Muni Long is shutting down growing speculation that she took a jab at Mariah Carey in a new Instagram video.
The R&B star sparked debate this week after posting a comedic Instagram skit featuring a Mariah Carey impersonator. The clip, tied to the rollout of her new single “Delulu,” shows the impersonator dramatically auditioning while referencing diva-like behavior, including joking about not wanting others to sing her songs. Fans quickly pointed out that the moment echoed comments Mariah once made in a past interview, leading many to believe Muni was throwing subtle shade.
In the skit, Muni can be heard reacting with exaggerated shock, saying lines like, “THE DIVA!? My cute lil number?” and “Maybe I can come around to people singing my songs if this who singing it!”
“Y’all don’t be delulu. I would never disrespect Queen Mariah… forever a Lamb,” she wrote, emphasizing that the entire bit was part of a comedic rollout — not a diss.
The rumors also reignited discussion about a past viral moment between the two singers, when Mariah gave a lukewarm reaction to Muni’s tribute performance at the a recent Music Award show. While the moment resurfaced in fan conversations, Mariah herself has not addressed the recent skit.
