Mariah Carey Checks Jermaine Dupri?

Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri have a long-standing working relationship. The two have collaborated as far back as the mid-90s and their careers together reached their peak back in 2005, when JD spearheaded Carey's comeback with the stellar album The Emancipation of Mimi.

But that doesn't mean Carey can't playfully poke fun at her hitmaking friend.

MC took some playful jabs at Dupri after he 'kept her waiting' in the sudio.

"Where is JD? Because I know he had to go to Vegas and blah-blah-blah...must be nice," Carey 'complained' jokingly, before chastising Dupri.

"First of all, time out...here's my issue--don't talk over me." she 'snapped.' "Why do you feel the need to be on Global 14 constantly? Technology in the room when we're writing is not always 100% beneficial for productivity. Because it distracts people."
