Nick Cannon knows he scored big time when he married pop music superstar Mariah Carey in April 2008, after a whirlwind few weeks of dating.
She was and still is one of the biggest celebrities in the world. While Nick had tasted Hollywood success in a few films including 2002’s Drumline and 2005’s Underclassmen, in addition to creating and hosting MTV’s popular comic improv show Wild ‘N Out, he was nowhere near her level of fame.
But Nick is such a go-getter that what he wants, he gets. “I live my faith. I like speaking things into existence. I mean, I wanted to marry Mariah Carey since I was 12 years old,” he tells our sister site Variety in a new in-depth interview.
