Nick Cannon Defends Ex Mariah Carey’s Disastrous NYE Performance

Oh, you thought we were done talking about Mariah Carey’s disastrous New Year’s Eve performance. Well, think again. Mariah’s ex-husband Nick Cannon is on The Ellen Degeneres Show today, and finally addressed that horrendous performance. As we all know, Mariah blamed the production team for her failed performance, but Nick had a different idea as to why it was so bad. Nick joked, “I think the government did that, they set that up. That was a distraction.”

He continued to defend his ex, and even brought up his own experience with technical difficulties. “Anyone who knows about performing and having inner ears and stuff like that, things like that can go wrong on live television. I screw up on ‘America’s Got Talent’ all the time. When there’s people in your ears, saying things and stuff, I think she got kinda busted. But being the diva that she is, she was like, ‘I’m just going to walk around and pose.'”

Nick filed for divorce from Mariah in 2014, but the exes have remained quite close and are constantly photographed together with their twins, Monroe and Moroccan.
