Carey's Reason For Getting 'Mad' At Cannon

Carey was not satisfied with getting the kids mobile phones yet and she expressed her displeasure to Cannon. When the kids were eight years old, they wanted the phone but only their dad was cool with the idea.

Carey explained that, at that age, they shouldn't be googling their parents on the internet.

The ex-couple are American stars who are successful in their respective careers, and several online bloggers have their biographical details published on websites.

Carey didn't want this, coupled with the fact that Cannon already had other kids with different women outside their marriage. She didn't want her kids to know about their step-brothers and sisters. At least not yet or through social media.

Cannon Says He Wasn't Wrong

In a previous clip from the daytime talk show, Cannon explained that he and Carey threw a big birthday party for Roc and Roe where he presented the birthday gifts to the kids.

He knew she wouldn't welcome the idea and he was right after all.

The American star explained that when Carey was not okay with the idea of getting them the cellphones at the age of eight, they agreed to get it when the kids turned ten.
