Mariah Carey's marriage to Nick Cannon is in trouble after just two months, reports claim.

The couple, who wed in April after a five-week romance, are said to be at loggerheads over the singer's controlling behaviour.

A source told OK!: "Nick is basically around to attend to her diva-ish ways. When they were in Hawaii where Mariah was filming the video for 'I'll Be Lovin' U', Nick dashed off to buy her gifts at Tiffany and Co. and Louis Vuitton to keep her happy."

The insider claimed that Carey is intent on controlling her new husband's hip-hop career, saying: "Nick had signed on to perform at a sweet 16 party before he and Mariah got married. But now Mariah needs to oversee and approve his career moves.

"There are no more silly small-time gigs. She wants him to do big venues and projects. She definitely wears the pants in the relationship."

Carey's representative has denied the reports.
