Nick Cannon is not only a fan of Pete Davidson 's rumored romance with Kate Beckinsale , he's saying he's the reason for it.
While hosting the Wendy Williams Show on Tuesday (February 6), Nick discussed the 25-year-old comedian's new relationship with the 45-year-old actress. "Last night I was hanging out with my little brother, Pete Davidson [...] We were having some good conversation. We were having cougar conversations. I taught that young boy well," he said, referencing his previous marriage to Mariah Carey (who is ten years his senior), after showing a photo of Pete and Kate on a date. "I will take credit for it. I'm the one who told him, 'Get you an older woman, man!' I said that. Leave them little pop stars alone! An old woman knows what she wants! She don't play no games! That's what I'm talking about. Get you somebody older!"
That's when the conversation took a turn as Nick brought up Pete's ex-fiancee, Ariana Grande . The Wild 'N Out host began shading the "thank u, next" singer for her recent tattoo debacle, saying. "Them little pop stars, they don't know! They giving Japanese menus tattooed on their backs from the sushi restaurant. I'm joking, but that is Ariana Grande's hand. I think that's even after she tried to fix it," he joked referencing how she recently got a Japanese tattoo thinking it said "7 Rings," however, she found it it actually said "BBQ Grill" and attempted to fix it, but only made it worse. "That's some young girl stuff. Older women don't like tardy barbecues," he joked. "They like chitlins and grits."
As fans know, The Wild 'N Out host was recently named as temporary host of The Wendy Williams Show as host Wendy Williams continues to recover from a shoulder injury. "Friend to the show and host of Fox’s The Masked Singer and MTV’s Wild n’ Out,@nickcannonwill be guest hosting The Wendy Williams Show on Monday, February 4th, Tuesday, February 5th & Wednesday, February 6th," the talk show shared on Instagram last month. "The new hour long episodes will include Wendy’s staple Hot Topics segment, 'Ask Wendy,' celebrity interviews and more!"
During Tuesday's episode, Nick also promised that Wendy "is coming back" soon.
