Watch: Mariah Carey 20/20 Interview (Full), ‘Dem Babies’ Debuted *UPDATED*

Published: Friday 21st Oct 2011 by Rashad

Proud mom and pop  Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey have finally unveiled their greatest work yet – twins Monroe and Moroccan Cannon.  Born April 30, the superstar celebrity couple invited 20/20’s Barbara Walters into their lavish New York home to give the world their first peek at the 5 month old duo.

Also speaking on marriage, music, and motherhood, the ‘Honey’ hitmaker went into great detail about the challenges that accompanied the pregnancy, her previous miscarriage, and more.

And, while initial word of Walters’ interview with the Cannons launched a full-on media frenzy as passing glimpses of the twins were used in promo clips of the 20/20 showing,  now fans of the ‘Always Be My Baby’ singer can see the new two in full view.

  8. ME October 21, 2011

    this is so cute!!!

  9. Salem October 21, 2011

    They look like they have down syndrome. Not being funny but that’s my take

  10. Salem October 21, 2011

    Btw, the girl look like Mariah and the boy look like Nick and Mariah

  11. Geronimo Deuces-Champion October 21, 2011

    @salem

    u r mean…………… those babies r the cutest thing ever

  12. Ms Lovely October 21, 2011

    @The G-List Society

    What the f*** does this have to do with Beyonece?!? I swear you dumb haters are way obsessed with Beyonce than her actually fans.

    Anyhow Dem babies are cute

  13. Phoenix October 21, 2011

    They’re so cute but is it me or they don’t look like their dad at all?

  14. The G-List Society October 21, 2011

    Salem’s mom has down syndrome

  15. Ms Lovely October 21, 2011

    The boy favours Mariah and the girl favours Nick. However the looks are subjected to change as the get older.

  16. Queensize October 21, 2011

    So cute! Those are going to be 2 spoiled kids.

  17. Salem October 21, 2011

    @Geronimo Deuces-Champion

    How am I mean for that? That is my opinion and an innocent observation. They are cute but they look like they have some kind of problem which is why I believe she was in the hospital for so long before she was released, and why she took so long to reveal them

  18. Ziggy Stardust October 21, 2011

    They are so cute!!!!!!! I’m so glad she waited for awhile to show the world her kids. She spend the first few months with them alone and with her husband. Her and Nick look very happy, and he looks like he’s very supportive of her. Kudos to Mariah and Nick!

  19. The G-List Society October 21, 2011

    Of course, Ms Lovely’s uneducated ass had to cuss me out…a true Beyonce “I’m lying about being pregnant because I am desperate to remain relevant and I’m paying That Grape Juice to blow me up” Knowles stan that h** is. Gurl, bye!

  20. Lisa October 21, 2011

    @salem you are an idiot, those kids are precious. Maybe your kids would have down syndrome. If you saw the interview you would see that they took them a little early and she had a c section and earlier reported that she did not want to leave the hospital without her babies. Idiot. Hope your kids come out healthy.

  21. Teairra October 21, 2011

    they are cute!!!!!!!!!

  22. Beyonce’s Belly October 21, 2011

    Those are some science experimental kids. My baby will be the real deal

  23. The G-List Society October 21, 2011

    BEYONCE’S BELLY must be talking about her surrogate mother’s babies that she and Jay-Z paid $5million for…

  24. TIMMI October 21, 2011

    @SALEM

    You and your stupid ass theories.

    “They are cute but they look like they have some kind of problem which is why I believe she was in the hospital for so long before she was released, and why she took so long to reveal them.”

    Firstly, they were in hospital for a little longer than normal because the twins were born prematurely and from a C-section.

