Nick Cannon is not letting rumours about his ‘split’ with Mariah Carey wash over him.
The America’s Got Talent host went on an almighty Twitter rant and insists he still loves his wife “unconditionally” and he never made a statement about his marriage to the superstar or used the phrase “trouble in paradise”.
However, Nick, who is believed to have been living separately from the singer for the past few months, did admit it has been a “difficult time” for the pair and their three-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.
In a series of almost 20 tweets, he wrote: “I have personally been absent from social media for the past few months for obvious reasons but I feel the need to finally speak up…
“During this challenging time for me and my family it saddens me that the media can be such evil bottom feeders…
“Because my family & I haven’t been forthcoming with personal information, people are quick to paint negative pictures and spread rumours.
“For the record I NEVER have, nor will I make a statement regarding my marriage.
“So whatever your favorite gossip outlet is reporting has been created within their own imagination…
“At this difficult time I would ask all civilized people to please respect my family and this process…”
The former Nickelodeon star, 33, who tied the knot with the 44-year-old beauty in 2008, also defended his wife against those he has heard slandering her and praised her for being a great mother to his two children.
He wrote on Twitter: “What infuriates me most is to hear people slander @MariahCarey. I will forever be in debted to her for blessing me with our children…
“I will always love her unconditionally for this and so much more. @MariahCarey is an amazing Mother and I trust her wholeheartedly…
“So to see false reports in the media stating otherwise is absurd! While I would like to remain silent I can no longer allow this to happen.
“I love @MariahCarey and that will never change!!!”
The star also rubbished rumours that he had been unfaithful to the Hero singer and said that if the media wants to portray him as a bad guy “that’s fine”, adding: “But it is unfair to drag innocent people into the equation…”
He continued: “Others have lives, families, and careers and for the media to slander them is down right evil and illegal…
“I apologize to anyone who’s gotten caught up in this unwarranted drama.”
He then sarcastically gave a “shout out” to the so-called ‘sources’ who have been speaking to the press in the US about his marriage and revealing details about the pair’s rumoured fall-out, asking if the cheque was “worth it”.
Nick then added: “Don’t worry about my life, worry about why you’re worried about my life!
“And finally, “Trouble in Paradise” is the dumbest phrase I’ve ever heard! I would never say that sh!t
“Now back to your regularly scheduled programming… #radiosilence.”
We’re still no close to finding out whether they will get their marriage back on track, but we’re thankful Nick managed to clear up a heap of rumours in the best Twitter rant in months.
