Nick Cannon claims Mariah Carey doesn’t ‘even know who Kim Kardashian is’

wenn21008551

Nick Cannon has been all over the place for a few weeks promoting his new album, White People Party Music. It has been… not good. Nick did “whiteface” on his Instagram, and he’s still dealing with the fallout from the backlash – this week, he was booed at a Knicks game, for the love of God. But Nick keeps talking and it’s sort of funny. First of all, he admitted in an interview that pre-Mariah, he dated (and banged) Kim Kardashian. Nick was listing all of the famous women he’s slept with in his life, and this was the list: “Mariah Carey…Christina Milian, Nicole Scherzinger, Selita Ebanks … oh, Kim Kardashian!” It was news to me, but I figured it happened a decade ago or so, back when Kim would do anyone who could get her famous. It was transactional. Anyway, Nick did a Howard Stern interview on Wednesday and Stern asked him how Mariah reacted to the Kardashian revelation:

Nick Cannon never holds back in interviews — but his wife, Mariah Carey, wishes he would. During an interview with shock jock Howard Stern on Wednesday, April 2, the America’s Got Talent host said he got in trouble with Carey because of a different interview with Stern, in which the two talked about Cannon’s past sexual conquests.

“People feel like they can ask me anything, because I say anything. I’m brutally honest, and now my wife doesn’t like when I come on your show!” he told Stern. “She doesn’t care when I talk about our sex life, because our sex life is amazing. She’s one of the most beautiful women in the world. But…when we bring up — I’m not gonna do it — other people’s names, she’s like, ‘Why would you even do that?'”

“Oh, the other people you’ve had sex with,” Stern replied. “That drives a woman nuts.”

“Absolutely, and I understand why, especially [for] a woman on the level of my wife,” the 33-year-old “Me Sexy” rapper said. “So I got in a lot of trouble, and I gotta stop talking about my past.”

Stern claimed that Carey was most upset that Cannon talked about sleeping with Kim Kardashian. (Back in 2012, he said he dumped the reality star because she lied about her sex tape.) However, Cannon said that wasn’t the case.

“You know, I don’t think so, no. ‘Cause honestly, my wife, she don’t even know who Kim Kardashian is,” the Drumline actor said. “She doesn’t pay attention to that. I think it was more about the fact…[that I spent] time on my past.”

“And then, remember, we had that conversation about women’s hygiene that everybody loved except for my wife,” he continued, referring to their 2013 chat about his past girlfriends’, ahem, private parts. “She took it in a way almost as if I was including her in the conversation, which — we weren’t talking about her. The most amazing sex I’ve ever had is with my wife.”

[From Us Weekly]

“She don’t even know who Kim Kardashian is”…? Probably in the same way that Mariah doesn’t know who Jennifer Lopez is, amirite? I wonder what Mariah’s beef is with the Kardashians. I bet it goes a lot further than “Nick once banged Kim.”

Nick also discussed Mariah’s recent comments about nannies, which CB covered a few months ago. Mariah said in another radio interview:

“Unfortunately I have to have nannies but I’m very hands on. I go through nannies like this [snaps fingers] and I hate to do that but I have to, because if they try to make themselves more important in the baby’s mind than me… [makes cutting motion over throat]. I just brought a girl back home with me from Puerto Rico and she’s here.”

[Via previous CB story]

So what did Nick have to say about that MESS? Nick said Mariah had a tendency to fire nannies “every other week” and “It’s something about a woman and her children…you know, the minute the child chooses to go to the nanny before they go to the mom — I would have an issue with that, too… Everything’s on a trial basis. It’s just like, hey, we’re gonna see how this works out. And we’re always traveling, so the nanny might not get a plane ticket to the next city.” God, what a horrible way to live. What a horrible way to raise children. But we’ve always suspected that Roc and Roe were just props in The Mariah Show, right?

    If only the rest of us were only as lucky.

  2. Lilacflowers says:

    If she truly doesn’t know who Kim Kardashian is, I am so jealous!

    • Stef Leppard says:

      Haha! +1

    • cheesecake says:

      “Who??” says Mariah with a blank expression. “I don’t get it. Who?? Is she a thing?? What’s her thing??” *silence*
      “Is she in something I’ve seen or is her album coming out?? Does she have a great book/art work/haute couture pieces that I can look into?? What’s her thing?”
      And the rest of us all here reply with a resounding:
      “Eeeeerrm!! *long silence, followed by showing her some skirts, jeans and shirts* Well, you see, she’s… this shirt is cute, and so…”
      to which Mariah replies, “What is this?? Stop playing me and tell me what she’s famous for. She can’t be THIS famous and yet you have no proof of her achievements that caused her to be THIS famous. She’s more famous than Ewan McGregor, give me something PEOPLE!!”
      *silence as we all look at each other for a legitimate answer*
      That’s right! Mariah just taught me an important lesson.

