CEBU, Philippines - Characteristic of his happy-go-lucky nature, Nick Cannon isn't letting his recent hospitalization get him down.
The 31-year-old tweeted an update yesterday afternoon after being rushed to an Aspen, Colorado hospital for mild kidney failure.
'Currently being transferred to a hospital in LA,' the TV presenter wrote on his Twitter page.
'Thank you for all your love, prayers and concern. You know me...I will be a'ight.'
His wife, Mariah Carey, agrees that her husband is in a good mood, though admits that he isn't doing as well as he would have his fans think.
'As always, he's in good spirits considering the situation,' the 41-year-old's spokesperson told People magazine.
She said that 'the situation is not easy' and says that Nick is stable but 'in a lot of pain'.
The mother-of-two added: 'We are hopeful that he'll be 100 percent as soon as possible. We really appreciate everybody's love and support.'
Earlier, she urged her Twitter followers to 'pray for Nick', though didn't seem to be genuinely worried about her husband's health, given her online activity.
She posted a photo of herself posing beside an ailing Nick in his hospital bed in Aspen.
But the couple are clearly optimistic he will recover, with Mariah describing his kidney failure as 'mild'.
The Fantasy singer posted news of Nick's illness in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
She wrote: 'Please pray for Nick as he's fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman.' (FREEMAN)
