Insiders say Mariah Carey is unhappy with the lack of promotion her new project received from island Def Jam and is considering terminating her deal...

Mariah Carey’s latest album may be her last with Island Def Jam after delays and a lack of promotion and support plagued the project, sources tell Page Six.
Music insiders tell us the album’s first single, “#Beautiful,” was not heavily promoted by IDJ, and Carey was disappointed by the label’s efforts. Later, IDJ released remixes of “#Beautiful,” including a “Spanglish” version called “#Hermosa” and one withYoung Jeezy, to attract spins.
Some insiders blame the lack of attention to Carey on the fact that label execs were busy focusing on Kanye West’s album “Yeezus.” Page Six earlier reported that West’s last-minute production changes and legal issues were driving IDJ suits “crazy” as they worked overtime to get the album out.
Now some insiders are speculating the diva will leave IDJ after “The Art of Letting Go” is released. “No one’s really scrambling to renegotiate her contract or put her music out,” said a source.