  3. I don’t know what it is–maybe the bloating–but Mariah Carey is SO unattractive. She was so pretty, what happened?

    • paola says:

      My theory is that she’s always loved food.
      She seems one of those people who can never turn down a glittery cup cake or a slice of pizzas. She was able to contain it when she was younger but now I think her body type is the one that if you eat something you instantly gain weight.
      Plus she’s in her 40s and her metabolism has probably changed since she was in her 30s.
      And she is ridicoulous when she strots around in her bikini sucking her stomach in.

      • FingerBinger says:

        A “glittery cupcake” sounds delicious.

      • lucy2 says:

        I think her figure is usually fine – she’s not a tiny little twig of a girl, but she usually looks like she’s in good shape. The problem is that she always wears things that are too small, too tight, too revealing, etc., rather than dressing well for herself.

    • Liv says:

      Have you seen Precious? She barely wears make up in it and I think she looks much better. It’s probably also the hair color. I loved her hair back when she started out.

      @Paola Yeah, women can’t win. If she wouldn’t suck her stomach in, people would bash her for being fat. She’s super successful and can weigh whatever she wants in my opinion. She’s a crazy diva, that’s for sure, and she could dress better, but in the end I don’t care how much she weighs.

      On another note – if she doesn’t want her kids to be drawn to the nanny, then she should care more about them! So irresponsible to change their attachment figure that often just because she’s jealous.

      • mayamae says:

        The nanny situation sickens me. If her children consistently go to each nanny before their mom, the problem is Mariah. To then fire the nanny her kids are bonded to is disgusting. It shows how little time she spends with them if her children go to a nanny of a few weeks over their mother. What a turbulent life for her children.

      • Camille (The Original) says:

        +100000000 @mayamae. You nailed it. Those poor kids 🙁

    • bammer says:

      She’s rumored to be an alcoholic. That’s bloating from drinking. It also ruined her voice. She’s a pretty pathetic person overall which is a shame because I was huge fan of her back in the day.

      Nick seems like a douche and I wonder how long their marriage is going to last. I feel sorry for those kids.

      • We Are All Made of Stars says:

        Is that so? Apparently her sister is seriously addicted to drugs, so unfortunately it would kind of make sense.

    • Debb says:

      Alcohol bloats.

    • idk says:

      She used to be a paid spokesperson for Jenny Craig. Is she still doing that?

    • Paige says:

      When she first came on the scene she was really tiny, I know she was only 19 but come on , her figure changed so drastically. She did every appearance in a little black dress and you would never think she would ‘blow up’.
      It looks like they stuck an air pump in her and blew her up to just the about to bust limit.

    • homegrrrl says:

      I don’t even care if she bloats or says crazy sh*t, the fact is, she was AMAZING in the movie “Precious”, and I will love her forever.

    • Penguin says:

      I have heard rumours about an alleged alcohol problem. That would certainly explain the bloating & puffiness.

  4. LadyMTL says:

    Please, sometimes I wonder if Mimi knows who Nick Cannon is, let alone any Kardashian.

  5. blue marie says:

    I don’t even know what to say about this.. it’s kind of funny though. He really kisses her ass right? I wonder if he would be left without a plane ticket if he didn’t?

    • V4Real says:

      I’m pretty sure she is lying about not knowing who Kim K is. Mariah is just being the big abscent minded diva that she is.

    • Hiddles forever says:

      @bluemarie

      I spit my tea on the Ipad lol!!!!

  6. Andrea1 says:

    Nick needs to shut up! He isn’t a kid anymore! Why list the women you have banged before. And on another note its very possible mariah doesn’t know who kim kadarshain is! A lot of people don’t pay attention irrelevant people and gossip

    • gg says:

      Just like she doesn’t know who Nikki Minag is …

    • prayforthewild says:

      He is so tacky for that. But… he did say this about Handler in another interview, so I can’t hate him. 😉

      “Nick also ensured he would not be getting interviewed on Chelsea Handler’s show, after saying he would leave her to drown if he was on raft in the ocean and had choose between her and Eminem.

