Nick Cannon has had enough with the rumors surrounding the fate of his relationship with wife Mariah Carey, and he’s taken to Twitter to set the record straight.
The 33-year-old “America’s Got Talent” host posted a series of tweets Wednesday evening, Sept. 3, slamming the media portrayal of his marriage and claiming some quotes attributed to him are fake.
Cannon 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…

What infuriates me most is to hear people slander @MariahCarey . I will forever be in debted to her for blessing me with our children…
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
I will always love her unconditionally for this and so much more. @MariahCarey is an amazing Mother and I trust her wholeheartedly…
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
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!!!

If the media wants to portray me as the Bad guy that’s fine…
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
But it is unfair to drag innocent people into the equation…
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
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.

BTW Shouts out to the so called “Sources”!

“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

The tweet before last seemingly refers to his interview with Yahoo’s The Insider host Chris Spencer last month, in which Cannon was quoted as saying: “There is trouble in paradise. We have been living in separate houses for a few months.”
The father of two later tweeted about the season finale of his show, “Wild ‘N Out.” Mariah Carey hasn’t addressed the rumors via her social media channels yet.
