Nick claimed Kim may have leaked the intimate footage, which went on to make her famous.
Nick Cannon dumped Kim Kardashian because she lied about her sex tape.
The
America's Got Talent host briefly dated the reality TV star from
September 2006 to January 2007 but revealed he broke up with her when
he discovered she had made the infamous sex tape with Ray J even though
she claimed she had not.
Speaking on The Howard Stern
Show, he said: "That was my issue. We talked about the tape...And
she told me there was no tape.
"If she had been honest
with me I might have tried to hold her down and be like 'That was before
me because she is a great girl.
"She's actually one of
the nicest people you'll ever meet but the fact that she lied and told
me there was no tape?"
Nick, 32 - who is now happily
married to Mariah Carey -claimed Kim, also 32, may have leaked the
intimate footage, which went on to make her famous.
He
added: "I still think she might even have had a part to play with its
release.
"I think she's a great businesswoman if you ask
me."