      ‘I’d save Eminem, he’s good for the culture. Chelsea Handler, no one cares if she drowns.'”

      LOL!!

      • mayamae says:

        I don’t blame him for saying that. She told Barbara Walters, right in front of him, that she doesn’t trust him because he’s a man. Nice.

  7. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Excuse me while I return to the shed for my boots and a shovel.

  8. paola says:

    We all pretend we don’t know who she is or we pretend she doesn’t even exist. Unluckily we all are very aware of who she is andwhere she comes from.
    Any of you has seen those stupid vids she is uploading on her instagram? the one where she comes out of the water tossing her hair? My friend showed me yesterday and i couldn’t muster any words.
    pathetic maybe-

  9. Stef Leppard says:

    I mean… I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have no basis for this opinion, but it seems like a very selfish attitude on Mariah’s part (shocker!). Yeah, I would be jealous but I would suck it up in favor of my child having a trusting bond with the person who was caring for him on a daily basis!! I think learning to trust the caretaker is so important for a developing child.
    Also, I wonder what her definition of “hands-on mom” is… Giving the kid air kisses so she doesn’t ruin her lipstick? I think it mostly involves playing and then the nanny does the nitty gritty child-rearing.

    *ends self-righteous rant, dusts off hands, and exits thread*

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I know, it’s so mean. Of course the child gets attached to a caregiver. That doesn’t mean the child doesn’t love you. Every time the child bonds with a caregiver, she fires them. Poor kids. I think this will have long lasting affects. They are being punished for bonding with anyone but her. Some people should not have children, and I don’t say that lightly.

    • Bernice says:

      You are so right Steff. The best thing for a child who is going to have so nanny is to have one nanny so that nanny becomes an extended family member. Churning through nannies is causing the children great distress and could result in attachment difficulties as they get older.

    • MrsB says:

      Extremely selfish. She is putting her own feelings above her childrens’ best interest. Sad.

    • swack says:

      I agree. I was a working mom and I can tell you it was easier to take my children to someone they trusted and liked rather than change the babysitter every other week. My children also ran to my mom before me sometimes. It’s part of life and she needs to get over it. As far as Nick is concerned, he really needs to grow up. His antics are getting old. Also, who cares that he names his past conquests – they’re in the past. I think she does know who Kim is if for no other reason her association with Kanye. She may not know why she is famous.

    • Lucinda says:

      When my daughter was very young, we had a friend come stay with us for a couple weeks. She lived in a foreign country and wouldn’t see us again for a long time so she fawned over my daughter a lot and I was fine with it. Until the day my daughter went to her instead of me. Even though my brain knew I was still mama no matter what, it hurt my heart. I don’t know how well I would have handled it if it had been hired help and not someone I loved. So I get it. I do.

    • truthful says:

      Babe, you understand what it means to be a loving giving mom, its not the same–Mariah has been competing all of her life and everything is one big competition.
      no matter how much she is paying, I would never work for her. Bossy and insecure, is not a good combo.

      • gg says:

        She sounds like she’d have a lot in common with Naomi Campbell when it came to assistant types.

  10. Paige says:

    That would really be hysterical if she didn’t know who she was…I would actually Like her…I just see her as the type to lay around eating candy and reading all the gossip rags .

  11. Kiddo says:

    Nick went down a few notches on my likeability scale, due to the K association. I’m solidly on Mimi’s side with her bitchiness and diva stance on reality schlock. She may be totally cray, but at least she has talent and a reason for being known, outside of her nanny fiascoes and whatnot.

  12. Jem says:

    Love this! She’s such a catty diva b*tch! And because it’s Mariah Carey, you know she OWNS it. She’s EARNED it, for real, unlike Kim K. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a list of the women Mariah “doesn’t know”! LOL!!

  13. skinbis says:

    Why do you always write as if Mariah doesnt genuinely love those children? Sometimes you write about these celebs making them out to be come kind of monster… yes Mariah seems to live in her own world but really does that mean her world doesnt include her kids? Try walking in her shoes before you start making her into a demon.

  14. raileseva says:

    Well I can believe it. I personally know lots of people that don’t really know who the Kardashians are or are even aware of their existence. Its not like they are Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Anisiton, who everyone knows about.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      I could tell you more about any one of the Kardashians than I could about Skeletor Nutbag Jolie or Pathetically Average Anniston. If you don’t care about any of these people, the Kardashians are the ones you are going to hear about sooner or later. It’s become virtually impossible to block them out. I’ve honestly seen one Anniston movie and one Jolie movie and neither was very good.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I don’t know… These things have a way of seeping into your brain whether you want them to or not, from tabloids you see while waiting in line at the grocery store, to ads on TV for their show…I was so annoyed when someone mentioned Honey BooBoo and I knew who she was. Why? I asked myself. I don’t deserve this!

