Nick Cannon has signed and sealed a deal to write a tell-all book about his marriage to Mariah Carey - and she is furious about him betraying her.
Mariah rejected Nick's numerous demands for a $30 million divorce settlement so now he's writing the book — saying he plans get his payday for being married to her one way or another - and there is nothing she can do about it because he already signed the deal last week with major publishing company Simon and Schuster.
Simon & Schuster has confirmed to Daily Mail Online that the book is being published by Gallery Books, an imprint of the high-powered publisher.
'Mariah was willing to give Nick $10 million but he said 'hell no' and demanded $30,' a family friend tells the Daily Mail exclusively.
'Mariah says it is what they agreed to in the prenup before they got married.
But Nick insisted he needs and deserves more than what they originally talked about, but Mariah wouldn't budge. Now Nick is being very vengeful, dating other women in public including Nicole Murphy, Michael Strahan's ex, the source says. 'Mariah kept telling Nick she was not going to give him a penny more than $10 million,' says the friend. 'He told her he could write a book and get $30 million and much more for a movie deal for all of the crap she put him through over the years.
'Mariah told Nick nobody cares what he has to say and told him to take it or leave it because that's it - not a penny more.' The friend believes Nick asked for an outrageous amount from Mariah so when she said 'no' he could use that as an excuse to go to the book publisher.
'Nick says he is going to tell the world about Mariah's drug use, her strange eating habits, psychosis, what she has said about other artists, her sexual proclivities and her parenting skills.It which will really be hurtful,' the insider continued.
'And Nick is also going to explain why he thinks he should have full custody of the twins. Mariah has admitted she never wanted children and Nick is going to tell the world why she felt that way.
'If Nick was not willing to spill all of their nasty and salacious secrets he would not have gotten a book deal. So obviously, Simon and Schuster feel this is going to be a blockbuster and they signed him up.'
No offense but how can you be married to someone for so many years, have two children, and without any major problems (i.e. drug use,theft,abuse) threaten to destroy their image to the whole world? nick is a pos
The really weird part about all this is the fact that HE sought out Mariah for YEARS before they got together. He would always talk about how much he liked Mariah and how big his crush on her was before they even came together.
