Derek Jeter’s Millionaire Ex-girlfriend Mariah Carey Once Admitted Floyd Mayweather Couldn’t Resist Her Hit Song Inspired by the Yankees Icon

Even for a short period, pop star, Mariah Carey, shared one of the best times in her life with her then-boyfriend, Derek Jeter. During the late 90s, Mariah and Jeter were hot topics in the sporting and entertainment world.

Notably, their relationship did not last long enough, but it was enough to give an experience of a lifetime to Mariah. She even wrote a couple of songs inspired by her time spent with Derek Jeter. Although it is not sure whether Jeter likes the songs or not, famous boxing star Floyd Mayweather loves one of the songs about Derek Jeter.

Floyd Mayweather’s favorite Mariah Carey song is about Derek Jeter

In her own words, “The Roof” singer, called Jeter, a catalyst. Even for a while, just being with the Yankee was very special for Mariah. And that is why she wrote her two songs, “My All” and “The Roof” about Derek Jeter.

In her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, she revealed that none other than the boxing superstar, Floyd Mayweather’s favorite song, is one of the songs she wrote for her ex-boyfriend, Jeter.

“And “My All” was a hit, a platinum hit. Later, Jermaine (Dupri), The-Dream, and Floyd “Money” Mayweather, three solid dudes, told me “My All” is their favorite song of mine,” Carey wrote.

When Mariah Carey finally admitted her two songs were about Jeter

Mariah Carey kept denying it for years that her two songs, “The Roof,” and “My All,” did not have anything to do with Jeter. But in 2020, she admitted the same.

“I can never forget that moment,” Carey said. “I mean, it’s not like it was some intensely deep, intellectually stimulating — again, it was a great moment. It happened in a divine way because it helped me get past living there, in Sing Sing, under those rules and regulations.”
