The Daily Cannon host, Nick Cannon, 42, appeared on Jason Lee's podcast and revealed to handle Mariah Carey's kids in quite different style as compared to raising other kids being a father of 12 kids.
I think he's more like me because he's funny but he be talking s---. The few times we have let him go, he does it so classy. They said something about his mom, and he said, 'Hold up,' He was on Twitch. He's like, 'First of all, I don't discuss any of my family issues and I feel like you're being disrespectful right now. That's not why I'm here, so if you're going to continue to ask me questions, I'm going to ask you to remove yourself.'
I love it, but Mariah is more of a private person, which I understand. So it's a balance, it's alignment. I let them run. They make TikTok videos with me and do all this stuff. And they do it with Mariah too, but I let them have a little bit more freedom, especially stepping into the place of being almost teenagers. She's high frequency. She's like, 'You alright? How you doing? You handling it all?' And she's like, 'As long as you don't bring that bulls--- to the manor of Carey.' She lives in her own world. Nothing can infiltrate that. When we talk daily, she just checks in on my spirit.
We're at dinner the night before that and I'm like, 'Did some s--- happen that I don't know about?' People will create low-frequency messages to try to say there's something wrong. She encourages me like, 'Yo, let's make sure we're on the same page every day so we know if some bulls--- comes up, we know it ain't that.'
