24 Celebrities You Would Never Guess Are Actually Black

18. Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is one of the bestselling music artists of all time selling over 200 million albums worldwide. The single she performed with Boyz II Men remains the longest held number 1 song in history. Her olive skin might throw you off a bit, but she was born to an African American father and a Caucasian mother. But she probably knew that there was something good to be found with African American men, as she ended up marrying and having two children with Nick Cannon.
