We all know that Nick Cannon is so far gone when it comes to his wife, Mimi. He was on the Conan O’ Brien show speaking about how he and Mariah got together. Nick’s thing is that he speaks things into existence. For example, his marriage and dj-ing for President Barack Obama.
Pop the Hood to hear how it all went down…

damn this guy is wack.
@ Manster
you just dont get it… we hate him because he thinks he’s cool, tries to be hip hop and isnt, failed at movies (after drumline did anyone see anything he did? crickets), looks completely weird standing next to his mom, i mean wife and he always insists on putting himself in our face.
you are CORNY Nick… go away

Oh yeah I get it, as the father of two daughters, i would rather they brought home a Nick Cannon rather than a Lil Wayne. Did you hear about Julez Santana? By the way define Nerd? Bill Gates was considered a nerd, so was Einstein, Dr. Ben Carson, I can go on, I went to college of a full academic scholarship, i guess that would make me a nerd as well. Keep on keeping it real, they are warehousing many bm who believe in “keeping it real”.

Say What
8/25/09, 15:57:pm
I ain’t mad at either one of them. If he’s happy with his wife and speaks of her highly, what is wrong with that? He is in love with her and guess what, she loved him enough to marry him. Good for them both. All the haters should lie down on a busy train track and count backwards from a thousand. If you make it to 1 then keep posting negative stuff on Bossip. If you don’t well at least we know you from your previous posts!

Well, I happen to believe this relationship. They actually speak highly of each other, like real married people do.

I think they make a cute couple,, once you get over the initial shock of them being a pair,,it does make sense: He is young & she acts young! it works out!
Now why was he on the Conan O’ Brien show? Does he have a movie coming out/ CD??

No disrespect, I am wondering how old are you??.. “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” was a updated/remake of
“Can’t buy me love” from the late 80’s early 90’s era.. Patrick Dempsey (greys Anatomy) played Nick’s character…

Give me a “corny dude” like Nick over a thug like Lil Wayne any day of the week. REAL Women want a man w/ stability & intellect not an irresponsible incoherent crackhead @ the end of the day.
Yay Nick!
8/25/09, 18:45:pm
I like Nick and Mimi. I also see why she liked him. He has that secretly smart, sorta corny, sorta cool, high school swag. Go them! And to the haters, continue to hate, while they marinate… in millions. Lol.

8/25/09, 19:20:pm
I think that if he puts his wife on a pedestal, there is nothing wrong with that. I would do the same for my husband. I really do hope they make it. They both seem genuinely happy. Nick just figured out the code: Happy Wife, Happy Life.

Nick Cannon is my so fine. I think he is very cool and i think he has swag and gentleman like aura he is smart funny and sweet and i don’t think he’s corny he’s real and ya’ll need to realize that he ain’t lil wayne one is enough.
POSITIVE NOW
8/25/09, 20:12:pm
To all the young ladies out there be wise and go against the flow. Choose the corn dudes any day all day over the albeit swagga having, low self-esteem, fake confidence, hardcore drama having thug hoe dude that messes with your mind and plays with your body recklesly – and your chances of being in a happy, healthy, long-lasting relationship that won’t leave you scarred will be greatly improved.

Happy to see a little positivity in at least some of these comments. Lord forbid a man praises his wife and is not out their trying to plug his you-know-what into anything that will let him. I like Nick Cannon because he doesn’t feel the need to be a fake hard-***** like half of the haters posting comments. The last thing we need is another Negro flashing his jewelry, calling women *****es and hoes and rapping about how much weight they used to move. That market has been cornered.

Marring Nick Cannon is the smartest thing Mariah has ever done. He’s one of the few black men in the industry I admire.
@manster, I agree with you 100%!! Black men are required to say “ho and *****” five hundred times before they can qualify to be black.
Jay-Z, Nelly, P Diddy, “Wheezy…you can have them. I’ll take a man like Nick Cannon any day!

People act like Nick goes around talking about Mariah just for the sake of it. Conan asked him how he and Mariah got together. He gets asked the same question on every talk show that he appears on. Naturally, he is going to tell his story on how they fell in love. He is no different than any of us who get asked how we met our significant others. I agree with all the positive comments on this site. He is a very good role model who loves his wife. Like Nick said, “Being corny has allowed him to buy homes for his family members.” People can continue to call him corny and wack but just sit back and watch his many blessings continue to come through for him and his family.

I keep hearing and reading the same thing, Nick Cannon is corny. He’s lucky to have Mariah. Nick Cannon is a hard working man who isn’t afraid to try different things. He also produced his own shows so he has several checks coming in. Bottom line Nick had the courage to make his dreams come true and he has millions of dollars to show for it. So I don’t see anything wrong with being “corny.” Mariah obviously loves him so they are lucky to have one another.
