107: Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon

Troy is finally covering one of the most frequently requested couples: Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey!! He starts by looking back at Nick’s surprisingly rough childhood, exploring how he went from being a member of a San Diego gang in the 90’s to quickly becoming the youngest staff writer in television history for Nickelodeon. He also revisits the “emotional breakdown” period of Mariah Carey’s life and how it led to one of the most successful comebacks in music history. Finally, Troy explores all the confusing, over-the-top details of Mariah and Nick’s unexpected marriage: from the private island wedding staged to look like a music video, to “Dem Babies" and everything in between!  Learn more about your ad choices.
