Mariah Carey’s manager, Stella Bulochnikov, tells In Touch exclusively that Showbiz411 columnist Roger Friedman’s claims that she may be dropped from Epic Records are absolutely false.

“The day his column came out is the day Epic released the song and it got radio ads,” she says. (Actually, Mariah’s single was officially released Feb. 3, while Friedman’s column ran Feb. 28, In Touch has learned).
