Nick Cannon Files For Divorce From Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon‘s split is nearing official status.

Numerous new reports confirm that Cannon filed for divorce from the legendary diva last month.

Details below…

TMZ reports:

We found out Nick filed papers December 12. The date is relevant because on December 2, Mariah showed up 3 hours late to tape a segment for the NBC tree-lighting special.

At the time we reported Mariah was on the phone with her lawyers going over the terms of her property settlement. That syncs up with Nick filing papers a week later, after they hashed out a deal.

On the surface, it’s somewhat surprising that Nick started proceedings, as  he publicly went to bat for the the marriage once news initially hit that there was trouble in paradise.

That said, there’s every chance his filing was merely a formality in what was likely a financially complicated “uncoupling”.

On a somewhat random note, one also has to wonder if Mimi’s new Vegas deal had any bearing on proceedings?

Whatever the case, we wish Carey and Cannon the best.

      … add drunk, add diva, and add spoiled

      • TheElusiveLamb January 16, 2015

        How is a woman that grew up with nothing spoiled? She worked her ass off to get her networth, so she can do whatever she want.

    • Missy January 16, 2015

      She is a beautiful person who made a mistake marrying A CHILD WHO STAYS OUT ALL NITE DJ’ING at clubs and who has 20 jobs;

      WHILE YOU COMPLAIN SHES A BARBIE…..how many millions do you have HOOD RAT. She’s worth $500 million; so I guess your WIG is snatched.

  2. CT January 16, 2015

    Damn… if he snatches half…

  3. DEL BEY January 16, 2015

    Sorry to hear that mimi, she deserves to be happy, I shall be listening to the Butterfly album assuming she’s doing the same

  4. CT January 16, 2015

    If he takes half her money half her wigs and half her vocal cords the lambs will seethe…

    • Onika Maraj January 16, 2015

      If he snatches half of her vocal chords then she will have no vocals left.

      • CT January 16, 2015

        Kii

      • OMG Logic!!! January 16, 2015

        Still more chords than Onika’s ever had.

      • TheElusiveLamb January 16, 2015

        If SB takes half of Nicki’s songwriting, then Nicki has nothing left…

    • #1Lamb January 16, 2015

      If you could bank a quarter of what she makes I would be thankful for the turn around in the energy you put out.

  5. Paulo January 16, 2015

    she shoulda listened to C Milian but I bet she thought that he wouldn’t do to her what he did to a C-lister. poor Mimi. I hope she signed a good pre-nup.

  6. Cowriah The Queen January 16, 2015

    Guess he got tired of her mooing and having to milk her for his breakfast cereal..

  7. Slay_Hive January 16, 2015

    Good now put her back in the ocean where she belongs #FreeMariah #WhaleDiva

  8. King January 16, 2015

    Emancipation of Mimi 2.0 coming for your lives next year.

  9. Grande The Way January 16, 2015

    That is sad to hear.

  10. #1Lamb January 16, 2015

    Sad to hear but her fans know good music will come out this. When I saw her live at the Christmas show she was vocally on point for new voice Mariah. She seems focused

  11. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT January 16, 2015

    50% Nick, 50 percent!!!!!! This is karma. Mariah is such a bítch. Nick got tired of her bossy diva antics. It gets old really fast. On a positive note, she has Vegas, so she’ll bounce back. Bye Mariah.

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 16, 2015

      B**** you sound stupid. I don’t see the “karma” in a divorce. Divorces happen everyday dumbass.

      • I STAN(D) FOR TALENT January 16, 2015

        Of course you don’t. You don’t see any problem with her. You don’t see any flaws with Mariah. I mean why would you? lol. Poor child.

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 16, 2015

        You still don’t make any sense. No one is perfect but you know nothing about their relationship and arrangements. You clearly don’t have a valid argument which makes this whole “karma” thing B.S. Just stop

    • #1Lamb January 16, 2015

      Everyone has flaws. What is really comical is how some assume they know what happened in this marriage or any other persons life outside their own.
      assume= an ass

  12. Meteorite January 16, 2015

    Well as tragic as this is, I always felt Mariah could do better…However I do think she will benefit from the divorce more than Nick will. Hopefully this will serve as inspiration for a new album and 2nd coming via Emancipation era. But look on the bright side Mimi you still got your health, Dem Babies and more cash then I will ever have lol. You’ll find love again I am sure.

