Mariah Carey Reportedly Fabricating She Wrote Christmas Song!
Everyone knows the Mariah Carey Christmas song, ‘All I Want For Christmas’, but the song was originally written by Walter Afanasieff. Now Mariah is trying to change the narrative and pull a Beyonce claiming she wrote it.
We all know MiMi didn’t write that song, she came in and did a few changes here and there to get her name on the writing credits, but that is it. It’s truly sad to see how some entertainers forget how they got where they are and start believing their own hype.

CelebnMusic247.com has this tea spill on Mariah Carey reportedly fabricating that she wrote her Christmas hit ‘All I Want For Christmas.’
Here is what’s being reported:
Mariah Carey is being accused of telling a “tall tale” over her claim she came up with ‘All I Want for Christmas’ as a child.
Her co-writer on, and producer of, the smash festive hit Walter Afanasieff, 64, poured scepticism on the singer’s claim she wrote the song as a child on her Casio keyboard.
Mariah’s former collaborator told the ‘Hot Takes and Deep Dives’ podcast:
We were both on the same page about how we wrote ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, there was never any alternate story until probably 10 years ago.
When she started to hint at the fact that, ‘Oh, I wrote that song when I was a little girl!’ But why weren’t you saying that for 12 or 13 or 15 years prior to that? So it just sort of developed in her mind.
She doesn’t play anything, she doesn’t play keyboard or piano. She doesn’t understand music, she doesn’t know chord changes and music theory or anything like that.
She doesn’t know a diminished chord from a minor seventh chord to a major seventh chord.
So to claim that she wrote a very complicated chord-structured song with her finger on a Casio keyboard when she was a little girl, it’s kind of a tall tale.
Walter, who won the 1999 Grammy award in the Record of the Year category for producing ‘My Heart Will Go On’ by Celine Dion, added he and Mariah, 53, came up with the 1994 track together while working on three original songs for her then-upcoming ‘Merry Christmas’ album.
Mariah is known for silencing people when she fears the truth of her past may come out. We spoke to Damiza who was close friends with MiMi — he wrote a great book, and said nothing bad about her, but she got word of it and shut the book down. It was never released. We read it, it speaks on Dr. Dre, Mariah and others, but after she shut him down, everyone from Timberland, Akon, Dre and Mariah cut him out of the industry. They acted like they never knew him. It was some real high school BS.
Once again she is trying to get credit for something she was given to sing.
