Mariah Carey brushed off the concept of time and birthdays during a Capital FM appearance on Monday (June 16), leaving the morning show hosts puzzled as she doubled down on her unconventional views.
The 56-year-old singer joined Capital Breakfast with Sian Welby, Jordan North and Chris Stark, where the conversation quickly veered into the surreal.
When North asked whether she truly rejects the idea of time, Carey didn’t hesitate: “That is true.” Pressed by Welby to elaborate, Carey replied flatly, “I just don’t believe in it.”
Stark, still trying to make sense of her stance, asked if her issue was with time zones. Carey clarified, “No, just time.”
The hosts then asked if she had a problem with clocks. Carey responded, “Yeah. No, just let it go.”
The discussion shifted to birthdays, and Mariah Carey made it clear she doesn’t mark the occasion in the traditional sense.
“I don’t have a birthday, no,” she said. “Anniversaries, yes.”
Stark, still trying to understand how Carey navigates life without acknowledging time, asked how she schedules anything. Carey answered, “Yeah, I would have someone call you and figure it out.”
Mariah Carey’s remarks come as she continues to embrace a persona that defies age and convention, a theme she’s leaned into throughout her decades-long career.
Her comments echoed past interviews, where she had avoided publicly acknowledging her age or celebrating birthdays.
