She really should've added another chapter or a few extra anecdotes.

A lot is incorrect in this story, but interesting this is coming out now...hmm...
THE SUN: Mariah Carey sensationally quits Jay-Z’s management company after huge fight between stars
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...-z-roc-nation/
THE new Mariah Carey album is on the way but there is one man who certainly won’t be on it – Jay-Z.
I can reveal she has sensationally quit the rapper’s management company Roc Nation after a blazing row between the two music superstars.
The pair erupted in a meeting about the future of Mariah’s career that sparked her decision to walk.
It comes three and a half years after she signed a deal to have her career managed by the firm that Jay-Z owns and runs.
A source close to the situation said: “Mariah and Jay had an explosive meeting which did not go well at all. She has made it clear she wants nothing more to do with him and has called it quits with Roc Nation.
“She will formally depart in the next few weeks.
“It is a shame because they had done some great work in the last few years. But this meeting couldn’t have gone much worse.
“Mariah has been talking to other managers and thinks she has found someone who she feels has full belief in her as she takes her next steps.
“There is a heavily R&B- influenced album being finalised at the moment and she is planning a world tour for next year, so she isn’t letting this stand in her way.”
On the website, the singer has already been removed from the list of acts that are represented by the company. Mariah first signed with Roc Nation in November 2017 and since then has released her 30th anniversary album The Rarities as well as her New York Times bestselling memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey.
She also secured a deal with Apple TV for a festive special and finally got to No1 in the UK with All I Want For Christmas, 26 years after it was released.
Next Friday she will feature on a new song called Somewhat Loved by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
Roc Nation has helped Jay-Z become a billionaire in recent years, with other high-profile clients including Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Megan Thee Stallion and Kelly Rowland. Here’s hoping they get on better with him than Mariah did.

Hmm, I guess she wanted more support/budget but maybe jay z heard the new material and didn't feel it will succeed since obviously r&b isn't popular anymore...
Mariah can be stubborn as we know...but honestly if the latest single indicates anything of her current musical direction then she needs to start listening to others and stop doing outdated sounds...

Another person that worked with Mariah at ROC Nation has jumped ship with Melissa at Range Media.
"Tania Cruz is a Los Angeles native whose music journey began at CAA (after graduating from UC Berkeley) working for Mac Clark during the developmental years of CAA's Dance touring department. She has since contributed to teams at Dick Clark, UMPG, and most recently, Roc Nation, where she worked with current Range Music Managing Partner Melissa Ruderman, and collaborated on a year-long campaign to drive Mariah Carey's hit single, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to #1 on the Billboard HOT 100 charts. Following the onset of the pandemic, Cruz dedicated her time to building out digital marketing campaigns and creating brand awareness strategies for independent musicians. She will now join Range Music as a Project Manager.
"Tania's comprehension of what it takes to work on the management teams of globally recognized music talent in this ever-changing industry exceeds that of any young executive I have worked with in my career," commented Melissa Ruderman, Managing Partner of Range Music. "We are lucky to have Tania's passion, drive, skill set and creativity here at Range.""

I’m not surprised Mariah and Jay’s Roc Nation split. They have very different views on what is appropriate to release. Mariah obviously is stubborn and wants to do her own thing while Jay probably wanted her to go do more commercially viable things. Both are right. Just not a good match.
Mariah should stop partnering with friends for business like in the future though. A lot of her relationships have soured due to business. I know Randy Jackson’s relationship with her kind of soured and so did her relationship with JD for a while.
