Nick Cannon sat down with The Breakfast Club on Monday (August 9) where he opened up about his foray into fatherhood and having multiple children with multiple women. During the conversation, The Masked Singer host seemed baffled that anyone would question his decision to impregnate four different women — some of them twice.
“That’s a Eurocentric concept when you think about the ideas you supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life, when really that’s just to classify property,” he said. “The idea that a man should have one woman … we shouldn’t have anything. I have no ownership over this person. It’s about what exchange we can create together. So, I’ve never really subscribed to that mentality.
“I understand the institution of marriage but if we go back to what that was about, that was to classify property. One father gave another man his daughter for land. I don’t want ownership over anybody. I don’t have ownership over any of the mothers. We created a beautiful entity.”
“I don’t subscribe to that. Those women — all women — are the ones that open themselves up and say, ‘I would like to allow this man in my world. And I will birth this child.’ It ain’t my decision. I’m following suit. Every woman that I deal with or dealt with, they know how I feel.”
On June 23, the Power 106 host welcomed his seventh child, his fourth in six months, with purported girlfriend Alyssa Scott. The Wild ‘N Out model announced her pregnancy in January, but Cannon didn’t reveal he was the father until Father’s Day. Only nine days earlier, he welcomed another set of twins with radio personality Abby De La Rosa who gave birth to Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir.
Cannon already shares 9-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, with ex-wife Mariah Carey. He’s also father to a 3-year-old son named Golden and daughter Powerful Queen who arrived in December 2020.

During an interview with City Girls rappers JT and Yung Miami last month, Cannon asked if they had any advice to give him to which JT said, “Wrap it up.” Cannon replied, “Wrap it up, like, hurry up and wrap it up?” JT reiterated, “Wrap it up as in wrap it up and protect yourself.”
He then shouted, “I’m having these kids on purpose! I didn’t have no accident!”
Cannon pompously added there were “a lot of people that I could’ve gotten pregnant that I didn’t,” suggesting having so many kids was a conscious choice.
Following The Breakfast Club interview, Nick Cannon became a trending Twitter topic and internet fodder for more jokes at his expense.

Hey Nick, since you won’t stick around to raise them properly can you check in at year 15 and tell these “beautiful entities” not to steal my bike?
What’s “properly” in your opinion? If these women trust him enough to have children, then they clearly trust him enough to take care of his business down the line. Eddie Murphy has a whole tribe, but he’s more in the right because he doesn’t have to travel to take his children to school? You don’t know this man in real life, and that’s the problem with opinions. If you’re gonna open your big ass mouth, use your brain first.
Take your psuedointelligence elsewhere. It’s impossible to give your kids all the attention and support they need if they’re spread out all over the world. Secondly, if you know anything about Eddie Murphy, you know it’s been far from sweet for him. Third, if you’re comparing Nick Cannon’s bankroll to Eddie Murphy, you’re out of your mind…
Anyone else find it funny that he not only has something in his head that woman would wear, but his shirt says “Protect Black Women”. Yeah, protect them from you creep. Guess you wouldn’t mind if they started seeing someone else. These women aren’t properly after all. What a creep.
And the cycle continues
Happy for them to sleep around too Nick?
What a douchebag! Tryin to intellectualize the stupid choices he made so he doesn’t have to endure criticism… is this dumbfuck even aware of the absurdity of his remarks?? Being dedicated to a single woman doesn’t mean you “own” her and she is your “property”. It just means you both vow your loyalty to each other no matter what. It goes both way. It’s the very foundation of a united family. What kind of example is he tryin to prove to his audience and his own kids?? That he’s a coward who cant have any control over his dick?? FOH!! At least some people who have several kids with multiple women own their mistakes and don’t hide behind some fucked up theory about property and ownership. Can’t believe TV owners give this guy a platform to pour his toxic thoughts on the ears and the mind of the youth!!
Polygamy is normal in many parts of the world.
He’s not practicing polygamy. He’s not with none of these women. He’s just an idiot he says dumb sh*t. Has nothing to do with Eurocentric nothing!
Taking care of your kids is also a Eurocentric viewpoint that many don’t subscribe to.
Yes. Very eurocentric. This shit’s been happening since before Europe existed but he is too busy trying to be the intellect woke black leader of today to realize how much he looks like a clown. Also, there is a difference between polygamy and knocking up all kinds of women. The worst part is that he has cursed his children with these lame ass names, poor kids. He’s been lame since he was born. Just in case he now believes in reincarnation, he has been lame in every form of life he has existed in and will be lame in all future forms.
Thank you for posting this, I only came here for that reason.
You do realize that the New Testament, which is when man switched to having one wife, took place in Europe
Do you realize that as a society we became more monogamous before we even had proper speech? Women began selecting their mates so that the children would be taken care of properly because up until then there were too many nick cannons running around tryna fuck everyone and didnt know who their kids were. It’s not about marriage, his issue isnt about being married, it’s about too many chicks carrying his children simultaneously and he’s trying to act cool about it, covering up for his stupid decisions
European Pride then! My baby mamas ain’t Human cum dumpsters and respect themselves. To each their own tho. Clearly blacks going to have to spread their seed . But better take care of those kids. I bet those thots were so ran through lmao
…those names…..smh
Wow and to think this ‘man’ called white people animals. He’s the real animal. Why any ‘woman’ would give herself to this loser is beyond me.
This guy is as bad as Boosie Dumbazz with all the baby mama’s all over the place.
