"Mariah Carey has hired Jermaine Dupri as part of her management team. The singer, who has worked with producer Dupri on the songs &amp;#039;We Belong Together&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Always Be My Baby&amp;#039;, announced the news on Monday (October 7).   Carey said in a statement: &amp;quot;We have a bond that surpasses music. I am super excited about our merger because we have so many innovative ideas that I know will come to fruition.&amp;quot; Dupri added: &amp;quot;A multi-talented artist of Mariah&amp;#039;s caliber should be doing everything imaginable. I&amp;#039;m sure others have said this but not the way I intend to do it. For me, it&amp;#039;s about the execution.&amp;quot; Dupri, who runs the label So So Def, has also written and produced for Destiny&amp;#039;s Child, Usher and Monica. G-A-Y owner Jeremy Joseph recently told Digital Spy that Graham Norton was partly responsible for Carey&amp;#039;s infamous show at the venue. Carey&amp;#039;s latest track &amp;#039;#Beautiful&amp;#039; was certified platinum in the US last month.
