Nick Cannon (Mariah Careh's Husband) Hospitalized for Mild Kidney Failure

Wife Mariah Carey asks fans to ‘please pray’ as he’s ‘fighting to recover’

Nick Cannon’s New Year started off with a lot of pain.

The “America’s Got Talent” host, 31, has been hospitalized after suffering from mild kidney failure.

Wife Mariah Carey took to Twitter Wednesday morning urging fans to “please pray for Nick as he’s fighting to recover.” The 41-year-old singer also posted a photo of herself lying alongside her husband in a hospital bed in Aspen, Colo., where they have been vacationing over the holiday season.

Carey, who welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe in April, went into further detail on her blog about Cannon’s medical scare.

“This is us in the hospital - role reversal,” she wrote about the photo. “Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.”

“We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful,” she continued. “They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.”

Despite being "straaaaaanded in Aspen," the self-professed “dramatic diva” said she is trying to make the best out of the situation.

“The truth is as long as we're together, we're OK,” she wrote. “I'm not trying to make light out of the situation because it's a serious moment that's very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers.”
