Mariah Carey plans to adapt her best-selling memoir
Mariah Carey is working on an adaptation of her memoir.
The 52-year-old singer released her best-selling memoir, ‘The Meaning of Mariah Carey’, in 2020, and Mariah has revealed that it could eventually be transformed into a film series.
Speaking about her initial ambitions for her memoir, Mariah told ‘The Bobby Bones Show’: “I want to emancipate my … my little girl self that nobody knew, that nobody understood, that was different, that was other, that didn’t really have a category that people understood. So, that was out goal and now it’s out on paperback.
“But the first … the most exciting moment was when it became an instant number one New York Times best-selling book. So, I’m now working on figuring out the adaptation for that, whether it’s going to be a scripted series or a series of movies. And I’m talking to … I can’t tell the whole thing now, but that’s my next project and I can’t wait.”
Meanwhile, Mariah previously confessed to being “high-maintenance”.
However, the chart-topping star insisted that she’s not changed over the years, despite having a modest start in life.
Asked about her reputation, the ‘We Belong Together’ hitmaker – who has 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with her ex-husband Nick Cannon – explained: “You know what? I don’t give a s***. I f****** am high-maintenance because I deserve to be at this point.
“That may sound arrogant, but I hope you frame it within the context of coming from nothing. If I can’t be high-maintenance after working my a** off my entire life, oh, I’m sorry – I didn’t realise we all had to be low-maintenance. Hell, no!
“I was always high-maintenance, it’s just I didn’t have anyone to do the maintenance when I was growing up!”
