Carey and Cannon, 34, who have twin children, split earlier this year, reported TMZ.
"I am doing an album with Nick Cannon next year and there are references to Mariah Carey... Some of which are not flattering. The record will be controversial," Mall said.
It was Cannon who first confirmed that 'there is trouble in paradise'.
The 'America's Got Talent' host later got a new ink to cover up a tattoo dedicated to his estranged wife.
