So that "statement" Nick Cannon gave about separating from wife Mariah Carey? Apparently that wasn't him.

In a slew of tweets on Wednesday (September 3), Cannon claimed that confirmation of the couple's split came from "false reports." In August, Yahoo! reportedly obtained a statement from the actor, saying "There is trouble in paradise ... We have been living in separate houses for a few months.”

However, Cannon now has this to say:

"For the record I NEVER have, nor will I make a statement regarding my marriage," he wrote on Twitter among other comments, ending his speech with "And finally, 'Trouble in Paradise' is the dumbest phrase I've ever heard! I would never say that sh!t."
