Lately there have been nasty rumors floating around town about singer Mariah Carey having some major beef with 'L-Boogie' aka Ms Lauryn Hill. The popular version of the story asserts that Lauryn and Mariah were scheduled to do a song together and for some unknown reason, Ms Carey decided to jump ship. The beef started because she never informed Lauryn about her change of heart. Ms Hill supposedly took Mariah's lack of communication as a major insult and publicly promised never to do work with her again. Folks all over were licking their chops as they anticipated the drama that would occur between these two superstars.

The other day Mariah Carey came on our radio station 106 KMEL in San Francisco and cleared up the misperceptions. She emphatically maintained that whoever reported the story did not have their facts correct and that the entire story was a 'straight up lie'. Mariah broke it down as she informed us that she and Lauryn had never even spoke about doing a song together. She was pleasant on air but obviously annoyed that folks were running rampant with the story. So perhaps there was some static. I can't say for sure. All I know as of a couple of days ago, Mariah said her and Lauryn having beef a total lie...
