Nick Cannon speaks on why his marriage ended with singer Mariah Carey.
While on “The GAUDS Show” podcast, Cannon shared the struggles he experienced and how her fame affected him. “I got married in my 20s still to the biggest star in the world. My trajectory was [lower], than hers, she’s already in a different stratosphere,” he said.
He continued, “I would lay up at night thinking like, ‘Is this who I am? Am I Mariah’s man? Is that what my life is supposed to be?’” Cannon also revealed that he began to question his “manhood” while married to Carey, and after they had their twins in 2011.
“I’m carrying a purse, the diaper bag… she rocking being the Alpha that she is. I believe she needs a dude like that, I’m just not that dude,” he added. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon got married in 2008 and were married for eight years before getting a divorce.
He shared that he is very appreciative of Carey and the support that she has given him, even with the drama surrounding him and the additional 10 children he had since breaking up.
