During an interview on Access Hollywood , Nick Cannon sought to debunk rumors about his wife, singer Mariah Carey, being accused of drinking in the hospital while caring for their newborn twins.

But first Cannon revealed the meanings of the twins’ names. The girl is named Monroe, inspired by Marilyn Monroe because Carey is huge fan.

“It’s such a strong name when you hear Monroe as a first name. It’s kind of cool,” he said.

Cannon got to name their son Moroccan, because he proposed to Carey in their Moroccan inspired room. “I thought that has some symbolism to it as well,” he said.

As for the alcohol use, one of the nurses told Carey that having a bit Guinness will increase milk production. Cannon said he isn’t sure who called the child protective services and alerted the media.

He said he took care of the situation by talking to the child protective services before they got to his wife. “We got to the bottom of it and they said it was unwanted, ridiculous, an apologized,” Cannon said.

The caller is still unknown, but the couple did notify their lawyer.
