Mariah Carey Tweets Pic of Her Adorable Twins

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Are their any twins in the world as cute and doted upon as Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, the 17-month-old son and daughter of singer Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon?

Carey, 42, gave the public a glimpse into the extremely high cute factor that she and Nick, 31, must put up with on a daily basis in their household, tweeting a picture of the girl, Monroe, leaning in—sporting some fashionable shades—and planting a kiss on her brother, Moroccan.

Under the picture, Carey wrote: “You love me and don’t u forget it!”

The twins have had the best of everything from the day they were born.

According to reports, Mariah reportedly spent millions of dollars on their ritzy nursery, which includes Chelsea Sleigh cribs, Clara changing table, 24-carat gold and onyx sofa, diamond-encrusted iPods, and a flatscreen TV that comes down from the ceiling.
And who can forget their lavish 1st birthday party at the Plaza Athenee in Paris—as you probably know, it’s not a proper 1st birthday party if it’s not in Paris, at the Plaza—where they got gifts of a toy Ferrari, rocking horse, and miniature white piano?

If you’re wondering about their names—Moroccan got his name because Nick proposed to Mariah in a room that was decorated in a Moroccan style.

And the girl is named after the legendary American sex symbol, Marilyn Monroe.

Of course Mariah is all over the news these days with her new job, one of the judges on the 12th season of “American Idol.” Mariah has been working to quash the early rumors that she had set off a rivalry with the younger and more popular Nicki Minaj. The two stars have been spotted walking hand-in-hand together along a corridor between tapings of the show.

Yesterday, Carey sent out a tweet about the show: “On vocal rest today after 2 days of non-stop talking on #idol auditions, then back to the studio tomorrow.. Can’t wait!!!”

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
