As reported by AOL Music, Nick Cannon is back to work after undergoing surgery for mild kidney failure earlier this month, and the entertainment mogul, TV personality and rapper-actor has revealed how his health scare has forced him to re-prioritize his life in a big way.

Nick and wife Mariah Carey already seemed to be loving parents before Nick's hospitalization, but the new dad told MTV News that he is focused on being a family man now more than ever before.

"Right now my kids are everything -- they're always going to be everything, but when something like this happens to you, everything else is shut out and you're just focused on them," he admitted. "So every second you just notice so many things ... it just makes it so much more poignant. I love everything that they do and just want to be a part of everything."
