Mariah Carey says she has no plans to record a duet with Jennifer Lopez.

It follows reports that the pair are hoping to release a song.

A spokesperson for Carey said: "The rumours that Mariah and J-Lo will be collaborating for a duet are false."

Earlier this month reports in America suggested Lopez's ex-manager Benny Medina, who currently advises Carey on her career, had been trying to persuade the pair to record a duet.

The two divas reportedly have a dislike for each other dating back to when Carey was signed to Sony Music, which is home to Lopez.

Carey is said to be furious that her ex-husband and ex Sony boss, Tommy Mottola, stole an idea from her for Lopez's hit single I'm Real.

Carey also reportedly commented about Lopez's eight hour sleep habit: "If I had the luxury of not actually having to sing my own songs, I'd do that, too."

She is currently working on songs for her follow-up album to last year's Charmbracelet album.
