Muni Long Says 'Delulu' Skits Weren’t Shade at Mariah Carey

She frames the Instagram bits as playful promotion following fan criticism, with no response yet from Carey's representatives.

Overview

  • Long posted two Instagram videos featuring a Mariah Carey impersonator to promote her single Delulu.
  • In one clip, the impersonator sings Delulu as Long quips, “I just … don’t like when other people sing my songs,” and in another the impersonator pushes Long off a ledge.
  • Responding on Instagram Stories, Long wrote, “Y’all don’t be delulu,” added “I would never disrespect Queen Mariah!!!!!!,” and called herself “Forever a Lamb.”
  • Some Carey fans criticized the posts in Long’s comments, reading the skits as shade during the singer’s holiday season spotlight.
  • Billboard reported it reached out to Carey’s team for comment, and TMZ framed the videos as retaliation tied to Carey’s past remark that she doesn’t like others performing her songs.
