Mariah Carey is signing with the management arm of JAY-Z’s Roc Nation, according to Page Six.
The publication reports that Carey is hoping the move will help her regain some of her shine and comes shortly after she fired her former manager, Stella Bulochnikov, earlier this month.
“[Mariah’s] cleaning house,” an anonymous souce told Page Six. “She is getting legitimate people, assistants, a lawyer, and Stella is not happy about it.”
Page Six previously reported that Carey’s backup dancer, Bryan Tanaka, had taken over as her day-to-day manager, though it has since been confirmed that his role is as the singer’s creative director.
“Previously, there were all kinds of people involved [in her career] and Mariah didn’t even know those people,” the source later added. “She had to distance herself from all that and she’s now cleaning house.”
The move has yet to be confirmed by Mariah Carey or Roc Nation Management.
The management arm of Roc Nation boasts an impressive and ever-growing client list that includes Big Sean, DJ Khaled, Fabolous, Meek Mill and Rihanna, among others. Statik Selektah became one of Roc Nation Management’s latest clients when he signed for them earlier this year.

Oh no she better not torment us with another christmas album 🙁
This is a Roc Nation loss
Eeewwww
Straight to Tidal
Broke Nas stans on here hating again. Mad she signed with the ROC and not with Ass Appeal. Get money, you peasants.
Roc nation management is terrible. They took a hot Wale and managed him to cold. And they were clueless on what to do with Rita Ora an international super star who has done a trillion times better since cutting ties with Roc Nation
Bad decision on her part Roc Nation screws up their artists career. They have a terrible track record.
Alright MC it’s your time to shine and find your delivery I’m waiting on you.
The headline is backwards. I think she got “on top” of Jay in order to join the label
You know she did too. This 48yr old washed up hasbeen.
Mariah can’t sing and dance like she could in her prime, but at least she still looks good. Hope it works out with Roc Nation.
