Nick Cannon Isn’t Mr. Mariah

Nick Cannon was a millionaire at the age most people get their learner’s permit. At present age he’s the CEO of his own company and heads a cable network.

But in spite of his accomplishments, he’s still perceived as ‘less than’ by some given he’s married to the most successful female recording artist of all time.

However, Nick Cannon is making one thing clear in the new issue of JET magazine: Mariah didn’t make him so don’t call him Mr. Mimi.

Here’s an excerpt from his new interview:

Nick Cannon laughs when people call him “Mr. Mariah Carey,” even though he’s been married to his wife, Mariah, for two years now. The self-professed “entrepretainer” – an entrepreneur first and entertainer second – is certainly accomplished in his own right. He became a millionaire at 15 and is the CEO of his own multi-media company, NCredible Entertainment and chairman of the Teen Nick television network.

“That type of stuff is humorous to me,” he tells Jet. “If I were an insecure individual or if that was true, that type of statement – that I’m a ‘boy toy’ or ‘yes man’ and all that type of stuff – would bother me. But anybody who knows me or talks to me for five minutes knows clearly that’s not the picture.”
