan and more—she emphasized she isn’t sad to miss the upcoming induction ceremony, which will take place in November. 

Still, she was grateful her Lambily was stepping up for her, adding, “I love my fans always.”

Of course, Mariah’s fans have plenty of room for complaints, as the “Obsessed” singer was shut out of the honor following her latest nomination alongside other shut-out 2026 nominees like Pink and Lauryn Hill. (Although the five-time Grammy winner was previously nominated in 2021 and 2023, she has not yet earned an official spot on the list).
