LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Mariah Carey, 55, has sparked fear among her friends and loved ones regarding her health as she continues to party like she is just 25. 

For the Queen of Christmas, every night is like New Year’s Eve, with an insider dishing that Carey is a night owl who spends most of the night hours partying while sleeping during the day.

While the entertainer continues with her partying ways, the source shared that even though her close ones are worried about her health, “no-one can tell her what to do".

Maria Carey sparks health concerns with 'all-night partying'

Speaking to RadarOnline, a source shared that Mariah Carey’s “all-night partying” has taken a toll both on her stage performances and her health. 

Less than a month ago, a video of the ‘Emotions’ singer’s dance from her Las Vegas performance went viral where fans noticed her “painfully slow” gait. 



 

Referencing the performance, the source shared that her stilettos mainly posed the problem, noting, "They were too high and she could barely walk in them."

However, the ‘We Belong Together' songstress is reportedly so desperate to keep up with the decades-younger female popstars that she doesn’t care about the impact of wearing high heels. 

"People around her are also convinced she's not taking care of herself,” shared the source, before adding, “She loves a late night and a party, and it could cost her everything – her voice, career and even her life.”

"But Mariah is Mariah, and no-one can tell her what to do,” claimed the source, while reflecting on her obstinacy.

The source shared that the ‘Obsessed’ singer’s nocturnal partying, combined with her habits of late-night fast-food binges and alcohol, aren’t helping her body either. 

They revealed that the ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ hitmaker does not have her dinner before 2 am as well, and gobbles on burgers and fries late at night. 

"She loves to send her assistant out to get late-night burgers and fries and shakes for everyone,” the source noted while pointing out her unhealthy habits.

Mariah Carey’s boyfriend Anderson .Paak is considered ‘bad news’

Mariah Carey’s friends are not only concerned about her health but also about her latest relationship with 39-year-old rapper Anderson .Paak. A source shared that he is seen as the "bad news" by some in her circle.

"Mariah has been lavishing him with gifts and blowing a fortune,” claimed the insider.

Another mole, close to the songstress, further reflected on her health concerns, saying, "Every night is a party and that's just not healthy. She's not 25 or even 35 anymore. She's 55 and the years of loose living are catching up.”

Nevertheless, the source noted that “it’s not too late,” yet and the singer’s close ones are hoping for her to have a turn around in her habits. 

"People around her pray she has the fortitude and sense to turn things around,” claimed the source before adding hopefully, “The feeling is it's not too late."
