During the show, a video clip played of the 2015 incident, showing Rihanna laughing as Mariah signed her chest. Guest host Fortune Feimster, 45, jokingly asked if autographing body parts was a common request. Mariah chuckled, “Not really… but that was a unique moment. Yes, we love Rihanna.” When Feimster quipped, “I hope she got that tattooed on her booby,” Mariah playfully doubted it: “She said she was going to, but somehow I don’t think that happened.”
