In a heartwarming display of family bonding amidst personal tragedy, Nick Cannon shared a lighthearted video of himself singing with his 13-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, on social media. The video, which highlights Cannon’s signature humor, comes as their mother, Mariah Carey, navigates the deep grief of losing both her mother and sister on the same day last weekend.
The video shows Nick Cannon passionately performing a song in their car while Moroccan appears noticeably embarrassed by his father’s antics. Cannon humorously dubbed the escapade as “‘Funky Moroccan,’ the new hit single by the Cannon family soul singers,” in a light-hearted post on his Instagram story. Moroccan and Monroe, affectionately known as Roc and Roe, are two of Cannon’s twelve children, five of whom were born in 2022 to different mothers.
Mariah Carey’s Heartfelt Grief
Mariah Carey, who was married to Nick Cannon from 2008 to 2016, publicly expressed her heartache following the devastating losses in her family.

Support from Family
As Carey navigates her grief, it appears that Cannon has stepped in to provide support to their twins and some of their other siblings. Nick recently shared a sweet photo on his Instagram story featuring Roc and Roe alongside their siblings Golden, Zillion, and Zion. This increase in family time may reflect both parents’ dedication to ensuring their children feel supported during this challenging time.
Co-Parenting Success

This supportive partnership has allowed them to prioritize their children’s well-being, especially during times of personal crisis.
Fond Memories and Special Tributes
The twins, Roc and Roe, regularly showcase their affection for their mother. On Mother’s Day this year, Moroccan shared an emotional tribute to Carey on Instagram, highlighting the importance of her love and guidance in his life. In his heartfelt caption, he wrote, “Mom, every moment with you is a precious memory. Your love and support have guided me through both tough and great times.” He also thanked her for the lessons she taught him and expressed his deep love for her.
