She’s just become the latest recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

And as Mariah Carey was introduced at the ceremony on Wednesday, Lee Daniels, the creator of Fox’s hit show Empire, let slip the star’s latest endeavor.

‘Watch her on Empire you guys,’ Daniels revealed to a group of roaring fans according to the Associated Press. ‘She's coming to Empire.’

The show, which revolves around a hip hop and entertainment music label, is known for including real-life musicians playing themselves into the storyline - as well as other special guests.
