Mariah Carey’s ex-husband, Nick Cannon, has finally chimed in on her infamous performance on New Years Eve. But instead of bashing her iconic singer’s performance like most of society did, he defended her.

“Anyone who knows about performing… things like that can go wrong on live television,” he said. “I do live television all the time; I screw up on America’s Got Talent all the time, so when there are people in your ear saying things and stuff, I think she got a little flustered. But being the diva she is, she said, ‘I’m just going to walk around and pose for seven minutes.’ And like Ryan Seacrest said, she can do no wrong. So she worked through it.”

Check out the full interview while he was on Ellen below.