    • princeme says:

      Huh? Umm Jolie and Aniston are mega stars and A list actresses. You would have to be stupid not to know who they are. Yes , it is possible not to know who Kim K. is. I know plenty of people that honestly have no idea who she is or who her family are. They probably don’t read gossip magazines or blogs or anything like that. And I don’t know ever single person that is written about on this site or is on the cover of Us Weekly either.

  15. prissa says:

    “…Roc and Roe were just props in The Mariah Show, right?” – Gotta disagree with you on this. They don’t treat the twins as props at all and all the pictures I’ve seen of Mariah with the twins are very loving. If they treated them as props, we’d have seen pictures of them by now to help promote Nick’s album or Mariah’s latest single.

    The part about a nanny not getting a plane ticket to the next city is pretty crass though. They could at least pay to ship the nanny back home, sheesh!

    And I’m not gonna fault MiMi about switching out nannys (although it is a bit much). At least she WANTS that bond with her kids, unlike another “star” whose baby seems to hardly know her (Kim K).

    On another note: why is she still wearing a brace on her arm? Hasn’t it healed fully yet???

    • mayamae says:

      But if she has to continually fire the nanny because the children prefer her, she does not want a bond with her children. Otherwise, the children wouldn’t take so easily to each brand new caregiver.

  16. erindipity says:

    I don’t really understand why it’s okay for ANYONE to be an asshole, you guys. Maybe some of us have more talents in certain areas than others, but at the end of the day we’re all still people. None of us has the right to be a jerk just because we can sing/act/paint/whatever.

  17. aquarius64 says:

    I think it’s disgusting that Cannon, married father of two, would put out his kill list for publicity. Who’s he trying to be, the new John Mayer? Or accidently-on-purpose leaving a hand-written list of ex-lovers out for someone (cough you or your publicist) to find and give to the tabloids is a little too gauche? Desperately trying to sell himself as a stud by naming names to boost sales of an upcoming album at the expense of his wife.

    • Kiddo says:

      Yeah. He has seemed desperate for attention lately and is coming off a bit of a fool.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      So agree. Is this a new thing? Because seriously, I couldn’t care less who you slept with and just when I thought things couldn’t get any more juvenile, tacky and vulgar…

  18. Felice says:

    It’s just shade. They were both on Fallon on his opening night to give him $100. She’s done this with so many people.

    It’s endearing in a way

  19. pnichols says:

    What’s with everyone giving out their “list” lately??? Is that the new trend. smh.

  20. Dawn says:

    Well maybe Mimi really doesn’t know who KK is but I am sure she knows what she it! Just sayin…

  21. wonderwoman21 says:

    That’s quite the pristine bubble Mariah lives in; Kardashian-krab free, one can only vaguely (and fondly!) recall such times.

  22. AlmondJoy says:

    Nick is such a cornball. Even so, the women he named were not just women he slept with. These are women he publicly dated for a good period of time, women urban blogs were posting pictures of while they were together. I see nothing wrong with him naming women he dated. What’s the biggie?

    As for the Queen Mariah, (I know that’s what she calls herself!) she lives in a world where SHE is the biggest celeb ever. She rarely acknowledges other women that are getting the attention that she feels only Mariah deserves. Honestly, if I was Mariah I wouldn’t be worried about Kim either.

    • Danskins says:

      THIS!

      At the end of the day, they’re a harmless cute couple and both love their kids…unlike some other celebs with questionable parenting skills (*coughCharlieSheencough*). I don’t get the negative attitudes towards them.

  23. Jenny25 says:

    Mariah looks like crap these days, and this idiots the equivolent of that freak that just used to carry an umbrella for P Diddy. borrring!!!

  24. GeeMoney says:

    I guess I would “act” like I didn’t know who Kim Kardashian too was if I was married to a man who slept with a woman who let another man film her sexually and then gave her a golden shower.

  25. FingerBinger says:

    Nick Cannon is such a goofball. I used to think him and Mariah were an odd couple,but they’re perfect for each other. They’re both nuts.

