Another commenter stated ‘This song still slaps’ to emphasize the enduring quality they had created.

People showed their love for Carey through their visible admiration. A self-proclaimed number one fan used Carey’s famous nickname ‘Mimi’ to express his happiness that his ‘baby’ finally obtained the respect she deserved.
Tyrese Gibson also chimed in with congratulations, writing, ‘Love you big bro!!! all the way from Qatar I’m sending this love!!!’ The artist used raised-hand emojis to show that he belonged to a family who supported each other. Another individual described the relationship between Carey and Rhymes as royal by saying ‘The queen and tha king.’
The music received different responses from people who commented about it. One person attempted to advance his career by sharing a Spotify album link while requesting Busta’s assistance. Most people on celebrity pages reach out to fans through this method which stands in opposition to the joyful atmosphere created by all other responses. Outstanding positive feedback was shown by most people except for one individual who made a derogatory comment.
People are eagerly looking forward to the upcoming event. Busta Rhymes will deliver a performance that matches the event’s special nature through his dedication to ‘turn up’ at the event.
