Mariah Carey announces to fans she will be taking a break from social media.
After taking what was to be said the biggest L of 2016, Mariah Carey is ready to throw in the towel when it comes to social media.
During her NYE performance in Times Square, Mariah caught backlash for failing to actually sing while on stage. Since the performance, the media has been in a frenzy over the incident, and it all must have taken it’s toll on the RNB singer.
In a recent audio message via Twitter, Carey stated:
“I haven’t really addressed the situation that happened on New Year’s Eve, and in time I will, but for now I want everyone to know that I came to New Year’s Eve in New York in great spirits and I was looking forward to a celebratory moment with the world,” she said. “It’s a shame we were put into the hands of a production team with technical issues who chose to capitalize on circumstances beyond our control.”
She went on to say, “It’s not practical for a singer to sing live and be able to hear themselves properly in the middle of Times Square with all the noise, the freezing cold, the smoke from the smoke machines, thousands of people celebrating — especially when their ear monitors were not working at all. Listen, guys. They spoiled me. Thus, it turned into an opportunity to humiliate me and all those excited to ring in the new year with me.”
The diva also added that while her “feelings are hurt,” she’s very thankful for the support from her family, friends, and fans.
“I’m gonna take a break from media moments, social media moments,” she said. “Although I am going to fulfill my professional obligations. This is an important time for me to finally take a moment for myself, to be with my loved ones, and to prepare for my upcoming tour in March.”
