Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are proof that celebrity breakups don't actually have to be savage, mudslinging, drama-filled affairs. The couple split earlier this year after six years of marriage, but it looks like Carey has moved on and Cannon still has a whole lot of respect for his ex-wife and the mother of his children.
The other day, paparazzi caught Carey and her new beau Bryan Tanaka frolicking in the waves on a beach in Hawaii. The couple was spotted kissing and laughing; at one point, Tanaka even picked up his smiling girlfriend. But some people thought the photos looked a little familiar.
Turns out, Nick Cannon took basically the same photo with Carey back when the couple was still together. And Cannon was reminded of it when he saw these new photos! So he took to Instagram to post his photo with Carey, captioning it, "#TBT This is how you do it!"
A lot of people saw this as Cannon mocking Carey, so the rapper posted another photo (from the same shoot) with this updated caption: "#TBT It's all love! No Hate! But damn we looked amazing!!!" He then said, "@MariahCarey will always be my family and the Queen so anyone looking to divide that or spew hate, check that s--- at the door! Salute to the Queen!!!"
