Muni Long Shades Mariah Carey with Impersonator Video After Cover Comment
Muni Long’s recent Instagram skit featuring a Mariah Carey impersonator has sparked controversy among fans. In the video, the impersonator auditions for Muni and suggests that she should sing the song the same way. After the impersonator leaves, Muni humorously stamps “delulu” on Mariah’s headshot and states, “I just don’t like when other people sing my songs.” This statement has raised eyebrows and led to a backlash from some fans.
The Background of the Feud
The tension between Muni Long and Mariah Carey appears to trace back to the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Muni performed a tribute cover of “We Belong Together” to honor Mariah. During this performance, many fans noticed Mariah’s apparent disapproval, as she was seen giving side-eye throughout.
Months later, Mariah addressed the cover when interviewed by GQ. She mistakenly thought she was being asked about a recorded version that did not exist. Mariah stated, “I didn’t even hear the cover. I didn’t know it happened. No one told me.” She expressed admiration for Muni, saying, “I love Muni Long! I just didn’t know that she had done ‘We Belong Together.’” However, she added, “I just don’t like people doing my songs,” which may have inspired Muni’s recent clip.
Fan Reactions
Muni Long’s Instagram video has received mixed reactions. Many fans have criticized her for what they perceive as throwing shade at Mariah. Comments include:
- “Oh you trying it! Good luck girl. Mimi is a shade assassin ask J.Lo.”
- “Good luck on whatever it is you’re trying to achieve…”
Despite the backlash, Muni continues to promote her new single, “Delulu,” indicating she is not backing down from the controversy. The situation keeps fans engaged, as they eagerly watch how this dynamic unfolds.
