Nick Cannon refuses to be blamed for the end of his marriage to Mariah Carey. The multi-talented actor has clapped back at the notion that he was the one who messed things up with his ex-wife.
In a Wednesday, April 26 episode of “The Daily Cannon Show”, the actor/rapper weighed in on the end of Nia Long’s relationship with Ime Udoka due to infidelity. “When you fumble somebody like Nia Long you gotta get these jokes,” Nick said, to which his co-host Courtney Bee Bledsoe quipped, “I mean you fumbled Mariah.”
Shocked by the allegation, Nick asked, “Did I?” He then demanded his co-host to elaborate, “Explain to me how I fumbled Mariah.” Courtney quickly took it back, saying she was only joking. “I’m playing I’m playing!” she said. “I don’t know. I just know you’re not with her, so that’s a fumble.”
“Maybe she fumbled me,” Nick retorted. When Courtney asked, “Did Mariah come home and like tell you about her days and stuff?” the father of 12 quickly confirmed that he “was there” for the “My All” singer throughout their relationship.
“That’s fair. But, you didn’t make ‘Always Be My Baby’. So, you know what I’m saying? It’s a little different,” Courtney noted, to which Cannon admitted, “Facts. I’ll take that.”
Nick and Mariah got married in 2008 after only six weeks of dating. They welcomed fraternal twins, son Moroccan and daughter Monroe, in April 2011. In 2014, they separated after three years of marriage and their divorce was finalized in 2016.
Nick, who has since had ten more children with five other women, recently gushed over his ex-wife. Speaking about the woman whom he considered the love of his life, he told The Shade Room in March, “When I found that out about how remarkable she was, that woman is not human,” adding, “She’s a gift from God.”
Having nothing but praises for the R&B diva, “The Masked Singer” host further confessed, “I get a lot of this delightful disposition from her.” He went on sharing, “She’s just always happy, always doing for others. No matter what’s happening in life. I’m like, ‘Wow, a person can really operate like that and don’t allow negative energy into they space.’ ”
