Nick Cannon To Ellen: Mariah Carey’s NYE Performance Debacle Was A Government Conspiracy (VIDEO)

WAS THE TV HOST JOKING? OR TRYING TO MAKE A REAL POINT?

(AllHipHop News) It has been over two weeks since Mariah Carey’s embarrassing lip-synced New Year’s Eve performance in New York City.

The legendary singer was slammed by various critics and media outlets when she stopped performing in the middle of her set on live television.

However, Carey’s ex-husband Nick Cannon came to her defense during a sit down with Ellen DeGeneres.

“You know me. I’m a conspiracy theorist. I think the government did that,” Cannon told the daytime talk show host. “They set her up. That was a distraction.”

He continued, “Anyone who knows about performing and having inner-ears, things like that can go wrong on live television. I screw up on America’s Got Talent all the time. So when there’s people in your ear saying things and stuff, I think she got a little flustered.”

Cannon was likely joking about the government conspiracy angle to Carey’s poor showing on NYE.

However, the television personality has been steadfast about his controversial beliefs on the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Cannon referred to the actions of the reproductive health services organization as “genocide.”

“Same issue I have with Planned Parenthood I have with corps like McDonalds, Hennessy, Privatised [sic] Prisons, public education etc. #Eugenics,” Cannon tweeted in November.

The “Gigolo” rapper has also expressed his concerns about racism in Hollywood and police-community relations.

Let’s remember the government considered this man one of the most dangerous terrorist in America. #Salute “Just because it’s the law don’t make it just” #MyHero
