While Mariah Carey was on tour in Copenhagen in 2016, her now boyfriend and the dancer Bryan Tanaka surprised her with a sexy lap dance after jumping out of our Giant Pop-out Birthday Cake. The whole surprise was caught on film during an episode of the TV Show and eight-part docuseries, Mariah’s World which pulled in 2.2 million views total across the networks E! and Bravo.
According to E! News, Bryan Tanaka said: “I like blackout for a second because my adrenaline just took over. And then I turned into Magic Mike, actually Magic Tanaka…let’s get it right!"
When speaking about the lap dance, Mariah Carey reacted: “Apparently someone told Tanaka that I would like it if he jumped out of a cake.”
At the time of booking this performance and act, the member of the CEP team who delivered the Giant Pop-out Birthday Cake to Copenhagen and was very surprised when he found out that it would be for superstar Mariah Carey’s birthday and thrilled when he had the chance to speak with the diva herself.
