Cannon, 35, and Mariah Carey have been separated for a year and a half now and the singer, who was rumored to be the reason for the delay in the divorce, said he is not the one to be blamed for the hold up, reported People magazine.
"I was like, 'You want Divorce Papers? Well here you go!. The lawyer's line was also me releasing a little frustration at the attorneys on both sides because lawyers always think they control the clients and they cause most of the friction, especially since my ex and I get along," he said.
"There is nothing more painful than parting with or having to drop your children off. One day as my daughter was giving me a hug goodbye my eyes welled up and she looked at me and said, 'Daddy, why do you have tears in your eyes?' and I told her it was because I love her.
"She understood. She is a genius. She just hugged me harder and said I love you, too. Waterworks!," he said.
