Nick Cannon, the larger-than-life celebrity known for his comedic wit and outspoken personality, has set tongues wagging with a bold claim that has left many scratching their heads in disbelief. In a recent interview, Cannon declared that he had impregnated women who were using birth control, thanks to his "super sperm" that can apparently penetrate even the most reliable contraception methods.
On the latest episode of Howie Mandel's podcast, "Does Stuff," Nick Cannon made a stunning revelation about the reason behind his 12 children - his so-called "super sperm."
Despite practicing birth control, Cannon claims that his sperm is so potent that it still manages to impregnate women.
The 42-year-old star was quick to defend himself, stating that he doesn't intentionally "knock up" his partners, but rather, his "super sperm" is to blame.
"I'm gonna be honest, I got some super sperm or something," he said, "'cause I've practiced birth control, and people still got pregnant."
Mandel asked if Cannon is done having kids, and he said: "I guess … yeah? I don't wanna say yeah, and then, like, you know, it's the reproductive system … it could happen at any time … I'm good with my dozen."
"I'm trying to be as responsible as I possibly can, learning lesson," he added.
Nick Cannon's journey as a father began in 2011 with his ex-wife and pop icon, Mariah Carey. Together they welcomed their fraternal twins, Monroe and Moroccan, who are now 11 years old.
Since then, Cannon has expanded his family and currently has five children. He has two sons, Golden Sagon, who is six years old, and Rise Messiah, who is only six months old, with his partner Brittany Bell.
In addition, he also has a two-year-old daughter named Powerful Queen with Bell.
Cannon's growing brood has made him a proud and devoted father, and he often shares his parenting journey with his fans and followers on social media.
Nick Cannon's "super sperm" has continued to work its magic as he welcomed another set of twins, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, who are now one year old.
Additionally, Cannon has a six-month-old daughter named Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa.
In 2022, Nick Cannon's reputation as a father was further cemented as he welcomed two more children into the world.
He had a son, Legendary Love, who is now nine months old, with Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi.
He also welcomed a daughter, Onyx Ice, who is six months old, with LaNisha Cole.
Cannon's commitment to fatherhood was tested when he faced a heartbreaking loss in 2021.
He and Alyssa Scott had a son, Zen, who tragically passed away due to brain cancer. However, the couple found strength in each other, and Cannon welcomed a daughter, Halo Marie, with Scott.
The birth of Halo Marie marked the end of Cannon's busy year of baby-making, bringing his total number of children to twelve.
"Zen's time on this earth would be limited. We knew he would not make it to see six months. I am eternally grateful he was in the arms of the people who loved him most," Scott shared in an Instagram post.
"Over the weekend I lost my youngest son to a condition called hydrocephalus that is pretty much a malignant, midline brain tumor — brain cancer," he said at the time.
Nick Cannon's unconventional approach to fatherhood has drawn significant criticism over the years. Despite this, the comedian has always responded to his haters with his signature humor.
During an interview with Audacy's Hot 104.1, Cannon was teased about his "pull-out game" being poor, but he quickly retorted with, "My insert game is amazing."
This witty comeback is just one of the many examples of how Cannon has managed to shrug off the constant scrutiny and keep things lighthearted.
However, not all of Cannon's parenting moments have been lighthearted. In a recent interview on the "Howard Stern Show," the host challenged Cannon to name all of his children.
Interestingly, Cannon skipped over his daughter, Onyx Ice Cole, prompting Stern to ask why he omitted her.
Despite the slip-up, Cannon remained composed and tried to play it cool. He explained that he had skipped over his daughter, Onyx Ice Cole, simply because he was going in order and had been thrown off by the question.
However, Cannon did admit that he would likely have a problem with the mother of his child, who has been critical of his parenting style for leaving out their little one.
Despite the challenges that come with fathering 12 children with multiple partners, Nick Cannon remains devoted to fatherhood and cherishes every moment.
During his appearance on Howie Mandel's "Does Stuff" podcast, the host asked Cannon about his large family. The comedian responded enthusiastically, expressing his love for his children and the joy they bring into his life.
“Everything is challenging, but the fact that I get to see all my children in one day and get to see them each and every day when I’m in town, even when I’m not in town, I take them with me,” he said. “I love the challenge.”
During a 2017 interview, Nick Cannon openly discussed his reluctance to use contraception.
Nick Cannon has been vocal about his struggle with Lupus, an autoimmune disease that has caused him to reflect on his life's priorities.
In a candid moment, he revealed his belief that he may not have much time left and stated, “I’m probably going to die sooner than most people… So let’s f**k all night! So why wear condoms? I might not be here tomorrow!” Despite this outlook, Cannon has expressed that he may be finished having children.
However, reports have surfaced that a new game show, Who’s Having My Baby?, is in the works, where Cannon will choose one lucky woman to become his next baby mama. The show is set to be hosted by Kevin Hart, according to Entertainment Tonight.
While no official air date has been announced, the show is expected to air on E! network sometime in the spring.
The announcement has left many people speechless, with some expressing shock and disbelief at the idea of a game show centered around the concept of a man impregnating a woman.
