It has been announced at the Fox TCA’s that Mariah Carey will appear on the third season of Empire.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Mariah will pay a singer named Kitty who collaborates with Jamal (Jussie Smollett) at Empire and helps him craft an “explosive new song.” She will appear on the Oct. 5 episode.
Empire co-creator Lee Daniels, is a close personal friend of Carey’s. At the beginning of season 2, Daniels told EW that Carey wanted them to craft a character for her and not play herself. “I think it would be great to play her but she doesn’t want to play her so that’s what we’re doing,” said Daniels last September. “She’s giving us the hard assignment of trying to create a character which we’re doing right now.”
Empire’s third season premieres Sept. 21 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
