Mariah Carey, the iconic singer known for her 5-octave voice range and a string of hits that have explained decades, has always been one to captivate public.

It’s no surprise that her twins, Moroccan and Monroe, inherited a bit of that spotlight by default.

As they have grown older, their goals and personalities have come into fame, and like any parent, Carey has been protective and discerning about their focus to the limelight.

Recently, news surfaced about Nick Cannon’s idea of forming a band with his kids. The concept appear innovative – a chance for his kids to bond and potentially pave their way in the entertainment industry.

Given Cannon’s history in music and tv, it looked like to be a feasible decision that could bring forth a unique blend of talent.

Carey’s daughter, Monroe, was her 1st born.

The “Obsessed” singer wrote in her 2020 memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” that she wanted both of her children to share her initials.

She marked that her daughter’s moniker was inspired by Marilyn Monroe; however, Carey refers to her as Roe. (Unlike Moroccan, Monroe doesn’t have an amid name.)

Much like her mom, the youngster proved she has a set of pipes when she performed “Always Be My Baby” onstage in Los Angeles in 2017.

In a 2023 interview on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast, Cannon discovered the twins as “so intelligent” and “in tune with their own values.”

“It’s my 1st time having 12-year-olds, and I have a set of them! And we’re having real conversations,” he stated.

“Because, you know, their lives are far from normal. Their mom is one of the biggest entertainers to ever live — and their dad is me.”

Mariah Carey, the pop diva known for her powerhouse vocals and glamorous lifestyle, is reportedly drawing a firm line when it comes to her 12-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, and their involvement in Nick Cannon’s growing family dynamics. According to insiders, Carey is not on board with Cannon’s ambitious idea of forming a family band featuring all 12 of his children.

Protecting the Twins’ Individuality

Carey, who shares the twins with Cannon, has always emphasized the importance of nurturing their unique talents and personalities. A source close to the singer revealed, “Mariah has worked tirelessly to ensure that Moroccan and Monroe grow up with a strong sense of self. She doesn’t want them to feel overshadowed or lumped together with Nick’s other kids.”

Cannon, who is famously the father of 12 children with multiple women, recently floated the idea of creating a musical group featuring all his offspring. While he framed it as a fun and creative way to bond as a family, Carey reportedly sees it as a potential distraction from her twins’ own paths.

“Mariah is fiercely protective of her kids and their individuality,” the insider added. “She believes they should be allowed to shine on their own terms, not as part of a collective project driven by Nick’s vision.”

Differing Parenting Philosophies

Carey and Cannon have maintained a cordial co-parenting relationship since their divorce in 2016, but their approaches to parenting have often been starkly different. While Cannon embraces a more communal and collaborative family dynamic, Carey is focused on providing stability and structure for Moroccan and Monroe.

The singer’s reservations about the band idea also stem from concerns about the twins being thrust into the spotlight alongside their half-siblings. “Mariah has spent decades in the public eye and knows the pressures that come with it,” the source explained. “She wants to protect her kids from unnecessary scrutiny.”

Moving Forward

For now, it seems that Carey’s decision is final. The twins will continue to focus on their individual interests, with Moroccan showing an affinity for comedy and Monroe exploring her vocal talents under her mother’s guidance. Meanwhile, Cannon’s band idea may have to move forward without their participation.

As Carey remains steadfast in her dedication to her children’s well-being, it’s clear that the iconic singer will continue to prioritize their growth and happiness above all else. Whether Cannon’s family band ever comes to fruition remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Mariah Carey is not backing down when it comes to protecting her twins.
