14 DAY TRIAL // Apart from coming seriously unprepared to the debut of her new tour, “The Elusive Chanteuse,” it seems Mariah also had a score to settle with her now ex-husband, Nick Cannon. Yesterday we reported that Mariah's opening concert in Tokyo over the weekend didn't go as planned and that her vocal skills were seriously lacking to the point that audiences began wondering if she could ever reach those high notes again.
But Mariah wasn't worried about her voice not being up to par, she was more concerned with telling off Nick Cannon, with whom she is now embroiled in a bitter divorce. While singing the Billie holiday hit “Don't Explain,” Carey changed the lyrics from “And I know you cheat/ Right or wrong, don't matter” to “I know you cheated mother-[expletive].”

TMZ has a short audio recording and it really does look like Mariah is harboring some serious hatred towards her now ex-husband. Despite what the singer is saying on stage, Nick Cannon has always maintained that he was faithful to her and so did his friends.
That's all fine and good, but it didn't take long after the divorce for Cannon to be spotted with different women out on the town. Weeks after the divorce was confirmed, he began going out with models, Playboy bunnies and other pretty women, hinting that he's really not that hurting over losing Mariah.
Meanwhile, the singer is said to be faring much worse, as friends are scared for her mental health, saying that a meltdown is imminent. This is the same impression crowds got at her opening concert in Tokyo, when Mariah seemed really out of it: she didn't hit any high note, struggled to keep up with the backing vocals, and even forgot some of her lyrics.

In a video showed at the beginning of the week, she seemed more interested in berating a cameraman on stage who didn't follow her around, than performing for the audience.
Cannon's camp has suggested that Nick got out of the marriage because Mariah was beginning to lose touch with reality, being total diva, making outrageous demands. For the “Butterfly” songstress, this has been pretty much a way of life, so it's weird that Cannon is just now realizing how out there she is.
It's also been suggested that Mariah's drinking problem has aggravated lately, and this might have caused her lapse out of reality to deepen in later months. But that doesn't explain Nick Cannon's numerous cheating rumors.
The actor and TV presenter has recently been connected with newly-divorced Amber Rose, after he signed her on to her talent management company with the purpose of starting her TV career. The two have yet to be seen together in public, but the rumors just won't die.
