Mariah Carey accidentally stole the spotlight on her son’s Twitch stream recently — and it left him adorably embarrassed.
The singer popped in during a livestream hosted by her 14-year-old son Moroccan Cannon, who was chatting with viewers Friday night.
“Chat my mom’s here,” he told his audience, according to TMZ, before turning to ask Carey if she wanted to say hello to everyone watching.
Still unsure if she really wanted to appear, he double-checked with her and reminded her that he was streaming live.
He went on to ask the “We Belong Together” singer if she was certain she wanted to be on camera, explaining he was live “in front of all these people.”
“Yes, should I be concerned?” Carey replied from somewhere off-screen.
“No, you can just duck down and say hi,” Moroccan called back.
A moment later, Carey, 56, leaned into the frame wearing shiny gold pajamas. The surprise appearance immediately sent viewers into a frenzy, with the chat filling up with “I love you” messages directed at the pop superstar.
“Hi guys,” she greeted them. “I want them to know that I love them.”
That was apparently enough attention for Moroccan. The teen quickly wrapped things up with his famous mom, telling her he loved her and promising he’d come find her once he finished streaming. The quick cameo actually mirrors another moment from last year, when Carey also popped into one of her son’s streams and left him just as flustered.
During that earlier livestream, Moroccan had been playing for about 10 minutes when the “Fantasy” singer unexpectedly walked into his room — this time with his twin sister, Monroe Cannon.
“Sorry chat, my mom is here,” he told viewers at the time.
Clearly embarrassed, he tried to warn them that his famous family had wandered onto the stream.
“Mom, they can see you. They’re saying, ‘Hi Mariah, I love you!’ Oh my God.”
Carey happily greeted the fans anyway.
“Hi, you guys!” she responded. “I love you, too.”
Moroccan, meanwhile, was ready to get back to gaming — and reclaim his room.
“Can y’all please get out, please? Love you. Get out of my room!” Moroccan shouted.
