Mariah Carey Says Son Moroccan Was “Bullied By A White Supremacist”
In an appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live on Thursday night, Mariah Carey shed some light on a racist encounter she and Nick Cannon’s 9-year-old son, Moroccan, recently faced.
“Rocky just got bullied the other day by a white supremacist person that he thought was his friend,” Carey said. “It’s like, insane. So, this is the world we live in.”
The incident came up when Cohen and Carey were discussing the impact prejudice had on her own upbringing. Carey went on to say that she reads Moroccan and his twin sister, Monroe, segments from her recently-released autobiography, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, in order to help them better understand the world and situations like the one Moroccan faced.
“I’m reading chapters to them that are helping to illustrate my encounters with racism, and how they can then have a greater understanding, and ultimately a greater reservoir with which to deal with the situation itself,” Carey shared.

In the interview, Carey also speaks on what it was like to grow up biracial in a predominantly white area. She tells of an experience in school in which she was assigned to draw a picture of her family and was “traumatized” by her teacher assistants, who reprimanded her for using a brown crayon for her father, not knowing he was black. She also talks about an incident in which a childhood friend came to her house and became terrified upon finding out that Carey’s father was black, having only met Carey’s white mother prior to that day. The racial experiences Carey details in her book ring very relevant, considering today’s cultural weather.
“It’s been a struggle for me since I was aware that there was such a thing as race. And the only reason I was aware so early on was because it became a subject of humiliation for me as a child,” said Carey.
The 50-year-old singer’s autobiography was released on September 29th, and in it Carey unravels the highs and lows of her career and personal life, including her affair with MLB legend Derek Jeter during her first marriage.

PLAN-A-EMCEE unveils a call to see clearly with latest release “Lyrically Reclaim Your Brain”
PLAN-A-EMCEE‘s latest release, “Lyrically Reclaim Your Brain,” is a lo-fi hip hop and cloud rap album with a waking-up theme. This one is for those stuck in an NPC-like life, moving toward awakening and ready to challenge their environment. The infectious hook is hard to miss, and delivers the song’s main message, “unmask the blindfold, that you might see!”
The track concept is simple and focused, produced by and rapped by Emcee PLAN-A-EMCEE, aka Anwar. The combination creates a direct relationship between the beat and the vocals, keeping the message front and center. The busy musical approach lets the words do the heavy lifting over the cold lo-fi base.
“Lyrically Reclaim Your Brain” is a musical reminder to pause, look closer, and be more aware of your surroundings. PLAN-A-EMCEE turns that idea into a memorable hip-hop statement, with an infectious refrain and an undeniably purposeful edge.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Just Swept The Emmys
Bad Bunny is officially an Emmy winner — and not just once. At Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, his Super Bowl LX Halftime Show swept every single category it was nominated in, all seven of them, making it the most-decorated nominee of the night.
The headline win was Outstanding Variety Special (Live), a category the show became only the third halftime show ever to claim. From there it just kept going: music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction and camerawork, and directing all went home with the Puerto Rican star’s team. There’s technically an eighth trophy with his name attached, too, though it won’t land in his hands — the “Saturday Night Live” episode he hosted last season separately won Outstanding Makeup for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Program.
The sweep is good news for Jay-Z as well. As an executive producer on the halftime show, he now has two Emmys to his name, having previously won for producing Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX performance in 2025 — the show that, until Saturday, held the record for most Emmys won by a Super Bowl performance.
Bad Bunny wasn’t the only one having a night. Sabrina Carpenter picked up her first Emmy as a performer and executive producer on “The Muppet Show,” edging out Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour | The Final Show” for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). The Billy Joel HBO miniseries “And So It Goes” won for sound mixing on a nonfiction program, and 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning” took home picture editing honors. A big weekend for live spectacle, all around.
