Rumor has it that Mariah Carey will be hitting the stage at the 2025 BET Awards with a SPECIAL GUEST!

If you did not know…. Carey is set to receive the ICON award along with Snoop Dogg, Kirk Franklin and Jamie Foxx.

Word from the CURB is that she is also PERFORMING and her SPECIAL GUEST will be an OPENING set from ‘Mr. Club Quarantine’, dj extraordinaire, D-NICE!

If you recall, D-Nice’s (real name Derrick Jones)  Instagram Live virtual dance parties was the sensation of isolation during the Pandemic, drawing upwards of 150,000 viewers — among them, both Democratic candidates, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, former first lady Michelle Obama, Drake, Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith and even Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg — and helping relieve anxiety during this time of stress and uncertainty.

Jones got his start at age 15 with rap group Boogie Down Productions alongside KRS-One and DJ Scott La Rock. After selling millions of records, putting out two successful solo albums and helping Kid Rock get a deal and working on his first album, Jones decided to leave the music industry in 1993, telling Variety, “I just felt burnt out.”

Fast forward to 2025 he’s still going–bigger and an even STRONGER following.

Jones is a GOOD friend of Mariah, and I was TOLD he will be a part of her set at this year’s FETE! Remember will you HEARD IT FIRST…….
