14 DAY TRIAL // So you and your wife have agreed to get a divorce from a marriage that's rumored to have been passionless for years and that nearly drove you insane. What do you do? Well, you announce you split in style, “like a boss,” in the words of a popular internet meme. That's exactly what Nick Cannon opted to do.
Nick, who is said to be divorcing from Mariah Carey (although he denied it on social media) was spotted as the New York Fashion Week wearing a very explicit leather jacket. It was explicit not because it revealed much of his body, but because it had the word “Freedom” written in big bold white letters on the back, according to Entertainmentwise.

No, Nick was not paying a late tribute to George Michael and his hit song “Freedom” from 1990, he was clearly sending out a message to all his female fans that he was now back on the market.
This is a very different position from the one Nick explained to his fans on Twitter last week, when he appeared to be defending his marriage to Mariah Carey, “During this challenging time for me and my family it saddens me that the media can be such evil bottom feeders… Because my family & I haven't been forthcoming with personal information, people are quick to paint negative pictures and spread rumors.”

He also maintained that he still loved his wife, no matter what, and that his marriage was not subject to discussion, “For the record I NEVER have, nor will I make a statement regarding my marriage. So whatever your favorite gossip outlet is reporting has been created within their own imagination...”
Internet reports claimed that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon had major issues and were divorcing this year. The reports said that Mariah Carey was extremely jealous on Nick's flirting with other women, while Nick was said to be exasperated with her constant drinking.
Carey, who spent much of her time at home with their children, was apparently bothered that Nick was touring the country and hosting parties in Las Vegas. She was so worried that he would “get into trouble” that she sent out extra security to make sure that Nick was staying away from strange women.
The divorce has not been made official, but Nick does seem to be loving the single life and is shoving it into people's faces. It's not known how many times he hooked up that night, but with a leather jacket so cool, he must have at least scored some phone numbers.
