mariah carey and nick cannonMariah Carey is reportedly keen to launch husband Nick Cannon into the music big leagues.

A source told OK magazine that Mariah has been unofficially managing his career since the couple married in April: “Nick had signed on to perform at a sweet-sixteen party before he and Mariah got married.

“But now Mariah needs to oversee and approve his career moves. There’s no more silly Wild ’N Out, or small-time gigs. She wants him to do big venues and projects. She definitely wears the pants.”

The source added that Nick is also sticking close to his new wife and hung around on the set of her new video ‘I’ll be Lovin’ U Long Time’ last week: “He’s basically around to attend to her diva-ish ways.”
