Singer Mariah Carey has raised concerns among her fans following a speech that appeared ‘slurred’ at an awards event. The 55-year-old music icon was presented with the Icon Award at the iHeartRadio Awards in Los Angeles. During her acceptance speech, some fans questioned Carey’s well-being, noting a change in her demeanor.
While receiving the award from rapper LL Cool J, Carey light-heartedly commented on the stage lighting before expressing gratitude and remembering her late mother, Patricia. Tragically, Patricia passed away last year, coinciding with the death of Carey’s sister, Alison. The emotional toll of these losses was evident in Carey’s speech as she paid tribute to her mother for instilling a love of music in her.
Fans took to social media to express their worries, speculating on the possible reasons behind Carey’s speech. Some attributed her demeanor to the recent family tragedies, acknowledging the impact of losing both her mother and sister on the same day. Others mentioned her breakup with dancer Bryan Tanaka after a seven-year relationship as a potential factor affecting her well-being.
Supporters of Carey expressed concern for her health and well-being, hoping that she receives the necessary support during this challenging time. The Mirror has reached out to Carey’s representatives for any comments on the situation.
