Cannon: Carey too big a diva to change diapers

Mariah Carey is too big a diva to change her twins' diapers, according to husband Nick Cannon.

The couple married in 2008 and share 18-month-old fraternal twins Monroe and Moroccan.

Nick opened up about life as a new dad in an upcoming episode of US chat show Anderson Live.

"It''s a good time! Right now, the kids run the house. We are just running and chasing after them and then my wife is being the diva that she is," he joked.

When Anderson asked if his Grammy-winning wife Mariah was 'a big diaper changer', Nick responded with a roar of laughter.

He admitted the pair don't exactly split diaper duties.

'I mean we all do it but for some reason I get that duty a little bit more. I am not scared of it. I go in, I put the gloves on," he laughed.

Nick is meanwhile preparing for a new work venture.

The actor's US game show Wild N' Out will soon return to television on MTV2, it was recently announced.

The programme, which premiered in 2005 and aired for two years, features teams facing off in improvisational comedy battles.
