Rapper Nick Cannon wants to remain single, wants to focus on acting

Los Angeles: Rapper Nick Cannon, who separated from singer Mariah Carey few months ago, is not thinking about dating right now. His focus is more on his family and children.

While playing DJ at a 1 OAK party here Tuesday night, the 34-year-old star said that dating is far from his mind right now, reports people.com.

"I'm good, man. I'm great. There are a lot of people after me right now. I gotta slow it down. I'm trying to slow it down and stay focused. Family is the first thing and my kids are most important," he said.

When asked about his idea of a perfect girl, he said: "I couldn't even tell you right now. That's a tough one. I haven't thought about that one. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

"Obviously the dating thing will come down the line, but right now I'm just slowing down," he added.