  26. lucy2 says:

    I too wish I didn’t know who she is…

    I would imagine those kids don’t have a lot of stability – traveling so much, nannies being switched out all the time.

  27. claire says:

    Mariah is such a b*tch. She has to have nannies to raise her children but heaven forbid the child acknowledges the nanny. She just fires them, or leaves them during the travels? Do they even get $ to fly home? Do they get any severance after being suddenly fired? Lord, she is an awful person. Chalk it up to being a “diva” and laugh at it but deep down, she’s just an asshole.

  28. Palermo says:

    Mariah has drunk bloat face and those giant implants make her look matronly. I wish women would leave themselves alone, 99% look better pre surgery. Oh and BURN re Kim K LOL

  29. NeoCleo says:

    First and foremost, there are MANY things Mariah doesn’t know, period. Both of these people embody what is worst in entertainment personalities: shallow, vain, dull, egotistical and spoiled. Until I read the excerpts above I kind of felt sorry for Cannon being married to a woman who is certain she is the center of the universe. Now I just feel sorry for their children. What chance do they have of becoming decent adults with two clowns for parents? They leave the care and nurturing of their children to someone else and when the kids form emotional bonds with that person they are eliminated from the kids’ life. Gawd that stinks! This is the first time and LAST time I will bother to comment on these two people. They are every bit as ridiculous as the Kardashian they denigrate.

  30. idk says:

    After Kim’s divorce, didn’t Mariah make a jab at her on some talk show or interview? She said something about how her and Nick fight but that doesn’t mean they’ll get divorced after four months. This was right after Kim filed for divorce from Humphries. So yeah, she knows who Kim is. I just think Nick was saying that Mariah doesn’t pay attention to Kim and she’s not a “threat” to her like “Kim who?”.

    Also, Nick dumped Kim after her sex tape came out. He said he didn’t want anything to do with that and he was mad that she lied to him. He asked her if the rumors about the sex tape were true and she denied it existed. When the truth came out, he was so mad at her, he dumped her. Kim later said she “wasn’t into Nick anyways”. The biggest shocker is that Kim used to date Joey Lawrence (from Blossom !).

  31. word says:

    Mariah = Kanye

    Nick = Kim

    Think about it.

  32. vangroovey says:

    In defense of Nick Cannon — that show he has, Real Husbands of Hollywood, is very funny. Just discovered it on Netflix — funny, funny stuff. And he totally takes the piss out of himself as the “kept” husband….

    • me says:

      I have viewed a couple of scenes from that show and it does seem really funny. Well he IS a kept husband, we all know that. I think he likes it that way. I see him serving her breakfast in bed and combing her hair for her while telling her how she’s the most talented and beautiful woman of all time. I doubt Mariah lifts a finger. I think Mariah and Kanye would have been the most outrageous couple. Why couldn’t that have happened lol?

  33. Gigi says:

    It was just an expression. Of course Mariah knows who Kim is. Nick needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.

  34. Violet says:

    That video of Mimi saying she doesn’t know JLo is just a thing of perfection. I imagine she also says that when she hears Kanye’s girlfriend names.

  35. Nigel says:

    ” back when Kim would do anyone who could get her famous. It was transactional. ” Has this changed?

  36. Emily C. says:

    It’s entirely possible that she doesn’t know who Kim Kardashian is. First, she’s Mariah Carey; the only person she knows is Mariah Carey. Second, plenty of people don’t read gossip blogs or entertainment news or watch E! I only know who Kim Kardashian is because of Celebitchy and dlisted.

    The nanny thing is just horrible. Those poor kids. They are going to have very serious problems as they grow up — kids need to attach to someone.

  37. lisa2 says:

    Didn’t Mariah meet Kim on one of the late night talk shows.

  38. LAK says:

    Do they not realise the damage they are doing to the children by having different nannies every week or however frequently they change them?!

    Are they so hands on that a revolving door of carers doesn’t matter as the child won’t notice?

    I hate people who do that to their children when they live a life that has no routine.

  39. Baskingshark says:

    Does Mariah Carey know who anyone other than Mariah Carey is? Or, y’know, even acknowledge that other people exist..?

    (To be fair, MC may be a megabitch diva but she has a fabulous voice and is genuinely hugely talented . KK on the other hand, may be a megabitch diva.)

  40. Ajanni says:

    Welp. That’s just a lie. Just a favorite Mariah diss. Pretending she doesn’t know who other women are as if they somehow puts her on a pedestal. Too bad no one knows her new music.
