Nick Cannon Wants His Twins to Have Careers Outside Hollywood

Along with promoting his new show “Lip Sync Battle Shorties,” TV personality Nick Cannon is opening up about life with his twins with ex Mariah Carey, Monroe and Moroccan.

Nick and Mariah split up three years ago, but they are winning at the co-parenting game! He told “Extra” over the weekend, “We prioritize for the kids more than anything. That what it's all about and just be mature adults about the situation.”

He reiterated, “You put your loved ones first and really focus on what's right.”

Despite their mom and dad's showbiz résumés, Nick is hoping their kids don't follow in their footsteps! He explained, “Whatever makes them happy. I would rather have some nuclear physicists and some brain surgeons. That's what I'm aiming for — but there's nothing wrong with a brain surgeon that can sing.”

As for the kids on his show, Cannon gushed, “This is amazing to see the youth out here display their talents like no other.” He added, “They in it to win it, and they're going hard!”
