Nick Cannon Isn’t Ready for a Vasectomy and Isn’t Ruling Out More Kids
Nick Cannon isn’t closing the door on expanding his already large family.
During a recent episode of his “We Playin’ Spades” podcast with co-host Courtney Bee, “The Masked Singer” host joined former NFL stars Ryan Clark and Channing Crowder in a discussion about the rising number of Black men opting for vasectomies.
While Cannon acknowledged the procedure as a “responsible thing to do,” he admitted he’s not quite ready to take that step.
“It’s another man at this table that needs to think about that s—t,” Crowder quipped in reference to Cannon.
Feeling the heat, the industry veteran joked, “Feel like this is an intervention.” He went on to admit, “I just—I’m not done.”
When pressed on whether he’d have another child with one of the women he already shares kids with or someone new, Cannon simply responded, “I don’t know. That’s the thing. I leave it to the Lord.”
Cannon has fathered 12 children, starting with twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey.
His growing family also includes sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, plus daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole.
He also shares two children with Alyssa Scott: their late son Zen, who passed away at five months old from brain cancer in December 2021, and daughter Halo Marie, born a year later.
Despite his love for fatherhood, Cannon has been candid about the challenges of juggling time with all of his kids.
“Being a father of multiple kids, it's always the biggest guilt on me is that I don't get to spend enough time with all my children,” he shared in a 2022 episode of The Checkup with Dr. Agus on Paramount+. “One, ‘cause I’m constantly working, and two, because I’m just spread thin.”