    Secondly, she took long to reveal them because

    a) Bringing two new lives into the world is an INTIMATE moment that she should have time to enjoy and keep precious and “intimate” with her family, before plastering their faces over the world…

    b) Releasing new born photos is worthless, most newborn babies look the same, there is absolutely no indication of how the children are going to look. Even at 6 months their photos do not provide an indication of how the children will look…

    And thirdly… If the children had the condition you speak of, or any other condition, how would you expect an A-list celebrity to hide that from the world forever? What sense would hiding it for 6 months then exposing the children on ABC, viewed by millions, make?

    The answer is NO SENSE AT ALL.

    And if it don’t make sense, IT AIN’T TRUE.

  25. Theman October 21, 2011

    They are nice looking kiddos. Look fine to me. This women deserves all of her blessings.

  26. Salem October 21, 2011

    @TIMMI

    Nobody is trying to read that long ass essay. I wonder if they were premature because of that Jack Daniel bottle Mariah’s addicted to.? Afterall, wasn’t it reported that she was investigated for drinking strong arm liquor round them kids???

    Things that make you go hmm…

  27. Theman October 21, 2011

    The way the pic was taken is awkward but they all look nice. Mariah looks great as well. Shout out to Nick because he does his thing to. He holds down alot of jobs, and makes his own millions. He was/is already rich hiself.

  28. Theman October 21, 2011

    Get your stupid crack head a** outta here. She cleared all of that up. She went furter than most women that have twins as well. You really are ignorant. Why do these crazies come in here with their stupidity. Where the spam spray when you need it.

  29. Mrsjones October 21, 2011

    Omg they are sooo adorable!

  30. Salem October 21, 2011

    @TheMan

    The truth hurts doesn’t it?

  31. Classy_Guy October 21, 2011

    YESSS Mariah!!! The babies are so gorgeous and I wish Mariah, Nick, and The Babies nothing but the best! But did anyone her Barbara say “mariahs net worth is estimated at over a half of billion dollars”??? She so deserves it and she made most of it off of her music alone! Mariah never really toured and no endorsement deals until up around 2005! Most artists make their money from touring because music doesn’t sell well anymore! Get it Mariah and Nick

  32. danny b October 21, 2011

    I missed the memo on why they’re called “Dem Babies”?
    Can someone fill me in pweeeze?

    But VERY BEAUTIFUL interview. I love her.

  33. The Naked Truth October 21, 2011

    SOOOOOO HAPPY FOR THEM!!!

    THOSE BABIES ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!

  34. danny b October 21, 2011

    The fact that you all have to bring up Beyonce’s name in an article that is SOLELY about Mariah is just…….

    Queen Bey stays on all your minds 25/8, every milisecond of your pathetic lame ass lives. Youre all undercover stans that need to be exposed.

  35. danny b October 21, 2011

    Correction: “KING B” ^^^

  36. Diane October 21, 2011

    I didn’t like the way Mariah answered Barbara’s questions about her love and trust for Nick.

  37. 100% REAL October 21, 2011

    @DIANE – I agree with you on that. I think Mariah still have some residual anger towards Tommy Motola and what he did to her through out their marriage. So, it appears that she still has some “trust” issues when it comes to men. I hope she can work those issues out, because Nick seems like a cool guy. I hope she doesn’t put him down in public like that again. Other than that, I wish them nothing but the best.

  38. BOBBY D October 22, 2011

    Congratulations to Mariah and Nick! dem babies are sooooo adorable!!!!!

    has everyone seen the photo album at http://www.dembabies.com ????

    check em out!!!

    love me some MC!!! untouchable. thats why she got so many haters!

    =D

  39. JazThatBoi October 22, 2011

    @Salem i honestly dont think they have any sickness. The girl looks pretty normal (very cute). and the boy just has a big head…which im sure he will grow into. lol…and is normal…(alot of white babies have huge heads…just being real)…And the way Nick was holding him had his eye press against his chest which made him look weird. But yea u def hating. Those kids are fine

  40. Chica October 22, 2011

    Dem Babies are adorable.

    Roe is such a Diva already, posing for the cameras. Can’t wait to see Roc’s personality develop.

