Pop Icon Mariah Carey’s Cheeky Act Kicked Up Her Rivalry With Jennifer Lopez in the Same Year as Her First Ever Alex Rodriguez Encounter

Although Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter, two of the most significant figures in baseball, are on good terms, there was a time when the two former MLB stars shared a beef with each other. Notably, their beef is not a secret to any baseball fan. But only a few people are aware of yet another feud between their ex-girlfriends, Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey. A dispute that started more than two decades ago does not seem to get over any time.

Therefore, the singers in almost every interview always got asked a question or two about the other. And that used to put them in the headlines all over again. Something similar happened in the year 2005. The Songbird Supreme, Mariah Carey, was asked about wanting to do a duet with the Hustler actress. It was the same year when Lopez met her ex-fiance, Alex Rodriguez, for the first time.

What did Mariah Carey say in response to wanting to do a duet?

In the most enigmatic way possible, Jeter’s dream girl straight off answered the question, which sent the room into a burst of hysterical laughter.

The singer seemed to be sitting in what looked like a recording studio when she got asked, “would you ever do a duet with JLo?” Giving it a thought of less than a second, the singer replied, “a duet? I mean, I’m not sure how that would sound.”

And yet again, the feud continued with Carey throwing shade over her bitter rival, Jennifer Lopez. Since then, there have been many instances where the two singers have said such bitter words about each other or made headlines with their ambiguous actions. And Lopez, in one of her interviews, has also talked about she is a fan of Carey’s.

How did Lopez and Rodriguez meet for the first time?

Before the ex-couple’s coincidental run in 2017, they had met earlier in 2005. During her visit to the Shea Stadium in Queens, NYC, Lopez with then-husband Marc Anthony had met A-Rod during a Mets vs Yankees game. About her first meeting with Rodriguez, she has said that with the handshake she had felt a spark between the two.
