Mariah Carey Says That She "Reached Out" To Britney Spears About Her Conservatorship Battle Because Of Something Prince Once Said To Her

Mariah Carey obviously has a lot of experience in the music industry — which is exactly why she reached out to Britney Spears about her conservatorship battle.

The legendary singer recently told NME that she hit up Spears with a message for her amidst her struggles. “I think everybody on this planet deserves to be free and what they did to her, what I saw, was horrific," Mariah said.

"So I reached out to her through a mutual friend because I wanted her to know: ‘Guess what? You’re not alone.'"

Mariah said that her decision to reach out to Britney was inspired by some sage wisdom from the Purple One himself. “I remember when I was going through a lot of stuff years ago,” she recalled. “Prince reached out to me and gave me a Bible and he talked to me for hours.”

"He’s an amazing person and he cared about the music business and the industry being so screwed up — which it is," she continued.

"You’ve got to be a giving person. It doesn’t matter whether they’re my best friend or whatever, I just felt like it was the right thing to do.”
