Mariah Carey wants to make one thing clear to everyone: when she called Meghan Markle a diva earlier this week, she 100 percent meant it as a compliment! Ha!
As we previously reported, things got a bit tense during Tuesdays episode of Meghan’s Archetypes podcast when Mariah pointed out the 41-year-old’s diva ways. The Hero artist quickly called out Meghan when the duchess said she did not “connect” with that “persona” on the show, saying:
Whoa! Only Mariah has the guts to say that to the woman’s face!

The comment immediately had taken Meghan aback, even getting her “squirming in my chair in this quiet revolt,” as she later narrated on the podcast. She went on to say at the time:
But on Friday, the Elusive Chanteuse took to Twitter to address the awkward podcast moment, saying she only called Meghan a diva in the most “empowering meaning of the word” possible! Mariah wrote:
Yesss!!!
On the podcast, the Duchess of Sussex noted she immediately had some “nervous laughter” after she thought Mariah was trying to get in a “dig” by calling her a diva. But quickly, Meghan said the Queen of Christmas “jumped right in to make sure I was crystal clear that when she said diva, she was talking about the way I dress, the posture, the clothing” — and not her personality. Mariah explained at the time:
Time and time again, the word gets thrown around in such a negative way — so it’s nice to see someone always embracing it in such a positive light. And you know, it kind of makes sense that the 53-year-old Grammy winner sees “diva” as complimentary. For her, it’s game recognize game! Ha!
