Pop superstar Mariah Carey says she loves her label as a diva.
The 37-year-old singer — infamous for her outrageous demands — says it’s a compliment to have that reputation because it means she’s successful.
She said: “They throw that word around like it’s a friggin’ Frisbee!
“I grew up hearing it, because my mother is an opera singer.
“The actual definition is ‘a talented female singer.’ Definition two is ‘a difficult woman who is successful,’ I believe. So I take it as a compliment.”
But despite her fiery reputation, the ‘One Sweet Day’ singer insists she doesn’t make enough demands.
She told America’s Parade magazine: “You know what? I guess I am a diva in many ways! When it comes to certain things, yes, I can be difficult and a little bit rigid about what I want. Am I demanding? I don’t think I’m demanding enough.
“I think if I were more demanding, I would have felt that I had some sort of power, as opposed to feeling like a pawn, which is something I had to grow out of.”
