Nick Cannon Talks Mariah’s NYE Incident

On Monday Nick Cannon stopped by The Ellen Degeneres Show where he talked about his ex-wife Mariah Carey and her performance mishap on New Year’s Eve.

Nick joked that “You know me, I’m a conspiracy theorist. I think the government did that! They set her up! That was a distraction!”

Mariah did initially say that she was “foiled” after the technically difficulties made it hard for her to perform as planned.

“Anyone who knows about performing and having inner-ears, things like that can go wrong on live television. I screw up on America’s Got Talent all the time. So when there’s people in your ear saying things and stuff, I think she got a little flustered. Being the diva that she is, she said, ‘I’m just going to walk around and pose for 7 minutes,’ and like Ryan Seacrest said, she can do no wrong. So she worked through it.”
