Ugly God checks in with Nick Cannon to talk about how he came up with his name, being on the road, getting used to the music lifestyle and remaining educated.

Having a collegiate background as a double major when he was once enrolled in higher education, there have been many misconceptions for the rapper based on his hip-hop moniker, his look, and his hilarious take on life. Speaking with #NickCannonMornings, the God explains why people might view him differently.

I think it’s more of like my personalty because I am a goofy n***a too. Like I’m sophisticated but I’m real goofy and I think that people tend to link people’s personalities to their intellect, I guess.So, you got like, weird, smart n***s, you got real mature dumb n***s, and I’m just a goofy smart n***a.
