The 'Dreamlover' singer, who is married to Nick Cannon, said that she hired extra minders and security for a recent commercial that she starred in with her pets.

Carey told Hello magazine: "I had my team with me but the pups had a mini entourage of their own, of course! And why wouldn't they? It was a big shoot and even my entourage had an entourage - my stylist had an assistant, my security had extra security."

The star continued: "The shoot was based on the fact that some people think I'm a demanding diva. I have no idea why people have that impression!"

Carey has previously said: "I am baffled, shocked and appalled when I am called a diva. I've never done one diva-ish thing in my life. I don't believe I am truly nasty and act in a bad way."
