degrees of separation to link two famous folk - take Nick Cannon and
Kim Kardashian , for example.
Speaking with his America's Got Talent co-star Howard Stern , on
Tuesday, Nick admitted that he'd briefly dated the reality TV
socialite in 2006, prior to her skyrocketing to the mainstream
following the release of her now infamous sex tape with singer Brandi
's brother, Ray-J .
Cannon, who's now happily married to Mariah Carey , said the tape was
the issue that brought down the brief fling. "We talked about this
tape and she told me there was no tape," Nick said. "If she might have
been honest with me I might have tried to hold her down and be like
'That was before me,' because she is a great girl.
"She's actually one of the nicest people you'll ever meet," he told
the King of All Media. "But the fact that she lied and told me that
there was no tape?"
Cannon who is a proud father to twins with Carey named Moroccan ** and
Monroe **, said that despite the fibs, Kim's "a great businesswoman,"
added that she thinks she might have even had a part to play with"
leaking the star-making sex tape .
