They’d been fighting about money, the kids and pretty much everything else

   Mariah Carey got “dumped” by Nick Cannon for being an insufferable diva who overspends

Nick Cannon wants out of his 6-year marriage to Mariah Carey because he’s had enough of her diva behavior, her out of control spending and the fact that she lives in a fantasy world, which makes her a rather unsuitable mother to their twins Morocco and Monroe, claims a new piece in Us Weekly.

This week’s edition of the tab, as you can see in the photo attached to this article, comes with a cover dedicated to the split of this once so solid couple. Officially, though, all we know is that Nick and Mariah have been living apart since May because they’ve been having problems, and that divorce could be an option, but nothing has been decided yet.

Unofficially, speculation says that Nick couldn’t stand a single day in the same house as Mariah because she’s been driving him crazy. For instance, an insider reveals for the latest print issue of the Us (story via Daily Mail), she was so jealous that, whenever he was away on work, she would call him a hundred times a day, paranoid that he was cheating on her.

He never did, the insider says, but that didn’t stop her from telling him to “check in” with her at regular intervals, or from calling him non-stop, to the point where “it got to be too much.”

“He was too open about their marriage for her taste. She's private, and some of the things he revealed in interviews disgusted her,” says another spy of what went wrong. In the spring, Nick did several promotional appearances and also talked about 5 famous women he’d slept with, including Mariah. She hated him for that, but also for revealing that he’d slept with Kim Kardashian.

This added to the arguments they were already having on the topic of raising their children, which usually ended with Nick being painted as the bad guy for trying to talk some sense into Mariah, and this way, think of what’s best for the kids.

“Mariah loves those kids but she lets them do whatever they want. Nick would be like ‘Why are you letting them stay up late and eat cookies?’ and Mariah would just snap at him not to tell her how to be with her kids. So then he always had to be the bad guy,” says another source.

“He definitely won't let her have full custody. She can barely take care of herself,” the tipster adds.

Speaking of taking care of herself, the report goes on to mention that Mariah is such a diva that she would not even think of traveling with her 6-people glam squad, which she has on payroll 24/7. That in itself wouldn’t be such a bad thing, but Mariah isn’t making the same kind of money she used to, whilst her living expenses have gone through the roof.

This meant that Nick had to compensate for that somehow, so he started working more, and this resulted in being away from home for longer stretches of time, which, in turn, got Mariah in a very foul mood and led to even more arguments.

Besides her glam squad, Mariah also spends a fortune on her pooches, the report says. Apparently, Mariah has her 8 Jack Russell terriers go on spa getaways which cost her $46,000 (€34,907) a year. Because her career is “downhill,” says Us Weekly, in the end, it’s still Nick who’s footing the bill on that.

Mariah is living in a fantasy world in which she is the center of the universe, the magazine adds. Nick simply can’t be part of that anymore and he wants out – and he’s taking the kids too.
