Mariah Carey Honored with Icon Award at 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards: Singer Muni Long Surprises with Cover of 'We Belong Together

Mariah Carey, known for her candid nature and expressive facial expressions, was recently honored with the Icon Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. During the event, singer Muni Long performed a cover of Carey's hit song "We Belong Together," which surprised Carey. In a recent interview, Carey explained that she initially thought Long was performing her own song, "Made for Me," due to the similarity in sound. Despite feeling flattered by the cover, Carey admitted that she prefers when artists do not cover her songs.

Carey and Long have a history of collaboration, with Long co-writing songs like "Infinity" and "A No No" for Carey in the past. However, Long has since focused on her solo career and is set to release new music. Fans can anticipate Carey's upcoming 16th album, "Here For It All," which is scheduled for release on Friday, Sept. 26.
