Lee Daniels, a creator of Empire, announced that Mimi will be making an appearance on the hit show this season.
“Watch her on Empire, you guys. She’s coming on Empire,” Daniels told fans before Mariah was presented with her star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Wednesday (Aug 5).
The Oscar-nominated director didn’t elaborate on what role Carey would play, or how she might interact with the show’s diva, Cookie Lyon.
Mariah has previously worked with Daniels before, appearing in films The Butler and Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, which earned Daniels two Academy Award nominations. Carey was nominated for ensemble cast Screen Actor’s Guild awards for both films, and in 2010 won a Palm Springs international film festival award for breakthrough performance for her role in as social worker Ms Weiss in Precious.
