Mariah Carey and Jussie Smollett duet in new ‘Empire’ teaser – WATCH
By Will Stroude
Empire
is known for booking the biggest names – Naomi Campbell, for example – to guest star in the smash hit musical drama. And this week’s episode will be no different, with none other than living legend Mariah Carey teaming up with music’s most famous fictional family.
Carey, whose reality docuseries Mariah’s World kicks off in December, plays “mega-superstar” Kitty in the episode – which we’re sure will be something of a stretch for the world-renowned muscial icon.
The clip shows the pair getting ready to record a new song, but Jamal (played by former Attitude cover star Jussie Smollett) is still shaken from his public breakdown at the Empire X Stream’s launch. Can Kitty help Jamal through his issues?
Check out the teaser clip below:

We caught up with Jussie Smollet recently to talk about Empire, being an out black man in Hollywood, and his longstanding friendship with fashion legend Naomi Campbell. Read more in Attitude’s September issue, which is still available to download from pocketmags.com/attitude.
