Nick Cannon recently sat down with Ellen Degeneres, where he spoke on a myriad of topics, including Mariah Carey's New Year's Eve performance, which was riddled with sound problems.

When asked if he had spoken to Mariah about the situation, Nick told Ellen, "You know me, I'm a conspiracy theorist. I think the government did that. They set her up. That was a distraction. They put her out there. But anyone who knows about performing and having inner ear and stuff, things like that can go wrong a lot."

Nick went on to speak about his own problems with sound on live tv, "I screw up on America's Got Talent all the time. When there's people saying things in your ear, I think she got a little flustered, but being the diva that she is, she was like, I'm just gonna walk around and pose for seven minutes."
