Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon split hits the news!

People reported that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon split is getting controversial each day. A source has indicated that Mariah did not make it to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree taping on time last Tuesday as she got so engrossed in dealing with her divorce with Cannon.

The source knowledgeable about the Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon split said:

"She was on the phone for probably close to five hours straight with lawyers."

Carey was reportedly showed up three hours late for the taping. This caused fans to wait in the rain all those three hours.

People reported that the source indicated it was never Care's intention to disappoint fans. However, it was unavoidable that the singer stays on the phone for that long prior to her taping. She had to fix the property settlements and custody of her children in relation to the demise of her marriage to Cannon in that one phone call.

The proceedings for the divorce and juggling work at the same time has been challenging for Mariah. The source said:

"She's trying to keep it together,"

"She's focused on caring for her children and her upcoming five sold-out Christmas engagements in New York."

The source said the couple had yet to lawfully legalize their impending divorce:

"I think they're trying to work all these details out on property and the kids before it gets filed,"

"They communicate because of the kids."
