Mariah Carey, again a single singer, even though she is "Beautiful", wants to be set up again, and is hoping that the "Nasty" rapper will be a matchmaker, according to Us Weekly. She separated from her husband Nick Cannon in August.

She sent a text to Nas, asking whether he had any friends that she could hook up or go out with. However, Nas is not too sure whether he can let her go out with anyone because of reports that she is depressed and has got a drinking problem now, according to Us Weekly.

The pop diva has been the hip-hop star's friend for a long time, and has teamed up with him through his song "Dedicated." It was her third track in a 2014 album, "Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse." In 2013, rumours reported that both of them were coming too close. However, Nick Cannon had defused all the rumour bombs during an interview.: "[Nas is] a friend of mine, he's a friend of hers," the America's Got Talent host had said in April. He agreed that she had attended his birthday party in Los Angeles. They had sorted it out. "It'd be very difficult to make me jealous," he clarified to Us Weekly.

Mariah and Nick had got married in 2008, after just six weeks of dating at Carey's private island in the Bahamas. They had two children together, twins Moroccan and Monroe. However, the couple split last August when rumors began to float about Cannon's infidelity, according to literock.

However, after the split, she seemed to get depressed, while Nick Cannon did not seem affected as much as she was. After they separated, Nick was seen on dates with strange and unknown women, who turned out to be good-looking models. Nick Cannon falls back on his buddy, former American Idol judge, Randy Jackson. The two have been seen dating models and Playboy bunnies. Cannon and Randy had gone out for dinner with a blonde beauty at Beverly Hills last month. Even after Randy left, Cannon and the blonde went on talking happily. Nick reportedly was smiling broadly, according to Pink.

Cannon's recent relationship was with Amber Rose. Though no evidence of this relationship is revealed, Cannon signed Amber to a talent management company for setting her up in her career.

Mariah, on the other hand, sat alone at home, sunk in her own thoughts. But ever since she began on an "Elusive Chanteuse" tour in Tokyo last weekend, she let out her feelings on stage when she rewrote the lyrics of a cover song and cursed Nick Cannon. She seems to be getting ready for another man now.
