Nick Cannon has spoken about his relationship with ex-wife Mariah Carey and how it cost her over “$150,000” or more “just to walk out that house” when they were together. The 41-year-old television host discussed his marriage during a recent interview on The Joe Budden Podcast, recalling how he took a step back from his career when he first tied the knot.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are no longer a couple; however, it seems there is no bad blood among the exes; in fact, in a recent interview with “The Joe Budden Podcast,” Cannon spoke about one of the biggest lessons he learned from his ex-wife and the mother of two of his children.“Mariah don’t step out the house — it cost her $150,000, $200,000 just to walk out the house,” Cannon said, referring to how the singer accepts jobs with a hefty check. According to Nick, the costs of “everything from security to hair and makeup to jets” should also be included in the contract.The tv host said that when he and Carey began “building a partnership,” he understood why Mariah is one of the highest paid in showbiz.

Nick Cannon’s family is expanding even more. During a recent episode of podcast, the 41-year-old TV personality shared that “the stork is on the way.”  Responding to speculation that he has “three babies on the way," Cannon joked, «When you say 'on the way...' What count are you at? Let's just put it this way...the stork is on the way.» He added, “It could be.

Nick Cannon has more kids on the way.

Nick Cannon’s baby train won’t be stopping any time soon as the entertainer has revealed he’s expecting more children this year. The Wild N Out host is currently awaiting the arrival of his eighth child after announcing model Bre Tiesi was pregnant earlier this year. He has seven other children with five women; twins Moroccan and Monroe, 11, with ex-wife Mariah Carey, Golden ‘Sagon’, five, and one-year-old Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, and 11-month-old twins Zion and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa. His baby boy Zen with model Alyssa Scott died in December aged just five months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Over the weekend, Abby announced she was pregnant again and expecting another set of twins. She did not reveal the father’s identity but rumours are rife that they are Nick’s children, while he’s also believed to have another baby on the way. When asked if he’s expecting three more children, Nick, 41, said on Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast: ‘When you say “on the way…” what count are you at? Let’s just put it this way… the stork is on the way.’ He then laughed: ‘I don’t know, it could be… If you thought it was a lot of kids last year.’ Angela then predicted that his new bundles of joy would arrive by September or October, to which he quipped coyly: ‘Y’all are pretty good at math.’ The former America’s Got Talent presenter also explained how he sought counselling last year to get to the root of his rampant sex life, and attempted celibacy after his therapist said he ‘needed to chill out’.

More on the way! Nick Cannon is expanding his family tree — and it may be happening sooner than you’d think.

Mariah Carey is facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit over her 1994 festive classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You." NBC News reports that New Orleans songwriter Andy Stone is seeking $20 million amid a claim that he co-wrote a song with the same name in 1989, some five years before Carey released her single. Stone’s song was recorded by his country-pop band Vince Vance & the Valiants.

Mariah Carey is known as the Queen of Christmas, but a lawsuit alleges there's a less-than-idyllic backstory to the inception of her iconic holiday jam, «All I Want For Christmas Is You.» Carey is being sued for copyright infringement by songwriter Andy Stone for allegedly taking inspiration from a song he wrote and recorded — by the same name — years before she released the mega-hit in 1994. According to CBS News, Stone filed a civil lawsuit in the Eastern District of Louisiana on Friday against Carey, song co-writer Walter Afanasieff and the Sony music group over alleged «copyright infringement and unjust enrichment» among other reasons, over a song he wrote with the same title five years before Carey's hit was released. Known artistically as Vince Vance and the Valiants, Stone co-wrote and recorded the song in Nashville in 1989 and claims his version of the song got «extensive airplay» and made it to the Billboard charts during the 1993 Christmas season.Stone alleges that Carey and Afanasieff «never sought or obtained permission» for the use of the title «All I Want for Christmas Is You,» and that Stone never gave permission, consent or a license to use the title. The court filing claims that Stone's lawyers first reached out to Carey and the other defendants in April 2021 in regard to «the unauthorized use of the song,» and after «not being able to come to an agreement» about the usage, Stone personally requested to send a cease and desist letter.

Mariah Carey has been sued over her classic festive hit ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, which, musician Vince Vance now argues, infringes the copyright in a song he wrote of the same name.According to Vance’s lawsuit, filed last week, he co-wrote a song called ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ back in 1989, a version of which was recorded and released, enjoying “extensive airplay” in 1993. Carey’s album ‘Merry Christmas’ – on which her song ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ appears – was then released by Sony label Columbia in 1994.
