Mariah Carey’s son Moroccan “Roc” Cannon recently saw his low-key Twitch stream become a viral sensation overnight courtesy of an unannounced visit from Mariah Carey. The Grammy-winning icon, famous for her five-octave range and seasonal takeover, exchanged the center stage for her son’s gaming room, where Roc was quietly live-streaming with friends. What had begun as a standard gaming session took a wild left turn when Mariah popped over with her twin sister Monroe “Roe” in tow, flanked by a small petting zoo of dogs and cats.
“Sorry, chat. My mom’s here,” Roc said, sheepishly muting his mic as he turned to deal with the parental incursion off-screen. But it was already a hit on the internet. Roc’s friends reacted more or less excitedly to Mariah’s surprise appearance: One typed, “Hey, Mrs. Carey,” while another wrote, “I love you, Mariah.” The diva appeared in full-on cameo mode, leaning into the camera with her trademark smile and pet in tow. Meanwhile, Roe appeared with even more animals because what’s a family Twitch moment without a maximum level of chaos? Despite his best efforts, Roc, clearly frazzled, fumbled his way through, his internalized conflict utterly relatable.

“All right, y’all need to get out now. Just everybody get out,” he begged, balancing some Twitch credibility for the streams while also managing the Carey household energy. “Mom, they can see you. And they’re screaming, ‘Hi Mariah, I love you. Oh my God,” he sighed, his voice balancing between mortified and delighted. It was pure gold, wholesome, and hilarious, and it quickly went viral, ensuring once again that no one is safe from a classic mom pop-in, not even the son of a pop legend. From a peaceful stream to a surprise A-list appearance, Roc’s Twitch moment turned into a hilarious family affair and a replay that fans aren’t going to stop watching anytime soon.
