Carey's husband 'running into debt'

Nick Cannon is reportedly running into debt as he tries to keep up with wife Mariah Carey's expensive lifestyle.

An article in the National Enquirer claimed that Cannon has been buying Carey lavish gifts in order to change people's perceptions of him.

An insider said: "Nick's sensitive about being perceived as a kept man, so he's going out of his way to indulge Mariah with lavish gifts and expensive dinners. And the bottom line is that he just doesn't have the kind of money she has. It's starting to stress him out.

"Nick is also said to be worried new career opportunities he is being offered are not genuine. It hurts him when people use him to get to Mariah. Or worse, think of him as Mr. Carey."

The couple's three-month marriage was recently rumoured to be on the rocks amid reports of Carey's controlling behaviour.
