MrBeast is the most followed person on YouTube, but Mariah Carey doesn’t know him.
The elusive chanteuse trolled the popular YouTuber and media personality in her music video for her new single “Type Dangerous,” which was released on June 14.
Throughout the video, Carey is introduced to various male suitors. Towards the end of the three-minute video, MrBeast makes his debut in leading man fashion, donning a utility vest and a leading man swagger. However, that didn’t impress the Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee.
Carey turns to the camera, shrugs and says “I don’t know him.”
Then MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, fades into a pile of cash.
The popular media personality has 405 million subscribers on YouTube and counting.
The line is a nod to her famous line over 20 years ago when an interviewer asked Carey about Jennifer Lopez, who many believed was her industry rival. The five-time GRAMMY winner responded by shaking her head, smiling, and said, “I don’t know her.”
The reaction later was turned into gifs and memes and has become cemented in pop-culture history.
The single “Type Dangerous” was released on June 6 and is her first solo release since 2019’s “In the Mix.” The song is set to be a part of Carey’s upcoming 16th album. So far, an official release date or album title has not been announced.
