Nick Cannon is sharing a bit of his personal life by way of some new music. He’s just released a new track titled “Divorce Papers” via KarenCivil.com, discussing the end of his marriage and the media coverage it’s garnered.
“My purpose for creating this “Divorce Papers” freestyle was not to feed the tabloid chatter, or even to diffuse it,” said Cannon. “This was strictly a creative way for me to express my frustrations with the media, the naysayers, myself and ultimately with the voices in my head. One late night in my studio, after hearing the recent accusations against me and my character, I turned on my drum machine, found this amazing Willie Hutch sample, looped it, and went into the booth and let it all out. It felt great!”
Nick went on to say that he debated for over a week on whether or not he should release the song. He said that he didn’t want to fuel any tabloid fires, but at the same time, wanted to clear the air. All in all, he wanted to make sure it was known that he and his estranged wife, Mariah Carey, are in a good place and are moving on.
“My Ex and I are in a great place and are diligently moving things along so we both can continue to be happy. I am happy for her and all her new endeavors, both personal ones and professional ones. I sincerely hope the media doesn’t once again try to manipulate my words or my purpose for releasing this song. As the world knows, I am an open book and I’m proud of that. When it comes to expressing myself, I take the fearless approach and that’s what I chose to do here.”
