Mariah Carey expressed her disappointment at being passed over for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, stating simply, 'I didn't get in.' This encapsulates her feelings about the snub.
Reflecting on the irony, Mariah noted, 'Everybody was calling me going, 'I think you're getting in!' and so I was excited about it, but then it didn't happen. My lawyer got into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame before me.'
Allen Grubman, Carey's entertainment lawyer, was inducted with a backdoor award for industry professionals, a point of contention for some as his induction overshadowed the recognition of actual musicians.
Jann Wenner, a co-founder of the Rock Hall, protested Grubman's induction, asserting it prioritized 'money and bending to the ego of a music-business power broker,' raising questions about merit versus influence in the Hall's decisions.
