Mariah Carey and her twin children, Moroccan Scott and Monroe Cannon, shared an adorable TikTok video of the threesome washing their hands while belting the lyrics to Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Fantasy (Remix)” verse. While the multiplatinum songstress might be in a nasty legal dispute with her ex-assistant over an $8 million extortion plot, Carey has remained her glamourous self and has been promoting family life utilizing the highly-popularized streaming platform every time she and her children get the opportunity. Now, the “Giving Me Life” singer is teaching her babies the importance of proper cleanliness with the help of legendary Wu-Tang Clan member, Big Baby Jesus formally known as Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

Mariah Carey’s original hit single “Fantasy” was released in 1995 and garnered the now 49-year-old songstress the title as the first female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. The song remained atop of the list for a consecutive eight weeks while also charting at number one and within the top five of seven different countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and more. It wasn’t until three years later that the remix featuring the late Dirt McGirt made its way on the scene repositioning its status as one of the greatest R&B and hip-hop collaborative efforts of all-time.
In the video posted to her Instagram account, Mariah and her children can be seen aggressively washing their hands over a gold-plated sink. During the clip, Mariah prepares her children to perform stating, “Are you ready? We got 20 seconds.” Carey and Cannon kids belt out ODB’s initial bar, “Me and Mariah Go back like babies with pacifiers,” before seemingly forgetting the rest of his classic verse, as the 5x Grammy Award-winning artist continued to encourage her kids to get their rap on. Eventually, the hand-washing timer goes off and the video comes to a close.
With the novel coronavirus officially a national emergency, some patrons are beginning to panic preparing for the worse, when proper sanitization practices and social distancing should allow the masses to remain in healthy standings. With that said, don’t be alarmed, stream your favorite music, and watch Mariah and the Cannon twins rap one of the greatest R&B rap verses of all-time in the video provided below.
Whethan Teases New Album & Returns To Doing Shows
Whethan dropped his project Life of a Wallflower Vol. 1 back in 2018, spanning 8 wonderful tracks including “Good Nights” with Mascolo and “Be Like You” with Broods. The press materials for the project deliberately avoided calling it an “album” at the time, as it sort of skirted that in between space between an EP and an LP. Now, however, Whethan isn’t pulling any punches and has officially begun teasing his new (or debut) album, Fantasy.
The producer tweeted on Christmas Eve, “the first single off my album is officially scheduled,” so it’s safe to assume that none of the tracks off the album are ones that have already been released. That doesn’t mean fans might not have heard the tracks, though, at any of Whethan’s past shows.
Fans will apparently be able to hear the album in full, or at least lots of it, at some select shows in March and April in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. He announced he was cancelling two gigs back in September to focus on his mental health, so this should be a very exciting welcome back. The first single is due out next week.
