Nick Cannon isn’t done reproducing unless the man upstairs steps in.
Cannon was strolling around Harlem with rapper Jim Jones when a TMZ photographer asked if he wanted more kids. The father-of-seven doesn’t plan to slow down anytime soon.
“God willing, man, you see,” Cannon said. “If God sees it that way then that’s what I’m gonna keep doing.”
When the paparazzo asked him the secret to baby making, the Wild’N Out host bragged “it’s just love, it’s the aura, it’s the essence.”
Cannon welcomed four children within one year with four different mothers. He had his oldest children, 10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, with ex-wife Mariah Carey. He has a son and daughter, Golden and Powerful Queen, with Brittany Bell. Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, his sons with DJ Abby De La Rosa, were born in June. He had another son, Zen, with Alyssa Scott in July.
He has defended his reproductive choices several times. On August 9, he claimed monogamy was a Eurocentric concept during an interview with The Breakfast Club.

“That’s a Eurocentric concept when you think about the ideas of, like, you’re supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life, and really that’s just to classify property when you think about it,” Cannon said.
The Masked Singer emcee also claimed he had little control over his fertility.
“Because we’re so indoctrinated into it, like, ‘We have to have it this way,’ I don’t subscribe to that,” Cannon continued. “I actually think women are blessing us. Those women, and all women, are the ones that open themselves up to say, ‘I would like to allow this man in my world, and I will birth this child.’ So, it ain’t my decision; I’m following suit.”
A month before, he told The City Girls he was “having these kids on purpose.”
Dude, if you want a basketball team, just say that.