  41. VA STAND UP!!! October 22, 2011

    LMAO at ‘Dem babies’. TGJ using slang now?! Ok then……

    Anywho, they really are soo adorable! Its too soon to really tell who they look like more right now they just look like babies. The boy, Moroccan does seem to have a very large head though. I wonder if maybe he does have a condition. *shrugs*

    I remember when I first heard that Nick & Mariah had got married and I couldn’t see what she saw in his young ass! Everyone was like ‘What does she see in him”, and ‘It won’t last’ but they have definitely proved everyone wrong. It’s only been like for years but they’re so comfortable with each other and they do seem genuinely happy and they compliment each other so well. They seem like each others best friend! Their like Will & Jada now, you can’t imagine them not together!

    Congrats to MiMi and Nick and those beautiful babies! Can’t wait to see how they look as they get older!

  42. ChristinasCOMING October 22, 2011

    I have a newfound respect for Mariah not exploiting dem babies right after they were born. This was such a tasteful classy way to introduce them to the world.

    It’s a damn shame that a lot of other celebrities already have the photographers waiting at their house before they even get home from the hospital and the following week their baby face is on the front of every magazine.

    Now Mariah, you need to drop Nicks triflin ass because you know he ain’t faithful. How the hell you gon say you trust him sometimes then contradict yourself only because he spoke up. Nick cheated in all his past relationships and you know he cheats on Mariah. Honey, you and your 100 million bank account don’t need his $20 bank account.

    Anyway dem babies are beautiful and precious.

  43. Theman October 22, 2011

    Sometimes kiddos have plump heads. They are nice looking. The angle of the pic as a whole is weird. Mariah didn’t say nothing all that bad. Haters are fishing for something. @Selam your irrelevant now shut up and move on.

  44. ChristinasCOMING October 22, 2011

    Anyway

    When I first saw that little girl, I saw 100% Mariah in her. She already got her demeanor and errything else just by the way she lookin at the camera. The boy on the other half looks like a combo of Mimi and Nick. He looks like he gon be that kind of boy that’s like “what’s goin on” just because of how distracted he looks in that picture.

  45. Shea Butter October 22, 2011

    B**** is paid!!!! Half a billion dollars!!!

  46. Lakeshia October 22, 2011

    CUTEST THANG EVAH!!!

  47. Lakeshia October 22, 2011

    @SHEA BUTTER

    Well, atleast she a “half a billion dollar” richer than you!

  48. beyonce adele fan October 22, 2011

    Waiting for baby cater to come and shut it DOWN we all know what’s going to happen once she or he arrives lol already a factor in the womb ow and cute kids mariah get it!!! #BROOKLN DEROEN CATER STAN

  49. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) October 22, 2011

    I’m against people who get their kids on TV.It’s a disgrace…Babies, toddlers and kids do NOT belong on TV and no matter how famous you are, this is a part of your personal life that you need to keep for yourself, for your kids’ sake.

    Anyway, Mariah looks beautiful and so do the babies.

  50. Truth Seeker October 22, 2011

    DemBabies are beautiful. 🙂

  51. Mercifer October 22, 2011

    I doubt Mariah is worth that much. Maybe 250mill 300 mill tops which is still living large. The net worth’s are just reported income not including tax deductions and all that other stuff; and sometimes marketing and PR amp up these celebs net worths for bragging rights.

    Her perfumes sells moderately and although she has 18 #1s, they’re mostly forgettable and not still earning her money because they’re never played that much, especially not half a billion worth. No way in the World Mariah has the same amount of money as Madonna

    Babies are cutie pies. I sensed some animosity between Nick and Mariah in this interview, particularly from Mariah. She looks like she is a b**** in the relationship, and Nick will soon leaver ass

    Pay no mind to this HATER ^^^ This person is clearly ill advised. Her perfumes have done quite well. Are you her accountant. No you are not. I wouldn’t be suprised if she’s worth that much, between all of her successful ventures. The woman is paid. The distributors of her perfume said that they are doing very well. Singles forgettable hardly. Most of them are classic, and alot of them still get played. Could you be anymore wrong…… Animosity? I don’t see it. I see them being them joking around and just being genuine. She doesn’t have to front for no one. Look at the lames always trying to focus on miniscule things.

