Muni Long Responds To Mariah Carey Tribute Criticism: 'I Did My Best'
Muni Long has issued a response to fans who had critiques about her tribute to Mariah Carey. On Monday (March 17), the R&B singer performed 'We Belong Together' in Carey's honor at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards as the veteran was being honored as an industry icon. During her time on stage, a camera panned to Mariah Carey as she looked away. The internet memed the moment and suggested the Butterfly singer's face was a message about Muni Long's delivery. After the event, Muni Long took to TikTok to address the alleged shade-throwing side-eye. 'The people that's got a lot to say, you don't understand how this paying homage and having respect for people…' the 36-year-old explained. 'She asked me to do it… You thought I chose to get on TV and sing a Mariah Carey song? You thought that was my choice? Why would I do that? Nobody can sing Mariah's songs like Mariah. Nobody.' The 'Made For Me' performer continued to explain, 'I did my best, and that's all I can do.' Elsewhere in the live broadcast, she explained, 'She told me I did a great job, she appreciated it. And that's it. Once again, if she pushed me down the stairs, if she told me she hated it, I would say thank you. That's what I would say.' Mariah Carey also responded to the critique, uplifting both Muni Long and Tori Kelly, who also sang during the tribute. 'So beyond grateful for these two gorgeous, uber-talented, kind, incredible musicians who made my heart so full of joy with their tribute performances at the @iheartradio awards,' wrote the 55-year-old on her Instagram story. 'I love and appreciate you so much!!!' Take a look at the performance above and check out Mariah Carey's social media upload below.
