New collab? Mariah Carey and Lil Durk were spotted at dinner together.
A video surfaced online of Durk, Mariah and Shirin Amiri, who is the wife of fashion designer Mike Amiri. At the table, the four of them were seen taking pictures and eating together. Seemingly an interested link up as Mariah and Durk don’t have any musical history together.
Fans online spectate that the two may be gearing up to release some Christmas music together. “Lil Durk And Mariah Seen Together…It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas,” wrote a fan via Twitter.
It’s no secret that Mariah Carey is the Queen of Christmas– yet reports claim that her motion to file for ‘QOC’ trademark was denied. According to reports, the original and also known as the world’s only full-time Christmas recording artist, Elizabeth Chan, blocked Carey’s attempt.
“This was a classic case of trademark bullying,” said Chan’s attorney Louis Tompros. “We are pleased with the victory, and delighted that we were able to help Elizabeth fight back against Carey’s overreaching trademark registrations.”
“Christmas is a season of giving, not the season of taking, and it is wrong for an individual to attempt to own and monopolize a nickname like Queen of Christmas for the purposes of abject materialism,” Chan said in a statement.
She continued, “As an independent artist and small business owner, my life’s work is to bring people together for the holiday season, which is how I came to be called the Queen of Christmas. I wear that title as a badge of honor and with full knowledge that it will be — and should be — bestowed on others in the future. My goal in taking on this fight was to stand up to trademark bullying not just to protect myself, but also to protect future Queens of Christmas.”
