I don't know her
- ... that Mariah Carey does not know Jennifer Lopez? Source: CNN "Years ago, Mariah Carey was asked during an interview about fellow singer/actress Jennifer Lopez. Carey shook her head and proclaimed, 'I don’t know her.'" In 2016, "[Carey] insisted that while she and Lopez may have crossed paths, she does not 'know' her."

Created by Heartfox (talk). Self-nominated at 16:01, 18 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/I don't know her; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- @Heartfox: Not a review, but I have to say this article feels very one-sided in favor of Carey—with Lopez not quoted even once. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a hit piece, but it feels weird not to mention her side of the story. Did she have anything to say about the rivalry or the meme, or has she maintained radio silence over it? Even if it's the latter, I think that bears mentioning in the article.

- Thank you for the comments. It was not my intention to make it seem one-sided at all, and I don't think it is. The article mentions that the rivalry was formed by the media, and gives two sides of interpreting the phrase. Lopez is not singled out for her specific actions in any way. It is more about Carey's former record label and ex-husband's alleged actions, and Lopez was caught in the middle. I do understand your point of view and I will incorporate more context later today when I have more time. Heartfox (talk) 13:48, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
- No problem. It's an interesting and well-cited article with a strong DYK hook otherwise, and I appreciate the commitment to adding balance. DigitalIceAge (talk) 17:05, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
- I added some more context from Lopez's side. Heartfox (talk) 22:38, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

- @Heartfox: Image licensing good: 2 free and one that follows NFCC. Article new enough (published from draft) and long enough. Hook is good and cited inline. Article is well sourced, neutral, no BLP violations, and no copyvio detected (though I would advise you to cut down on your usage of quotes even further for your GA nom; take a look at WP:Copyediting reception sections). Nominator's second nomination for DYK so no QPQ needed. Looks good!
