They have been famously feuding since the early 2000s over a dismissive comment.
And now, Mariah Carey, 47, and Jennifer Lopez, 48, have each taken covers for the same issue of Paper magazine for their special edition Las Vegas issue.
Both divas look fabulous as they tried to out-glam each other to promote their glitzy Las Vegas shows.
Mariah looked fabulous as she showed off her figure in nothing but an elaborate necklace and fishnet stockings.
The We Belong Together singer had her long locks strategically placed over her breasts as she opted to go topless for the sexy cover shoot.
She also wore long black gloves and posed seductively with her hands over her head.
Smiling mysteriously at the camera, the longtime diva looked great in full glamorous makeup that really made her eyes pop.
For her cover, Jennifer went full Vegas showgirl in a bejeweled crown and sparkling one-piece bodysuit complete with talons coming out of the shoulders.
She is straddling a shimmering piece of furniture as she places one pant on her butt and the other out in front of her.
Similar to her rival, Jennifer wore a full face of makeup, complete with dark eye-shadow and fake eyelashes for the full Vegas effect.
Perhaps as a bit of a jab at her rival, who has been accused of phoning in her performances, Jennifer talked about how seriously she takes her performances:
'The name of the show is "All I Have," so I can't be like, "Tonight you're getting half," you know. You can't do that.'
She also admits, she's not much of a Vegas partier, despite having a show here.
'I don't do that stuff. You know what I mean? I'm here to dance and the wildest thing I've done is, oooh, I danced 'til 4. You know, that was it.'
Both divas have shows in Las Vegas, which both return to the strip later this year.
Mariah just wrapped up Mariah: #1 to Infinity, her first-ever Vegas residency, where she performed all 18 of her #1 hits at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Mimi will be back in December for All I Want for Christmas Is You, a holiday concert series that, yes, will be sure to feature that iconic, titular hit.
When asked about what she does in Vegas during her time off, she responded that she doesn't get much.
'Well, it's hard because sometimes it's like two nights on back to back so I don't really [go out] -- it's not like, 'WOO HOO,' let's, like, go wild on the Las Vegas strip, but occasionally some of my friends and I will drive around, have fun, go to different places, do whatever.'
She also revealed she likes the idea of a Vegas show because she can bring her six-year-old twins and it keeps them grounded and in one place.
'I have twins [Moroccan and Monroe], who just turned six...to have them be in one place for a period of time rather than, like, touring for all that time [is great]. They go with me,' she told the magazine.
The dueling divas have been rivals for years, bringing their feud to the Vegas box office.
The longtime silent feud began in the early 2000s when a reporter asked the Daydream songstress about Lopez: 'I don't know her,' she replied.
Rumors of an ongoing feud have continued ever since.
'That was so long ago,' she said when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live in May 2016. 'I can't believe people still make such a big deal out of it.'
The Hero hitmaker was asked about her rivals by host Andy Cohen, after the notorious video when she dismissed J.Lo by saying: 'I don't know her'.
But, she reiterated her claims when pressed about the Jenny from The Block star.
After being asked if the pair are 'cool', a riled Mariah replied: 'I don't know her. What am I supposed to say? I'm not going to put on a thing like 'Oh we're all Hollywood and let's all pretend we're best friends' because we're in that land.
