Muni Long Throws Shade at Mariah Carey with Impersonator Video, Months After Singer Commented on Her 'We Belong Together' Cover
Muni Long is throwing shade at Mariah Carey and it’s not going over well with the fans.
The “Delulu” singer is promoting her new single with a skit posted to her Instagram account, featuring a Mariah impersonator coming in to audition for Muni by performing the song.
The impersonator tells Muni that she should sing the song the way she just did it. After she walks out of the room, Muni stamps “delulu” on Mariah‘s headshot. At the end of the clip, Muni says to the camera, “I just don’t like when other people sing my songs.”
So, where is this all coming from? Let’s bring you back to the beginning…

The whole feud started after Muni performed a cover of “We Belong Together” to honor Mariah at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards back in March. Fans noted that night how Mariah appeared to be giving side-eye throughout the performance, allegedly expressing disapproval.
Months later, Mariah was asked about the performance, but she seemingly misunderstood the reporter. She was asked for thoughts on Muni‘s cover and she apparently thought she was being asked about a recorded version, which she didn’t know about (because it doesn’t exist).
“I didn’t even hear the cover. I didn’t know it happened. No one told me,” Mariah told GQ. “I love Muni Long! I just didn’t know that she had done ‘We Belong Together’ [as a cover] ‘cause her song was so similar to ‘We Belong Together.’ I had no idea that she did ‘We Belong Together.’”
She added, “Well, I’m very honored and flattered that she did it. I love Muni Long, she’s a great person, umm, but I just don’t like people doing my songs. [Laughs]”
Muni‘s video seems to be a response to that interview.
A lot of people are leaving negative comments on Muni‘s new post.
“Oh you trying it! Good luck girl. Mimi is a shade assassin ask J.Lo. Wow,” one fan wrote. Another said, “Good luck on whatever it is you’re trying to achieve…”
