Nick Cannon has reflected on how Mariah Carey handled his Lupus diagnosis in 2012, saying he “probably wouldn’t be alive” without her.The 42-year-old was a guest on The Diary Of A CEO last week (September 21) and spoke about his Lupus diagnosis, among other things.

He admitted to host Steven Bartlet that the situation likely affected their relationship; however, praised the pop juggernaut for helping him get through the difficulty of such a life-altering news.“She was my rock, man.

She went hard,” Nick Cannon said. “Being honest, I probably wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for how hard she went with the doctors, with me – my stubbornness.

She was the perfect helpmate, the perfect matriarch, the perfect mom, the perfect wife in those scenarios. Because granted, she is who she is and dealing with all the pressures of being Mariah Carey, but then being loving enough to take on all of my stuff.”He continued: “It probably took a toll on us just because of the person I was in my head and the struggles I was dealing with.
