Who Are Mariah Carey’s Parents? Details About Their Relationship

In her memoir, Mariah, wrote, “My father identified as a Black man. No one asked him because he was clearly Black. But people always ask me. If we were together, people would look at us in a really strange way. As a little girl, I had blonde hair and they’d look at me, look at him, and be disgusted.”

“I understand people want to hold on to their roots,” she continued. “But for me, I was a complete nonentity because of it. Maybe that was part of my drive to succeed. I’ll become accepted.”
