Is Mariah Carey calling out hubby Nick Cannon?!

While performing in Tokyo this weekend, the 45-year-old singer changed the lyrics to Billie Holiday's classic song "Don't Explain" amid endless reports that she and Cannon are headed for a divorce. In an audio clip of Carey's performance, the pop star can be heard singing "I know you cheated, motherf--ker" instead of "And I know you cheat/ Right or wrong, don't matter." Some fans are wondering if Carey's lyrics are in reference to Cannon and their marriage troubles.

Meanwhile, a source tells E! News that Carey's plans to split from Cannon are still on course. "She has made up her mind," the insider tells E! News exclusively. "She is definitely divorcing him."

Last months, a source told E! that the couple were headed for a split. "Mariah has started the divorce process. She's getting all her ducks in a row," the source said.

Carey and Nick have also been spending a lot of time apart. Carey spent the past few weeks in Atlanta with their twins Monroe and Moroccan as she prepped for her world tour. "Mariah's been looking at houses. She may want to spend time in Atlanta after the tour. She's not too sure about anything right now, but she has been seeing houses," the source revealed. "She's good though. She's doing better than people think."

As for Carey's Elusive Chanteuse tour, she's headed to South Korea this week before heading to multiple cities in China. She'll then hit several other countries in Asia before heading to Australia and New Zealand.
