Mariah Carey Stops By GMA To Kick Off The Holiday Season

Mariah Carey, celebrated for her remarkable vocal range, has firmly established her legacy in the music industry. She has captured the affection of her fans as the undisputed “Queen of Christmas.” Upholding her legendary stature, Carey made a special appearance on Good Morning America today, heralding the onset of the festive season.

Mariah Carey On GMA

In the 90s, Mariah Carey’s endearing anthem “All I Want for Christmas Is You” captivated audiences and soared in popularity, securing its status as a holiday celebration staple. The song has since been featured in many holiday movie soundtracks and even inspired an animated film named after it. On Good Morning America this Monday, November 6th, Mariah Carey shared the origin story of how this now-legendary track came into being, along with other news.

Origins of a Classic

Carey recounts that the song was born from a moment of inspiration, with her reflections and her Casio keyboard. According to the songstress, seated at her piano, she contemplated the personal significance of Christmas, asking herself,

“What do I love, what do I want, what do I dream of?”

This introspection set a classic in motion.

Carey on Fulfilling a Goal

We often underestimate the profound effect that even the slightest creative endeavor can have. For Carey, this tune has resonated across generations. According to Carey, the song did exactly what she was hoping it would.

“Her goal was to do something timeless, which didn’t seem like the 90s when she wrote it.”

The song fulfilled her ambition. Predicting the triumph of any creative piece is challenging, but pouring passion into one’s work can yield extraordinary results. And the success of Carey’s song stands as proof. The immense success of the song is credited not only to Carey’s artistry but also to her genuine passion for the holiday season.

Carey’s Other Announcement

Mariah Carey’s segment on Good Morning America wasn’t just a nostalgic journey through her holiday hit. She also took the opportunity to talk about her imminent tour, a chance to sprinkle Christmas joy globally. In Carey’s own words,

“I know nothing is perfect, but here’s me trying to reach out and give you the merriest of Christmases.”

And she’s not doing it alone. She’s also making this tour a family affair, taking her children along. Carey was particularly enthusiastic about her daughter’s participation in the tour, sharing her excitement with the audience.

Celebration Time

Fans of Mariah Carey received an additional surprise during her time on Good Morning America. The iconic singer revealed that she has been dedicating time to creating new music, a piece of news that will undoubtedly excite her fanbase.

YK Osiris Robbed By Car Thieves During The Holiday Weekend

YK Osiris was robbed of $5,000 worth of clothes by car thieves. He has had a pretty bad Christmas this year.

Last night (December 26), Osiris documented the aftermath of the crime via his Instagram Stories, posting a video of his black SUV showing several of its windows smashed, as well as a photo of the breached vehicle with the caption, “Damn.”

“Man, these n-ggas want to break in my shit,” Osiris can be heard saying in the clip. “Y’all n-ggas dumb, man. Y’all n-ggas so dumb y’all took like five thousand worth of clothes. Come on, man. Y’all n-ggas playas, baby. We playas. What you breaking into my car for?”

Even though valuable garments were stolen and his car needed repairs, YK Osiris doesn’t seem too bothered by the whole ordeal. In another Instagram Story, he shrugged it off, writing, “I’m not even mad but damn lol. ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS BIG BRO.’”

Osiris has had pretty bad luck over this holiday season. Last week, he lost a $325,000 earring. He offered a $60,000 reward for its recovery.

“I really lost one of my earrings I’m sick,” Osiris wrote in a series of Instagram Stories. “Please if anybody find my other earring can you return them please. I’m never getting another pair again I can’t believe this shit.”

On top of all of this, Osiris is also drowning in debt. He has $5,000 debt for Lil Baby, $1,200 to Boosie Badazz, and a massive $60,000 to Drake. Osiris was able to clean the debt with Drake. When he went to Drake’s Toronto mansion, he was able to sing his 2019 hit, “Worth It”, to pay off the debt.

Tory Lanez Gives Away $100k In Gifts For The Holidays

Tory Lanez is in a very giving mood this holiday.

Lanez did a Christmas giveaway for single mothers and children in Broward County, Florida. The giveaway took place on Wednesday, December 22nd. 

Tory plays Santa Claus for the needy

Dressed in a Santa hat and face mask, he pulled up and donated $100,000 in gifts. The gifts included bikes, Barbies, lightsabers, LEGOs, and other cool toys, TMZ reports. Lanez also handed out snacks and conversed with those he donated items to, pretty dope.

He took to Twitter to express his gratitude to TMZ for reporting his good deed saying,

“Look how long this line is. The whole Broward Boulevard on State Road 7 is backed up,” he said in his Instagram stories. “We here. It’s a huge success and I’m just happy that we could spread love and light to people who don’t have on Christmas day.” 

Lanez continued saying he’s happy that his money went toward something impactful rather than a diamond necklace.

“It’s just good to give back and I’m just happy that my $100,000 could go into something that’s more meaningful than a chain…”

In the video, he also made it a point to mention that everything is “Covid safe” during the giveaway. 

Tory’s battle with the law

Tory Lanez shows no sign of letting the drama surrounding his name stop him. The rapper is consistently in the media for his case with Megan Thee Stallion. He allegedly shot Megan in the foot, leading to gun and felony assault charges. His trial is scheduled to start on January 13, 2022.

The Rapper Brings Us a New Album and New Visuals

On a lighter note, Lanez is enjoying the fruits of his labor. His new album, Alone at Prom, was released on December 10th. The album is an ode to the 1980s, with slow tracks that sound like the era. It debuted at No. 59 on the Billboard 200 charts. Check out his video for the song “’87 Stingray” from Alone at Prom below.
