Muni Long Defends Mariah Carey Impersonator Skits After Fan Backlash

Long says the clips were playful promotion that honored Carey.

Overview

  • On Nov. 24, Muni Long posted two Instagram skits promoting her single “Delulu” that featured a Mariah Carey impersonator.
  • In one video, the faux Carey sings a snippet of “Delulu” before Long quips, “I just don’t like when other people sing my songs,” echoing Carey’s recent remark to GQ.
  • A second clip shows the impersonator appearing at a rehearsal and pushing Long off a ledge, which Long captioned with praise and gratitude.
  • After fans flooded her comments accusing her of disrespect, Long wrote on Instagram Stories that she meant no offense, saying, “I would never disrespect Queen Mariah” and “Forever a Lamb.”
  • Carey has not publicly responded; coverage also notes Long previously covered “We Belong Together,” says Carey asked her to do it and praised it, and that the two collaborated on a 2024 remix.
