Nick Cannon Reveals the Most "Diva" Thing He's Seen Mariah Carey Do
Nick Cannon got super candid about ex-wife Mariah Carey while in the hot seat on The Wendy Williams show Thursday.
The 36-year-old TV and radio personality was asked the "60 degree question" of "What's the most diva thing that you've ever seen Mariah do?"
"Have twins," Cannon replied, joking, "She shut the whole hospital down."
"When they was born, she made me play her music as they was coming out," he continued. "It was a fantasy. They was dancing...to "Fantasy."
Cannon and Carey share twins Monroe and Moroccan, who will turn 6 this weekend on what would have been the former couple's ninth anniversary.
Cannon has told the birth story before.
"Now my wife wanted to make sure that when the babies came out, that they came out not only to a Mariah Carey song, but a live performance from Mariah Carey—her Madison Square performance of 'Fantasy'—so they came out to a round of applause," he told Gayle King in 2011.
He and Carey have been hanging out more often in recent weeks, with their twins. Cannon told Williams he sometimes sleeps over at the singer's house, in their twins' room.
"Are you and Mariah still sleeping together?" Williams asked. "In my mind, you are and there would be nothing wrong with that."
"There would be nothing wrong with that," Cannon replied. "But that's not the case."
"There's nothing but unconditional love there," he continued. "I mean, she's gorgeous but, you know, I'm respectful. I put the kids to bed and I go home."
Williams joked that Cannon was the one who broke up Carey's subsequent relationships with two boyfriends, including ex-fiancé James Packer, who had taken her and the twins on vacation on a luxury yacht last year.
"I wanted her to be with the billionaire!" Cannon responded. "More yachts for everybody!"
"I'm just there to support my children," he added. "Whatever she wants to do with her personal life, I support her. I just want her to be happy."
