Mariah Carey Addresses Whether She Does “Know” Jennifer Lopez 22 Years After Viral Interview

Mariah Carey reaffirms she does not truly know Jennifer Lopez despite meeting years ago, clarifying a viral comment that became a lasting pop culture meme.

  • On October 1, Mariah Carey told Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen she still does not know Jennifer Lopez during her appearance on the television program.
  • The 2003 interview that started it all saw Mariah Carey say she did not know Jennifer Lopez during a 2003 German television interview, creating a meme lexicon for more than 15 years.
  • She clarified that meeting someone is not the same as knowing them, saying, "I mean, the thing is, I was being honest when I said it, so I don't know how it became so big," Carey said in the audience interview context.
  • Lopez has responded by saying they have met many times and she previously told Andy Cohen she did not view a real feud, welcoming meeting and friendship.
  • Even decades later, Carey’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on November 2 shows the topic still resurfaces amid ongoing speculation.
