Nick Cannon Survives Surgery, Prognosis Is Good, Tweets Mariah Carey

Nick Cannon is currently recovering from surgery and may be on his way home soon, according to recent tweets from the actor/tv host and his wife Mariah Carey!

The America’s Got Talent host, who was hospitalized earlier this week with kidney failure, reportedly underwent a surgery that was minor enough for him to remain conscious during the procedure and feel good enough to send out his own update of his condition by himself.

“Just left the operating table and I was awake during the whole procedure. #OUCH,” tweeted Cannon.

Mariah Carey who has been by her hubby’s bedside since he was admitted to the hospital tweeted a photo showing the actor was all smiles.

“Thank you everyone for all the love & concern”, Carey wrote Friday. “Nick is in stable condition with a good prognosis, hopefully he’ll be discharged within 2 days. As always he’s laughing and in good spirits.”

There has been much speculation as to what caused Cannon’s kidney failure. Some reports have attributed severe dehydration to blame for the Drumline actor’s health crisis. Cannon was recently transferred to a Los Angeles hospital on Wednesday after spending the first few days in an Aspen hospital.

Hopefully Nick Cannon with regain his health and get back to work soon.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
