Nick Cannon recently stepped out in public with two of his many children, and one of them sparked a buzz online. People were stunned by how much the child had grown and quickly began comparing her to her famous parents.
In a rare outing, Nick Cannon was spotted in Los Angeles walking with two of his daughters, each from a different relationship. He was accompanied by the children he shares with Mariah Carey and Brittany Bell.
An Instagram account uploaded several photos of the trio during their outing. Nick wore a multicolored green beanie, a white hoodie, camouflage pants, and white sneakers as he held the hand of his daughter, Powerful Queen.
The four-year-old, whom he shares with Brittany, was dressed in a white golf T-shirt paired with a matching skirt. She had her hair tied back with a pink accessory and wore white sneakers accented with pink while holding a snack in her other hand.
Her half-sister, Mariah’s daughter, also wore a hoodie, along with blue jeans and black and white sneakers. Monroe Cannon carried a purse as her father wrapped one arm affectionately around her shoulders and neck.
According to the account that shared the images, Monroe’s name was inspired by the legendary Marilyn Monroe. After seeing the pictures of the trio in California, some viewers turned their attention to the older girl. One netizen commented, “She got big real fast.”
Someone else observed, “Wow, she actually looks just like Nick,” while another person remarked, “Oh she got her daddy’s eyes❤️.” Another user clarified, “[Let me] save you all the read. It’s Monroe Cannon, Mariah Carey’s and Nick Cannon’s daughter.”
One person noted that Monroe was “Very nice looking.” In response to a publication’s Facebook post that described the child as “all grown up,” a fan retorted, “No she is not ‘all grown up’. She is a 13 year old CHILD [sic],” while another simply called her “Beautiful.”
Shifting the focus to something entirely different about the teenager, one netizen stated, “Let’s hope she doesn’t sing like her mum..” Meanwhile, another person praised her by saying, “Finally a 13 yr old stars kid who looks like the average 13 yr old, not trying to look older with skimpy clothes and makeup. [sic]”
The 13-year-old girl is one of the twins that Mariah, 55, and Nick, 44, welcomed during their marriage. Her brother’s name is Moroccan.
The sighting provided a rare and heartwarming glimpse of Nick with two of his daughters. Fans online were quick to react, especially since Monroe isn’t seen often.
As previously reported, Mariah made a memorable appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, where she was joined by her teenage twins, drawing excitement from fans.
On March 17, 2025, Mariah attended the iHeartRadio Music Awards, where she was honored with the prestigious Icon Award. The event was already a celebration of her impact on the music industry, but fans were especially captivated by the presence of her 13-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, whom she shares with Nick.
The singer’s presence at the event was a major talking point, but it was her twins who stole the show. In a touching moment, Monroe was seen singing along to her mother’s songs, showcasing the musical influence she has inherited.
Fans marveled at how grown up the twins looked, with one admirer commenting, “Monroe singing all the songs is so sweet. They’re so grown.” Another noted, “Her son looks like her in her vintage years love this hair he got mariah beautiful curly hair adorable [sic].” One netizen added, “They all look lovely.”
Reactions continued to pour in as fans admired the family’s appearance. One person wrote, “Roe looks beautiful. Aww I want to hear her sing like her mum.” Another simply exclaimed, “OMG!!!!”
Others were stunned by how much time had passed, with one remarking, “I just seem them last year omg they grew overnight [sic].” Another echoed the sentiment, “When did they get so big?”
One netizen was surprised by their growth, writing, “Look at the twins! They grew up quick [sic]!” Another fan observed, “Wow the twins are getting so big her daughter looks just like Mariah [sic].”
The moment resonated with many, reinforcing Mariah Carey’s status as not only a music legend but also a devoted mother.
However, there’s another moment from March 17’s award ceremony that caught netizens’ attention. Singers Muni Long and Tori Kelly paid tribute to Carey with a medley of her greatest hits, and fans had a lot to say about her reaction during the segment.
Some people online were convinced she did not approve of the performance. One person commented, “Mariah was not feeling it.” Another added, “Me and Mariah wasn’t impressed enough Muni 🥂” [sic]. A different viewer shared, “Mariah looks displeased 😂.”
Other fans pointed out her expressions throughout the tribute. One person noted, “Mariah Carey’s face the whole time the girls are singing- 😬 #iHeartAwards2025.” Another wrote, “Mariah Carey being shady is hilarious 😂😂.”
Someone else commented, “Hell you could tell Mariah Carey wasn’t feeling the Muni Long when they introduced her as the performer 😂😂 just look at her reaction. It was like ‘Oh 😏’ 😂 [sic].” Another viewer observed, “The way she turned her head… she wanted to laugh so badddd [sic].”
However, one person took the discussion further, questioning, “Why is Mariah Carey always so rude? Whether I see her she comes across entitled and bitter. Like you should be happy you that girl that ppl do cover and homages too [sic].”
Following the tribute, Carey took the stage to accept her award, blending humor with heartfelt gratitude. Before beginning, she playfully fussed over the lighting and her outfit, making sure everything looked just right.
She then thanked iHeartRadio for the honor and expressed appreciation for Long and Kelly’s performances, as well as LL Cool J for his kind words.
Reflecting on her journey, Carey spoke about how she once dreamed of hearing herself on the radio. Even after decades in the industry, she said, hearing her own music play on the radio still felt magical.
The singer also took a moment to acknowledge John Sykes, the president of iHeartRadio, whom she credited as her first manager, clarifying that, contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t someone else.
She went on to recognize the many radio professionals who supported her early career, including DJs, program directors, and even interns who greeted her at early-morning station visits, which she admitted were not her favorite.Before closing, Carey turned her attention to her devoted fanbase, affectionately known as the Lambs. She called their love and loyalty the greatest gift and expressed how deeply grateful she was for them.
On a sentimental note, she also paid tribute to her mother, Patricia Carey, thanking her for passing down the gift of music. As she wrapped up, she signed off with her signature warmth, telling the audience how much she loved them.
While Mariah Carey has not publicly addressed the speculation, the online chatter continues, with some defending her right to have any reaction she pleases. Whether she was unimpressed or simply caught in an unfortunate moment, the debate over her response is keeping fans talking.
This isn’t the first time that Carey has sparked a buzz among netizens. As reported previously, she stepped out in a Mrs. Santa Claus-inspired ensemble to do some shopping before Christmas in Aspen, Colorado on December 21, 2024.
