Mariah Carey totes $89K Birkin bag to dinner with her children in Rio de Janeiro ahead of her headlining set at Rock in Rio Festival

Mariah Carey treated her 13-year-old fraternal twins Moroccan and Monroe Cannon to dinner at the restaurant Aprazível in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday ahead of her headlining set at the 40th annual Rock in Rio Festival.

The 55-year-old R&B diva toted a $89,500 Hermès Birkin '25 Black Shiny Niloticus Crocodile' bag and wore a $540 Louis Vuitton 'Smash Cap' as well as a white cardigan, multi-patterned pants, and peep-toe platform sandals for her meal out.

Mariah is scheduled to close out the seven-day Brazilian festival, which draws an eye-popping 100K fans each year, on the Sunset Stage Sunday.

Carey just performed a sold-out show at Allianz Parque in São Paulo last Friday, which she called 'one of the best concerts ever.'

Earlier on Saturday, the five-time Grammy winner - who boasts 80.3M social media followers - was 'grateful' to finally visit the 125ft tall Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro with 'Dem Teens.'

Mariah welcomed Roc and Roe during her six-year marriage to The Masked Singer producer-host Nick Cannon, which ended in 2016.

The 43-year-old father-of-11 just spoke out about Carey suffering the loss of her mother Patricia Hickey and 'ex-sister' Alison Carey Scott on August 24 at age 87 and 63, respectively.

'She's doing the best that she possibly can, considering the circumstances. But as a family, we just got to be there to support one another, show love,' Nick told told Page Six last Wednesday.

'She's really having a great time with the kids [in Brazil]. That is, you know, the most important thing in the world to her, so it's outstanding to see them supporting their mom the way they do.'

The Portrait singer told People on August 27 that she was 'heartbroken' over the death of the Julliard-trained opera singer and felt 'blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed.'

Back in 2020, Mariah dedicated her memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey to Pat: 'My mother, who, through it all, I do believe actually did the best she could. I will love you the best I can, always.'

In it, Carey described their relationship as a 'prickly rope of pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration, and disappointment.'

The Long Island native hadn't spoken to Alison since 1994 as the HIV-positive prostitute had 'been in rehab at least 10 times – many times financed by Mariah' a source told the New York Post in 2005.

'When I was 12 years old, my sister drugged me with valium, offered me a pinky nail full of cocaine, inflicted me with third degree burns and tried to sell me out to a pimp,' Mariah wrote in her tell-all.

Scott reportedly went on to file a $1.25M defamation lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court against Carey for 'intentional infliction of immense emotional distress,' but it never got far.

It's unclear if the All I Want For Christmas Is You hitmaker's memoir will still be adapted into a miniseries by two-time Oscar nominee Lee Daniels, who previously directed her in his gritty dramas The Butler (2013) and Precious (2009).

After Brazil, Mariah will next use her five-octave soprano pipes on her 20-date Mariah Carey Christmas Time Tour, which kicks off November 6 at the Yaamava' Resort & Casino in Highland, CA.

Carey - who gets 26.1M monthly listeners on Spotify - hasn't released an original full-blown record since her 15th studio album Caution in 2018.