  13. Iggy Queen January 16, 2015

    He deserves half for having to put up with her craziness. she seems mentally unstable.

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) January 16, 2015

      But Uggly is u stable on the charts. ONIKA dragging her untalented ass back to Australia

    • OMG Logic!!! January 16, 2015

      B**** he didn’t earn a cent of that money. His scrawny a$$ better not try it.

  14. Whaleriah January 16, 2015

    She’ll be just fine, I heard that her residency at sea world is already selling out…

  15. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT January 16, 2015

    One couple that will last is Thirsty Thiefoncé and her pimp. She probably acts like her s**** or maid, sucking Gay Z’s díck and giving him daily lap dances while Blue Gravy watches. Poor child. She doesn’t know what her parent are like or who they really are, ’cause they sure as hell don’t act like role models. 🙁

  16. Mark111 January 16, 2015

    Women need to start dating UP and not down. That’s one thing Beyonce did right. No one takes Nick seriously and if MC had if payed him dust, he’s lil Nick Jr career would had been ended. Same with Ciara, like what are you thinking?!

  17. BELLA MARLENE FAVELA January 16, 2015

    watch her gain 180ibs and actually become mother Christmas (Santa wife) 🙁

    • Terny January 18, 2015

      You obviously didn’t watch her on Ellen… Sit!_/

  18. CATFISH CAREY January 16, 2015

    SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE REJECTED EMINEM
    HE WOULD HAVE TREATED HER LIKE A QUEEN

    • JOHNVIDAL January 16, 2015

      That b****** treating a woman like a queen? How? LOL

  19. MISHKA January 16, 2015

    Sad news but I give props to Mariah for picking the right guy to marry and to have children with.

    Most of the time, I feel sorry for our African American Divas because they have to find their way in a sea full of ninjas who happen to be millionnaires. Most of those ninjas tend to drive the divas confused with their antics (Chico DeBarge, Bobby Brown, K-Ci from Jodeci, Future, Chris Brown).

    Good for Mariah for picking a guy who puts the kids first and who did not drive her crazy during their marriage.

    I wish them both the best.

  20. JOHNVIDAL January 16, 2015

    Congrats to Mariah. After some years that I know were very happy with someone younger and funny and perfect to have children this is a needed new start, and she has handled it surprisingly good it seems. She looks great and the tour did wonders for her and her voice.

  21. #1Lamb January 16, 2015

    I was always on the fence of her being with him because, on hand he is super fine and on the hush a money maker, but on the other he was super silly and somewhat of a corn ball (comedy wise). There is no balance between two personalities like that. Mariah needs a Mr. Bigs to her girly Carie.

    • Meteorite January 16, 2015

      Are you saying Nick is like Adian?
      Cause there are only two types of guys in the world an Adian or a Mr Big.

  22. Biting Truth January 16, 2015

    Who could blame him? Being married to a lunatic like her had to be taxing. We all know that Mariah can’t get her day without vodka and Prozac. Old broad is drunk and insane.

    • Tinashe stan January 16, 2015

      LMAO

  23. Rocnar January 16, 2015

    They were always a ridiculous looking couple anyway. Together, they two of them resembled a live action version of Kermit the Frog and Ms. Piggy.

  24. Stephy Jackson January 16, 2015

    He is not getting half of her fortune. He has his OWN money. Also, he has already explained multiple times that most of these “stories” are BS.

  25. Career Ender January 16, 2015

    lol at the comments
    .
    hope they all get over it quickly
    .
    God doesn’t like divorce

  26. Jake January 17, 2015

    But wait , Mariah has LA home NY penthouse , Aspen house and Bahamas house before she got married to Nick … Maybe they sold her old LA house an then bought a new one together , but what does the man want with properties she had 10 year before she even knew him ? And I know for a fact he ain’t gonna get much of that 500 millions so why all that mess ?

  27. MariahIsMusic1 January 17, 2015

    I never liked him anyways.

  28. Terny January 18, 2015

    Mariah’s moving back to Sony/Epic..#Rumour. If this is true, She winning already.. If u ask me, Nick was a distraction from her career..
