- Nick Cannon said that he had dated his "Masked Singer" costar, Nicole Scherzinger.
- He told Revolt's "The Jason Lee Show" that he had "chased" the singer for years.
Nick Cannon said that his "Masked Singer" costar, Nicole Scherzinger, was the only woman he had romantically "chased" in his life.
Back in 2014, the rapper told Power 106's "Big Boy's Neighborhood" YouTube channel that Scherzinger was one of many famous people that he had slept with. The pair now work on "The Masked Singer," where the Pussycat Dolls singer is on the judging panel, while Cannon is the host.
On a new episode of "The Jason Lee Show" where he was playing a game of "Smash or Pass," Cannon said that he used to be "so in love" with Scherzinger.
After Scherzinger's picture came up, the "Wild 'n Out" host said: "Everybody knows that's my ex. I wouldn't do it now. I was so in love with Nicole. That's probably the only woman I've ever chased. I chased her. I gave her Bible verses. I gave her a custom Bible because she's very spiritual and super into Christianity."
"She was like, 'I'm not messing with you. You toxic.' I chased her for years. The Bible is what got me in," Cannon added.
Cannon never clarified in the interview when the pair dated, and Scherzinger has never spoken about the relationship.
When asked about what he liked about the former Pussycat Doll, Cannon said: "First of all, super talented. The world hasn't seen how talented. Vocally, she's incredible, but her acting, her humor, her impressions, and then she's just a good person. Like, one of them people that don't say bad about nobody. You see her — she cries every episode of 'Masked Singer.'"
Elsewhere in the interview, Cannon was asked about his growing family and his relationship with his former wife Mariah Carey, and he also appeared to shut down rumors about having a 13th child.
