Nick Cannon Separation Update: Nick Blasts Media in Twitter Rant, Yeezy-Style
Nick Cannon has maintained “radio silence” ever since news broke of his separation from wife, Mariah Carey. On Wednesday, Cannon took to Twitter in an epic 19-tweet rant and ripped into the media for negative reporting on his marriage.
After vanishing from the public to ward off the avalanche of criticism and prodding eyes from a gossip-thirsty public, the America’s Got Talent host rose out of the ashes like the Phoenix and went on a Twitter rampage that can best be described with two words: Kanye West, citing an Insider report.
For clarity, Nick Cannon didn’t “quit” social media, as some celebs often do when they suffer from foot-in-mouth-disease. Instead, he was busy in the background retweeting and posting occasional plugs for his AGT and Wild ‘N Out families.
But when he decided to plug back in and address rumors of his separation from Mariah Carey, Nick did a full-on blitz, and slayed anyone in his way, much like he does on his MTV show.
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.
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
I love @MariahCarey and that will never change!!!
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
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…
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
I apologize to anyone who’s gotten caught up in this unwarranted drama.
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
BTW Shouts out to the so called “Sources”!

I hope the check was worth it… @
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
Don’t worry about my life, worry about why you’re worried about my life!
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
And finally, ‘Trouble in Paradise’ is the dumbest phrase I’ve ever heard! I would never say that sh!t
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming… #radiosilence

After getting a few things off his chest about his marital crisis with Mariah Carey, Nick is likely boasting to the media and yelling, “King Kong ain’t got nothing on me!”
In all seriousness, it’s likely been turmoil for one of Hollywood’s most high-profile couples; divorce and separation can be challenging and enormously stressful life-changing events.
Nick and Mariah’s rumored divorce is not all that shocking, given the culture that exists among famous people, especially those that are well-known in their careers.
It gets particularly hair-raising when children are involved in marital separations. In regards to their twins, affectionately called “Dembabies,” Nick Cannon’s divorce or separation can spiral out of control in a jiffy. Up to this point, matters appear to be civil, as evidenced from Nick’s professed love of Mimi. Let’s just hope it remains that way — for the kids’ sake.
For whatever it’s worth, after Nick’s rant on Twitter, Kanye is likely one proud camper.
