*Nick Cannon says ex-wife Mariah Carey is “a gift from God.”
“I was 12 years old with Mariah Carey pictures on my wall, and that becomes my wife. And the fact that she’s the coolest person I ever met,” he said in an interview with The Shade Room.
“No matter what’s happening in life. I’m like, ‘Wow, a person can really operate like that and don’t allow negative energy into their space,’” Cannon said about the global superstar.
The rapper and TV host is a father to 12 children with six different women, including 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe whom he shares with Carey.

Last year, he welcomed baby number 12 and his second with model Alyssa Scott. Cannon and Scott named their baby Halo Marie Cannon. Her birth came a year after the death of their son Zen — who was 5 months old when he died of brain cancer.
He also shares sons Rise Messiah and Golden Sagon as well as daughter Powerful Queen with model Brittany Bell.
Additionally, there’s daughter Beautiful Zeppelin and twins Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa. And Cannon shares son Legendary Love with model Bre Tiesi and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with model LaNisha Cole.
Cannon recently admitted that his “biggest guilt” is not being able to spend enough quality time with all his children.
“No matter what’s happening in life. I’m like, ‘Wow, a person can really operate like that and don’t allow negative energy into their space,’” Cannon said about Carey in his interview with The Shade Room. The pair wed in 2008 but separated in 2014 before pulling the plug on their marriage in 2016.
“I get a lot of this delightful disposition from her,” Cannon added. “She’s just always happy, always doing for others.”
“When I found out about how remarkable she was… that woman is not human. She’s a gift from God,” he said.
