Just a few months after revealing shocking details about having 7 kids with different mothers, Nick Cannon opened up about dating Kim Kardashian back in the 2000s.

Meeting on the set of the American television sitcom Moesha, the Skims founder was Brandy’s personal stylist and even dated her brother, Ray J, on and off from 2003 to 2006.

Nick and Kim dated around the time when her infamous sex tape with her ex-boyfriend Ray J was leaked in early 2007.

“We were on the set of Moesha, and Ray J was with Kim Kardashian— and Kim was the stylist,” Mariah Carey’s ex-husband reveals in his mixtape, The Gospel Of Ike Turn Up: My Side Of The Story.

“I was like, ‘Who’s the stylist with all the ass?’ Even when I was scheming on Brandy. But whatever Kim and Ray’s situation was, she came up to me and asked, ‘What’s poppin?’ I was like, ‘Oh, let’s go get something to eat.”’

“People didn’t know, they were like ‘who’s that chick with Nick? She’s bad,’” he said on the “Drink Champs” podcast.

He added, “And then a year later probably when the tape came out, I believe the tape was made prior to me in my mind because it looks like to people I was with her first and then a year later or whatever the tape came out. But I think that tape was an older tape, but it looks to the public it was Nick, and then it was the tape.”

Nick continued, “I believe Ray J knew her before I did.” Nick said he was serious about their relationship, “I was really into her, I was vibing,” adding she is an “amazing person.”

“She broke my heart,” Nick emphasized. “Then, it started being these rumors going around that it was this tape.” He explained, “When I asked her about it, she denied it. I knew that they messed with each other. I never watched the tape.”

“I did ecstasy once and I got married. I did it again, I made a sex tape,” Kim admitted in a 2018 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “Like, everything bad would happen.”
