Nick Cannon recently hit up the red carpet premier of "Addicted," where he spoke to "Extra" correspondent AJ Calloway about his separation from pop superstar Mariah Carey, telling Calloway, "I'm just taking everything one day at a time and just being the best person that I can possibly be at the end of the day."

Cannon also spoke on his new back tattoo that now covers his old, enormous "Mariah" stamp on his upper back, saying it isn't quite done.

"It's not finished yet... It wasn't supposed to be revealed yet... I didn't know they were there, that's how sneaky paparazzi are... I had just gotten it done, it was painful... It hurt a lot and I'm still not finished, I'm still probably like six more sessions away."

He also briefly commented on Mariah's less-than-stellar vocal performance in Japan, saying everyone has an off night.

"I just wish her nothing but the best, we're in contact constantly, you know you might have an off night here and there, but she's one of the greatest performers and entertainers of all time, she's not worried, we're not worried, just going to keep pushing."

Check out pics of Carey above.  How do you think this will play out? Are they definitely headed for divorce court or could they work things out? Sound off below.
