Nick Cannon hospitalised for exhaustion

Los Angeles: Rapper and TV personality Nick Cannon has been told to ease up on his busy schedule after checking in to a hospital for exhaustion.

Mariah Carey's estranged husband took to Instagram and posted a photo of himself from a hospital bed with wires attached to his chest.

"Dont worry, Temporary pit stop... Sometimes I can be a little too bull headed and stubborn. I gotta stop running my body to the ground. I be wanting to grind nonstop but the engine can't run on fumes," he said.

Cannon also admitted while he puts on a public persona of being able to balance his multiple hosting and producer duties, he does not have a special super power that protects him from getting ill.

"On the low though, I really think I'm a super hero... Now I'm not saying I'm Batman, but I am saying nobody has ever seen me and Batman in the same room together," he added.

This isn't the first health scare Cannon has had in recent years. In 2011, he was hospitalised with acute kidney failure on a post-Christmas vacation.
