Music

The 'America's Got Talent' host says the song is 'a creative way for me to express my frustrations with the media, the naysayers, myself and ultimately with the voices in my head.'

AceShowbiz - Nick Cannon gets personal and emotional on his new freestyle. The rapper/actor/host dropped on Thursday, June 16 the track titled "Divorce Papers", in which he addresses persistent rumors claiming he refused to sign his divorce papers with Mariah Carey.

Over a Willie Hutch sample, Cannon raps about his split from his ex, who's now set to marry her billionaire fiance James Packer, and media's perception of him. He concludes the four-minute freestyle by telling everyone, "F**k it, I'll sign these papers."

In a statement to Karen Civil, Cannon explained the real reason why he decided to share the freestyle. "My purpose for creating this 'Divorce Papers' freestyle was not to feed the tabloid chatter, or even to diffuse it. This was strictly a creative way for me to express my frustrations with the media, the naysayers, myself and ultimately with the voices in my head," he said.

He went on saying that he spent one week thinking about whether or not he should release the song. "The last thing I would ever want to do is add fuel to the fire, especially a fire that was fabricated by the press. But, ultimately I felt it was necessary to clear the air and set the record straight once and for all," he continued.

Cannon also opened up about what he really felt about Carey's new relationship and made it clear that he never tried to hold up the divorce process. "My ex and I are in a great place and are diligently moving things along so we both can continue to be happy. I am happy for her and all her new endeavors, both personal ones and professional ones," he shared.

"I sincerely hope the media doesn't once again try to manipulate my words or my purpose for releasing this song," he added. "I just ask that the public continues to respect our process and remain patient and loving as me and my family aim for happiness."
