Nick Cannon may be Mariah Carey’s husband and a business man in his own right, but lately he’s been making headlines for being a little “too real” in his interviews. This is probably a shocker to people since many figured Mariah would be able to keep him in check, however, Nick keeps on saying what he feels like in his interviews and doesn’t seem to care that it rubs a lot of people the wrong way. In some cases, Nick is just a victim of “TMI,” and even admitted in an interview with Howard Stern that Mariah made him wait until marriage before she would sleep with him. And when it comes to his Twitter antics, he also made Mariah’s fans furious when he appeared a little too enthusiastic about Beyonce’s very sexy GQ cover.

Despite getting slammed in his mentions and even talked about on numerous websites for his views, Nick Cannon is still standing by his comments and feels spanking is the best way to ensure he raises good children.
