Cannon insists Mariah marriage is "amazing"

Rex Features

Nick Cannon has dismissed reports that his marriage to Mariah Carey is on the rocks.

The couple, who tied the knot in April, were said to be rowing over Mariah's controlling behaviour. Reports suggested that the rapper was already tired of his wife's "diva-ish ways", and it was also claimed that Carey had angered Cannon by interfering with his hip-hop career.

However, Cannon told People.com: "Marriage is amazing. It's the best thing that ever happened to me."

A friend of Mariah has claimed that the marriage will be over within six months. The pair exchanged vows after they had dated for just five weeks.
