Nick Cannon having 11 children—soon-to-be 12—does not give him a pass for neglecting to spend time with his firstborns, Moroccan and Monroe, in Mariah Carey’s book.
According to Radar, sources close to the “All I Want for Christmas” queen said that she told the Wild N’ Out host she wanted the twins to see their father more.
“Nick thinks it’s crazy wonderful having all these kids,” a source said, adding that Cannon is inclined to remain in coherence with his busy schedule.
Cannon’s mountainous amount of kids and work could be stretching the comedian out a little too thin. The Drumline actor posted a recently-deleted photo of him in the hospital with pneumonia on Dec. 2, Sis2Sis reported.
“Okay, so I guess I’m not Superman,” he wrote in the caption. “I promised myself I would never be back at this place again. But this is a great lesson to take care of YOU, or YOU won’t be able to take care of everyone else.”
In addition to fathering Moroccan and Monroe with Carey, Cannon fathers sons Rise Messiah and Golden Sagon and daughter Powerful Queen with model Brittany Bell. He shares daughter Onyx Ice Cole with former Price Is Right model LaNisha Cole. He and model Bre Tiesi share a daughter, Legendary Love.
He fathers his recent newborn daughter, Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon, and twins Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa. He and Alyssa Scott shared a son named Zen, who died last year from a brain tumor. But it was revealed that the two are expecting a child sometime next year.
Last week, Cannon posted a photo of him holding Zen, calling Zen’s death anniversary “painful.”
“I can’t believe it’s been a year already since the toughest day of my life occurred. Such a painful anniversary,” he wrote. “Losing a child has to be the heaviest, most dark and depressive experiences that I will never get over. A mixture of guilt, pain, and sorrow is what I suppress daily.”
