Nick Cannon hopes he and Mariah Carey can both "move forward" in 2015.
The 'America's Got Talent' host, who separated from the 44-year-old singer over the summer after six-years of marriage, insists he will "never say anything negative" about the '#Beautiful' hitmaker, with whom he has three-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, following speculation he is planning to write a "diss album" about his estranged wife.
Slamming the rumours on Twitter, he wrote: "I will never say anything negative about @MariahCarey We are forever a family rooted in love.
"I am always an open book but Personal matters are just that 'Personal.' So please respect my family and respect the process."
He later added: "I have no problem being painted as the bad guy. I got tough skin. Keep going! I just pray we ALL can move forward in the new year."
A source close to Mariah - who broke down in tears while performing in New York City earlier this month - recently admitted she is still devastated over her split from Nick, 34, and isn't ready to "give up the idea of a happy family." – Bang Showbiz
