Mariah Carey Sends Da Brat a Sweet Birthday Message — Featuring an Unreleased Song: ‘You Are the World’s Best’

“That was beautiful. Oh Sug, I love you, MC,” Da Brat replied after watching Carey’s video tribute

Mariah Carey serenaded her friend Da Brat on her birthday!

Rapper Shawntae Harris-Dupart, better known as Da Brat, turned 50 on April 14, and her longtime collaborator Carey, 55, shared a message for the new mom on the show Dish Nation, which Da Brat co-hosts.

The “We Belong Together” singer started off the pre-recorded video message, which a fan shared on X (formerly Twitter), by singing an unreleased song that Carey said producer L.T. Hutton had “lost.”

“I love you so much, happy birthday. They told me the number. I don’t do numbers. I don’t know what it is, have no recollection of any of it,” said Carey, who is known to refer to birthdays as “anniversaries,” affectionately referring to Da Brat as “TatTat.”
