15 celebrities you didn’t know were black – You will be shocked seeing this! (With Pictures)

5. Mariah Carey

These days, Mariah Carey is far from the huge pop diva she was in the ’90s. But hey, that’s the cycle of life, you can’t stay on top forever. In the past few years, she’s had a bit of a rough patch. She is no longer with her man Nick Cannon and her albums have been flopping pretty badly. But she recently hooked up with an Australian billionaire, so we think she is doing just fine. Mariah is of mixed heritage too – her mother is Irish and her father is Cuban and African-American.
