Despite what you may have heard or might believe, Nick Cannon’s new song is not about Mariah Carey.

Celeb Exes Who Took the High Road After Calling It Quits

Cannon, recently dropped a new track, “Oh Well”, in which he waxes poetic about an ex who only loved him for his money and treated him like garbage until one day realizing she’d made a mistake. People were quick to assume that the song was about Mariah, who is currently engaged to billionaire James Packer, but Nick took to Twitter to clear things up.

How many times do I have to reiterate @MariahCarey and I are super cool! Stop trying to create negativity, we will never subscribe to it.
