Mariah mentioned how Tommy had tried to sabotage her music career after their split by using a sample of her music which she had used in her hit track, Loverboy to give to another singer on his label whom she 'did not know'. Thus, the We Belong Together singer indirectly hinted that Tommy wanted to use her own music sample for Jennifer without even mentioning her name in the memoir.

For the unversed, Mariah had been signed on to Tommy's music label when she was just 18 years of age and the latter had helped her to launch her debut album which had turned out to be a huge success. The singer married Tommy in the year 1993 when she was 24 years of age and he was 44. However, the pair went on to separate in the year 1997 wherein Mariah claimed that her ex-husband was too 'controlling.'
