How Mariah Carey Savagely 'Poured Cold Water' on Ex Nick Cannon's 'Dream' Revealed

Nick Cannon had a unique proposal for Mariah Carey - to form a family band consisting of their kids.

While the former couple's twins, Moroccan and Monroe, were intended to be part of this group along with his other children from different relationships, sources close to them claim that the "Through the Rain" singer rejected it. It would appear that Nick believes they would become famous by doing so.

Someone close to the family reported that Nick was confident his kids had what it took to be successful as a musical group, according to a report by Radar Online. However, Mariah quickly dispelled his enthusiasm, unwilling to have her children compete with the attention of his other nine offspring from five different unions.

Mariah revels in her motherhood, often taking to social media to highlight her twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

One memorable moment was a video of the two youngsters plus their furry friends singing Mariah's beloved carol, "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

Nick, too, has shared TikTok videos with the pair, showing them partaking in popular dance trends.

The father of 12, five of which being younger than one year old, was thrown into grief in December 2021 when his son Zen passed away after a long fight with brain cancer.

Furthermore, the Grammy award-winning singer also had initially planned to gain primary custody of the twins; however, this never ended up happening due to an alteration in her standpoint.

Monroe and Moroccan usually stayed with Mariah anyway.

Speaking against recent speculation, Nick firmly dismissed the idea that he pays $3 million a year for child support.

Instead, he divulged to the LA Timesthat his expenses call for a yearly income of $100 million. "When you consider my way of life," he explained, "I've got to bring home at least that much."

Nick spoke about how he has learned to manage his large family and other criticisms. He explained that he puts more emphasis on actually being a good person rather than trying to tell people that he is.

"These days I just operate without worrying about what people know about me," said the "Wild and Out" host. "It's become clear to me that it's better to show you're a good person, not just say it."
