After dealing with months of divorce rumors in silence, Nick Cannon, 33, Jack of all Trades, Master of None, finally addressed the “trouble in Paradise” between he and estranged wife, global icon and history-making singer, Mariah Carey, 44.
I have personally been absent from social media for the past few months for obvious reasons but I feel the need to finally speak up…

During this challenging time for me and my family it saddens me that the media can be such evil bottom feeders… — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
Because my family & I haven’t been forthcoming with personal information, people are quick to paint negative pictures and spread rumours

For the record I NEVER have, nor will I make a statement regarding my marriage. — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
So whatever your favorite gossip outlet is reporting has been created within their own imagination…

At this difficult time I would ask all civilized people to please respect my family and this process… — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
What infuriates me most is to hear people slander @MariahCarey . I will forever be in debted to her for blessing me with our children…
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
I will always love her unconditionally for this and so much more. @MariahCarey is an amazing Mother and I trust her wholeheartedly… — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
So to see false reports in the media stating otherwise is absurd! While I would like to remain silent I can no longer allow this to happen.

I love @MariahCarey and that will never change!!! — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
If the media wants to portray me as the Bad guy that’s fine…
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
But it is unfair to drag innocent people into the equation… — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
Others have lives, families, and careers and for the media to slander them is down right evil and illegal…

I apologize to anyone who’s gotten caught up in this unwarranted drama. — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
BTW Shouts out to the so called “Sources”!

I hope the check was worth it… @ — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
“Don’t worry about my life, worry about why you’re worried about my life!”

Yahoo! News alleged that Cannon exclusively told them, “There is trouble in paradise. “We have been living in separate houses for a few months. My main focus is my kids,” he said of their 3-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, aka “Roc & Roe: Dem Babies.”
But, according to Cannon, not so fast:
And finally, “Trouble in Paradise” is the dumbest phrase I’ve ever heard! I would never say that sh!t — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
