Mariah Carey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Mariah Carey’s recent weeks have been packed with iconic moments, starting with her brand-new single “Type Dangerous,” which dropped on Friday, June 6 according to her own Instagram announcement. She teased its release on Instagram, prompting a wave of excitement among her massive fanbase. Behind-the-scenes content followed, with Carey sharing a glimpse of her creative process for “Type Dangerous” in a June 15 reel—giving fans a look at studio energy and the vision shaping her music. The track itself is notable not just for its slick production, but for sampling Eric B. & Rakim’s classic “Eric B. Is President,” which, as Mariah revealed in an Audacy interview, is one of her all-time favorite songs. In her chat with Audacy, she explained how the team looped the original record, creating a fresh yet nostalgic sound, and emphasized that this single is just the beginning, with her much-anticipated sixteenth studio album on the way.

Carey’s professional momentum hit a high note when she was honored at the 2025 BET Awards on June 9 with the BET Ultimate Icon Award, an honor she shared with Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, and Kirk Franklin, recognizing their indelible marks on music, entertainment, and community impact. According to People, Carey skipped the red carpet but made a glamorous statement inside the venue, cascading down stairs in a show-stopping performance of “Type Dangerous,” accompanied by Rakim, and later delighting fans with “It’s Like That.” Her metallic gold mini dress and dramatic entrance became instant headline fodder, solidifying her status as a fashion and performance legend. Her acceptance speech was described as just as iconic as her persona, encouraging fans to embrace their own greatness.

Across the pond, Mariah Carey lit up Wembley Stadium for Capital’s Summertime Ball on June 15, delivering a powerhouse vocal performance of her classic “Emotions,” as reported by Capital FM. Her international appeal was on full display, with energetic crowd reactions and media coverage highlighting her enduring talent.

On the business front, “Type Dangerous” is generating major buzz as the leading single for her upcoming album. Audacy Check In reports that Mariah is thrilled to be sharing new music and is energized by fan anticipation. Meanwhile, her Las Vegas residency, “The Celebration of Mimi,” announced additional dates for early 2025, ensuring her live brand remains as vibrant as ever, according to Bob 93.3 FM.

Rumors of a collaboration with Anderson .Paak, mentioned by People after a series of public appearances together, remain unconfirmed but have sparked interest among fans and media alike. Mariah Carey’s social media remains highly engaged, with fans flooding her posts about “Type Dangerous” and her personal style, while her holiday legacy—including the yearly “defrosting” memes—continues to be a cultural talking point. As 2025 unfolds, Mariah Carey is proving once again why she remains one of the most influential and celebrated artists in the world.
