Mariah Carey signs with Jay Z's Roc Nation
|
Pop diva Mariah Carey is hoping Jay-Z's Roc Nation team will help put her back on top. Page Six has exclusively learned that she's signing with Roc Nation to manage her career after firing former manager Stella Bulochnikov earlier this month.
"Mariah's cleaning house. She is getting legitimate people, assistants, a lawyer, and Stella is not happy about it," an insider told us. Sources previously told us that Carey's backup-dancer boy toy Bryan Tanaka had taken over as her manager, but his role is creative director.
"Previously, there were all kinds of people involved in her career and Mariah didn't even know those people. She had to distance herself from all that and she's now cleaning house, the source said.

This is good news. As others have pointed out, Jay-Z and Roc Nation fit the target audience for hip-hop and R&B. But most importantly, when Jay-Z drops new material, products or music, you don't see him everywhere promoting it, but it still gets promoted. I think Mariah is on exactly the same page. She fell out with Benny, Randy and JD as managers because they were all on the "you need to make the rounds" old school mentality. Clearly, Mariah has no interest in getting on the hamster wheel and doing the hustle. She's been there, done that. She's at a stage of life where she wants to be able to record quality material, make a few quality appearances in support of it, and have marketing do some heavy pushing. Quality over quantity (she is especially in need of quality after Stella). I think Jay-Z gets that, so I'm optimistic about this pairing.
