“Really, you’re melting my heart,” Carey, 45, said to her adoring fans. “You’re making me cry, and that’s why I’m keeping on my sunglasses. But I cannot thank you enough. This is a huge honor.”

“Dem babies” — whose dad is Nick Cannon, the husband Carey split from last year — did not care about the formalities. They plopped down on the sidewalk for cameras right along with their mom. At one point, Roc even sidled up to give Carey hugs and kisses during her historic moment. Eventually, he was pulled away, although he was very unhappy about it.
