Mariah Carey SHUTS DOWN Speculation, Declares “Love” for Muni Long & Tori Kelly Tribute Performances

Mariah Carey has a penchant for throwing shade, but the vocal supernova is making clear that she is throwing nothing but praise in the direction of Muni Long and Tori Kelly.

The pair made headlines when they took to the stage to tribute Mimi at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards this week, Carey was presented with the Icon Award at the ceremony.

Now, she’s seizing the moment to quell the suggestion she threw shade at Munu with a “meme-able” expression during the R&B star’s take on ‘We Belong Together.’

Full story below…

Sharing a shot of herself beaming with the ladies, Carey gushed:

“So beyond grateful for these two gorgeous, uber-talented, king, incredible musicians who made my heart so full of joy with their tribute performances at the iHeartRadio Awards. I love and appreciate you so much!!!”

The legend’s words come after Muni declared “Mariah told me I did a good job.”

And we agree, she was great. As was Tori.
