In the clip, Carey, 53, reenacted the part when she attempted to escape from her kidnappers. Brown, 18, played one of them, questioning the singer who responded in Spanish, pretending that she didn’t understand any English while being tied in handcuffs.
Her boyfriendBryan Tanakaand her 11-year-old twins — Moroccan and Monroe — also hilariously made their cameos in the video, portraying the characters of the gangsters who tried to scare her into answering their questions.
“‘Go eat a buffet’ 😂#honey#butterfly25,” she captioned theTikTokpost, quoting the famous line from the music video.
Resharing the clip onTwitter, Carey wrote, “Reliving the splendor of the Honey video with surprise guests!#butterfly25.”

Back in April, MasterClass debuted Carey’s course on “how to use the voice as an instrument” featuring lessons on singing, songwriting and production — as well as a new take on “The Roof,” featuring R&B singerBrandy.
Carey’s unique approach to MasterClass saw her coach 43-year-oldGrammywinner Brandy through a collaborative, re-recorded version of the fan-favorite track, which Carey considers better than the original version fromButterfly.
“Brandy and I both loved the original background vocals arrangement of"The Roof” and decided we wanted to update it," she told PEOPLE of the collaboration in April.
“I really believe it’s surpassed the original and I can’t wait for you all to hear it!” Carey added at the time.
