Mariah Carey’s many collaborations with rap artists will be celebrated at the 2017 VH1 Hip Hop Honors.
VH1 said on Monday the singer will be honoured at the September 17 taping, dubbed “Hip Hop Honors: The ‘90s Game Changers,” at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California. It will air September 18.
Carey, who has launched countless pop hits, has been known for her collaborations and remixes with rappers, including Jay-Z, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Busta Rhymes, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Nas, Snoop Dogg and Diddy.
The event will be hosted by actress Regina Hall and will also honour actor Martin Lawrence. Missy Elliott will perform.
VH1 said the TV special honouring hip-hop’s foray into pop culture will also “recognise the victims of the hurricanes and provide viewers with ways to take action to help.”
