In her acceptance speech Mariah told the audience how Billboard has been an integral part of her life.
“Billboard has been an integral part of my life for a very long time now, Even though I don’t acknowledge time, I kind of have to admit that some of my most memorable times in my career are connected to Billboard and the BBMAs”, she noted.
The Always Be My Baby artist continued: “One thing I really have to say that I’m really grateful for is the fact that my fans have been here with me through the hits, through the misses, No. 1s and the Bubbling Under [songs that have not yet charted on the Billboard Hot 100]”.
The artist also shared how her classic 1994 song “changed” her entire life and that she never could have imagined that she would get such a special award when she wrote the hit song.

MARIAH CAREY OPENS UP ABOUT HER CHILDREN’S MUSICAL TALENTS
Mariah Carey shares her 12-year-old twins with media personality and father of 12 Nick Cannon. Just a few days before being honoured at the Billboard Music Awards by her children, Mariah was seen performing with her daughter Monroe Cannon.
The legendary singer’s duet with her daughter comes as no surprise mainly because Carey has always been open about her children’s musical talents.
She recently told Hollywood Access how she loves seeing her children performing, but more importantly she loves that they’re eager to participate.
“I love it. I love seeing them stepping into this performance space, this music space, and the fact that they are so eager to do it, that’s on them”, she told the media outlet. I never say ‘you guys got to do this,’ you know? It’s whatever they want to do and they’re rehearsing for it and going for it and really working hard, so that’s impressive to me”, she told the media outlet.