  53. Theman October 22, 2011

    It is very possible for her to have as much money as Madonna. She’s just as successful as her if not more. One could easily question Madonna’s reported networth. When you’re worth hundreds of millions of dollars bragging is trivial. She even said that she doesn’t like talking about money beause it’s tacky.

  54. Chris October 22, 2011

    Adorable babies, indeed! 🙂

  55. Tucker October 22, 2011

    I’m ROFL on shady comments ’bout Mimi bringin’ up DemBabies in d spotlight.

    One thing for sure, she didn’t reveal them ASAP!

  56. antertain October 22, 2011

    Good that Nick stands up 4himself and his views cus Mariah jus has music on those childrens minds.

    Mariah looks GREAT btw & the children came out good looking so far so thats a plus.

  57. RATEDXx(delusional is a hell of a drug) October 22, 2011

    i love that my Mimi has finally found happyness, when a man that loves her and children…

    I never thought I would see the day when my Mimi would settled down…

    nick cannon has his own money..dude is paid..just because hes not out there in the public bragging about his millions doesnt mean hes broke..

    i dont know why people always think just because u out there in the public eye, pushing urself down everybody’s throat means u richer than somebody whos not in the public eye
    ..
    best believe half of these people on forbes list aint making all that money they brag about…

  58. RATEDXx(delusional is a hell of a drug) October 22, 2011

    and fyi for the people whos worrying about Mimis bank account..

    1.shes getting paid from her perfume sales

    2.she actually writes some of her songs..so she gets songwritting money…songwritting money, is where the money at

    3.all her tours, albums sales, perfume money stays in the bank, because her ass is not getting sued every second

  59. YOOSONDALOOSE October 22, 2011

    #dembabies are so cute!

  60. Dane October 22, 2011

    Aww…this is cute.. 🙂
    Now Mariah, make ur come-back and show them ‘fake/gimmick driven’ Artists on the scene rite now how its done! Gosh I need sum good Music to listen to!
    P.S. Artists besides Mariah that are WORTH making a come-back IMO includes: Christina Aguilera, Toni Braxton & Brandy…anyone else?

  61. JohnVidal October 22, 2011

    That was so cute. When Barbara, Mariah and Nick entered the room and those babies appeared on the screen it was so lovely.
    Monroe is already posing! She always looks at the camera. The boy seems more calm. They are so cute
    Anyway, who is the fool that said Mariah doesn´t get that much money from songwriting cos her songs are forgetable and are not played nowadays????????? LOLOL B**** you are retarded! Only “All I want for Xmas is you” is played and sold all over the world every f****** year! You can imagine if you add all the classics she has. This is not Rihanna we are talking about, not even Beyonce. She is the most succesful songwriter of the last 20 years, said by Billboard. B**** just get your facts straight. You don´t know about music industry and who are the true divas and true greats

  62. gus October 22, 2011

    dembabies so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Mariah is beautiful women. I can’t wait for new music! she is a legend, she is music, she is the quenn, she’s a rela Diva! love her!!!!

    They look like they have down syndrome. Not being funny but that’s my take
    _______________________________________________________

    I think its just the angle in which he is positioned ‘coz’ he does look like he could have DS. She looks just like MC. Nik & MC look very happy so I’m happy for them!

    noemie one of your fan

  77. tatyana April 15, 2012

    They Are So Cute. And I Agree That The Boy Looks Like He May Be Autistic. I Seems A Recent Picture And His Eyes Are Farther Apart Then Normal. But Who Cares They Are Beautiful! The Girl Is So Cute. I Think It Would Have Been Cute If She Named On Marilyn And The Other One Monroe Lol.
