Mariah Carey’s Daughter Caused a Stir with a Rare Remark about Her Siblings

Netizens have a lot to say about the young lady's comment, with some even going so far as to voice their disapproval.

The daughter of musical legend Mariah Carey and media icon Nick Cannon, Monroe Cannon, has social media abuzz with a recent remark she made.

On Wednesday, November 13, 2025, Monroe took to Instagram Stories to clarify her family tree as it concerns her twin brother, Moroccan Cannon, and their other siblings, fathered by Nick.

In her brief yet striking social media message, Monroe clarified her position in the sprawling Cannon family dynamic, emphasizing her unique bond with her "ONE brother," Moroccan.

While she acknowledged the existence of her other half-siblings, she also pointed out the significant age gap that sets them apart — a detail that subtly underscores the layered complexity of her father's widely publicized personal life.

Mariah shares Monroe and Moroccan with her former husband, Nick. The couple, who famously wed in a secret 2008 ceremony in the Bahamas after a whirlwind romance, welcomed their twins in 2011 before parting ways in 2014 and finalizing their divorce two years later in 2016.

Since then, Nick has expanded his family in a way that has often dominated headlines — fathering ten more children with five different women.

His blended brood includes three children, Powerful Queen, Golden Sagon, and Rise Messiah Cannon with Brittany Bell, another three, Beautiful Zepplin, and twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa, and one each with Bre Tiesi (Legendary Love) and LaNisha Cole (Onyx Ice Cole).

He also shares two kids, Halo Marie Cannon and Zen, with Alyssa Scott. Tragically, Nick and Alyssa's son, Zen, passed away at just five months old due to brain cancer in 2021.

In a candid 2023 interview with Vulture, Nick reflected on his choices, revealing that his desire to please partners and friends led to many of his parenting decisions, admitting, "It was also a little bit of, like, 'Okay, God, how did I have five kids in one year?' Probably careless activity."

Monroe's comment, though brief, has now reignited public curiosity about the ever-evolving Cannon family tree and where she sees herself within it.

Her post sparked swift and varied reactions online, with many netizens chiming in to offer their interpretations — and, in some cases, their concerns. One person expressed, "I don't like this…. At all. Be mad at your dad.. [sic] not your siblings." Another remarked, "This would be on Dad if his children do not know their other siblings."

Others stood firmly in Monroe's corner. "I don't blame her for saying this," declared one commenter, while another added, "Well 🤷🏽‍♀️ that's how she feels."

One spectator offered a more nuanced take, suggesting, "She's using the terms 'brother' and 'siblings' in the same manner as people do when they distinguish 'dad' and 'father' — one being present and in your life while the other is just shared dna [sic]."

Meanwhile, some reactions leaned into humor and pop culture familiarity. "I know Mariah hates being associated with this family tree 😂," one person joked, while another quipped, "She is her mothers daughter😂 she said let me clear this up for yall [sic]."

Weighing in with a mix of sympathy and shade, a viewer commented, "Yall can't tell her how to feel. Nick doing too much and she ain't with it😂 [sic]."

As the discourse continues, Monroe's moment of clarity has opened the door to a broader public reflection on modern family dynamics — particularly when those dynamics unfold in the spotlight.

While public attention has largely centered on Monroe's statement and the ripple effects it caused online, the broader Cannon family story carries moments of profound heartbreak as well. In 2021, Nick and Alyssa experienced an unimaginable loss when Zen passed away from a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer.

Diagnosed with a high-grade glioma just weeks after his birth, Zen's condition deteriorated quickly despite early interventions.

Choosing not to pursue invasive treatments, Nick and Alyssa devoted themselves to making their son's short life as joyful and peaceful as possible — celebrating each month as a milestone, making memories at Disneyland, and spending meaningful time by the sea. Zen took his final breath on December 5, 2021, with both parents by his side.

In later interviews, Nick described welcoming Zen as "a great privilege," a sentiment echoed by Alyssa, who said their son's light would "shine bright forever."

Despite the public complexities surrounding Nick's extended family, Mariah has remained notably private when it comes to co-parenting. In a recent interview with CBS Mornings, the Grammy winner gently sidestepped questions about her ex-husband, saying, "It's best if I don't talk about him, because he can just be in his own world. No offence to him."

Still, Mariah Carey has expressed a desire to be fair, acknowledging in another interview that while the twins enjoy their time with their father, she ensures they feel equally supported when they're with her.

As the mother of two teens navigating life in the spotlight, Mariah's careful restraint may reflect a broader effort to preserve peace and stability — especially as her daughter voices her own place in the ever-expanding Cannon family narrative.
