Nick Cannon: ‘It’s Me Taking Ownership For Messing Things Up With My Dream Girl’

On Valentine’s Day, Nick Cannon, 41, not only sent flowers and gifts to mothers of his children, but also dropped a song about Mariah Carey, 52, titled ‘Alone‘.

He’s now clarifying the reasoning, claiming, “It’s me taking ownership for messing things up with my dream girl.”

As previously reported, Nick dropped a track called “Alone,” and its press release revealed the song was “an ode to Nick Cannon’s ex-wife Mariah Carey. [It’s] sampled from Mariah’s ‘Love Takes Time,’ Nick speaks to his feelings then and now.”

Taking to Twitter, Nick says he “had to come raw from the heart on this one,” where he’s heard rapping “I had it all, but I let it slip away … I don’t want to be alone … I say I’m cool when I know I miss it / I’d trade it all for the case / If I could have you back / If I could go back to where we started at.”

On Wednesday (Feb. 16), Cannon clarified the reason for the song on his talk show, explaining, The song is really about [the] reflection of the process of when somebody … [realizes], ‘Man, I really messed up. I had probably the greatest situation. I had my dream girl and I messed it up.’

The song wasn’t really about trying to get [Carey] back, it was taking ownership of what I did as a man and owning my flaws and expressing it through song.”




The comedian has since had 5 children (plus one on the way) with four women, Mariah on the other hand, has been dating her boyfriend Bryan Tanaka for some years following her and Nick’s split in 2014 and divorce in 2016 and her split from James Packer in 2016.
