Pop superstar Mariah Carey revealed to Rock magazine that she didn't have the money to get enough food as a kid.
Mariah Carey may be one of the most successful pop singers of all time, but there was a time when she didn't have enough food to eat. The 38-year-old told Rocks magazine that she didn't have the money to get enough food. "I didn't have the money to get... even really enough food," she said of her childhood.
Carey was raised by a single mommy. She said that "the need for bare necessities" drove her to stardom. "From the time I was little, I had such a huge desire, and such an enormous ambition," said the singer who married boyfriend
Nick Cannon in May.
The "Touch My Body" singer also said that her hubby is her soul mate because Nick reminds her of her mom. Carey explained her husband has an upbeat attitude, thus he can make a bad situation good.
"When I was a kid there was an ice storm in the suburbs...We went to Manhattan to stay with a friend of my mom's. There was nobody on the road. It was this moment that could've been scary for a kid, but she made it festive," Carey revealed. The singer further insisted how her hubby comforts her like her mother, saying "That's what Nick is like. He takes the hard part of a situation and makes it celebratory."
