“I don’t have time for the rigamarole.” — Mariah Carey, “Type Dangerous”
Let the games begin — but beware, danger comes in glitter and heels.
In true diva fashion, Mariah Carey makes a dazzling return in the music video for her latest single, “Type Dangerous” — and it’s as glamorous, dramatic, and delightfully shady as fans would expect. The video, directed by Joseph Kahn, blends cinematic flair with Mariah’s signature sparkle, capped off with a surprise appearance by YouTube megastar MrBeast — though he doesn’t last long.
A Dangerous Game of Love and Power
The video is structured into seven acts, each introducing a different archetype of man who ultimately fails to meet Carey’s standards: Mr. Player, Mr. Danger, Mr. Traitor, Mr. Racer, Mr. Dealer, and finally, MrBeast himself in Act 7.
Dressed in a shimmering evening gown, Mariah makes her entrance with poise and purpose, declaring from the first verse:
“I don’t have time for the rigamarole.”
From there, it’s a fabulous montage of dismissals, glam shots, and tongue-in-cheek sass, with each “Mr.” being stylishly dealt with — Carey-style. MrBeast’s cameo is the cherry on top, but fans will notice his screen time is, well… brief.
Lyrics That Slay — With a Hint of Nostalgia
“Type Dangerous” sees Mariah return to themes of self-empowerment and romantic independence:
“Never been afraid of love / That’s why I like ’em dangerous.”
The song marks a fresh yet familiar soundscape that blends R&B and pop with modern production, keeping her legacy alive while speaking to a new era.
MC16 Is Coming
The video release follows just a week after the single dropped, signaling the start of what fans hope is a full-blown comeback era.
Carey’s last studio album, 2018’s Caution, debuted in the top 5 on the Billboard 200. Now, she’s teasing the long-awaited MC16, which could be her 16th studio album — a project fans have speculated about for years.
Earlier this year, Carey also celebrated the 20th anniversary of her critically acclaimed album The Emancipation of Mimi with a deluxe reissue featuring remixes, bonus tracks, radio edits, and a cappella versions — a nostalgic treat for Lambs everywhere.
Final Word
In “Type Dangerous,” Mariah Carey reminds us that she’s not just a voice — she’s an era, a mood, and a message. With a wink, a gown, and a YouTuber cameo, she reclaims her throne while setting the tone for what’s next.
