Mariah Carey’s latest album, “#1 to Infinity,” which includes her number 1 hits and a new track, called “Infinity” and believed to be a diss at estranged husband Nick Cannon, is out in stores now. To promote it, the diva will also be releasing an official video for “Infinity.”

Embedded below is the first teaser for it, released on her VEVO channel. The second video is with Mariah’s appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she gave away free copies of her album but also unveiled a new look at the video.

She’s saving the best for last, that much is clear: the video shows the fun side of Mariah that her fans know and love from her other releases, and surprising cameos from model-turned-Chippendale Tyson Beckford and “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.

Voices online are saying that Smollett is styled to look just like Nick Cannon, but I fail to see the resemblance. If she did write “Infinity” as a diss track, chances are Mariah would not risk being too obvious by casting a Nick lookalike in the video.

Over the weekend, the singer stopped by the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, which took place in Vegas and performed a 2-song medley, including “Infinity.” Her appearance doubled as promo work for her ongoing Vegas residency, which kicked off a short while back to tepid reviews but excellent response from fans.
