Nick Cannon has admitted that being a parent to his 10 children has made him feel eviscerated, but it raises so many red flags. The Masked Singer star, who has 12 children with multiple women, opened up about what it was like to become a father for the first time with ex-wife Mariah Carey. An eyebrow-raising new interview reminds us to be careful with whom we choose to have children.
Thirteen years ago, Cannon and Carey welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe, but for some reason Cannon couldn’t live with Carey’s fame. “I actually didn’t really care what the world thought. But when you go to yourself, there’s this pressure of, ‘Who am I?’ “I married the biggest star in the world in my 20s,” he said during an appearance on the podcast “Ray Daniels Presents,” Us Weekly reported.

“My trajectory was here (below), but she’s already in another stratosphere,” the Wild ‘N Out host said of the “It’s a Rap” singer. “I lay there at night thinking, ‘Is this me?'” Am I Mariah’s Man? Is that how my life should be? ‘As if that’s that bad? To make matters worse, Cannon admitted to enjoying a piece of Carey’s personal fame and success: money.
“She’s got an island and I wake up at noon and people bring me steaks on platters. But I’m like, ‘This isn’t a hustle.’ ” Cannon continued. “And when you have kids… your mannerisms are like, ‘Wait, I’m standing on a street corner with a purse and a diaper bag.’ She’s the alpha that she is; He added that he doesn’t like being a “participant” in Carey’s life. “I’m the main character. I was mad at myself. I felt like I had muscle atrophy. I had guts. It was like, ‘I’m the man that God put me on this earth to be.’ It was like, ‘No.’
This whole interview is disgusting. Was my wife too successful to bear it? Does carrying a diaper bag make him feel like his “manhood” (whatever that is?) is being questioned? Later in the interview, he even admitted that he stayed married for several years because of “love”, but it was still not enough (!!).

“Love kept me there. I thought, ‘I need a support system.’ “We don’t need you for the money, we want someone who is honest and willing to build a family and raise great children together,” he said. “That was my goal. But then there was always something inside me.” Related Articles Olivia Munn’s newborn daughter Mae is the most adorable sneezing baby in new video: “Bless You”
To fix that, did he decide to have babies with women he wasn’t dating? I think that way he can still enjoy all the benefits of having a child without the responsibility or the obligation to carry a diaper bag. (Sorry for vomiting.)
Cannon is also the father of Golden Sagon (7 years old), Powerful Queen (3 years old), and Rise Messiah (1 year old) with Brittany Bell. 2-year-old twins Zion Mixolydian and Jillion Hare, and 1-year-old Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa. Legendary Love, 1, with Bre Tiessi. Onyx Ice Cole, 1, with Lanisha Cole. Halo Marie (1 year old), Alyssa Scott and a baby named Zen who died in 2021 at 5 months old.

In an interview with PEOPLE earlier this year, he boasted about how easy it was to become a father. “I’ve never been overwhelmed, because being overwhelmed means being in a state that’s almost unbearable,” he said. “But I definitely have too much energy, considering the energy I get from my kids. I feel that every day. They push me to grow.”
“From the moment you open your eyes until you close them at night, you’re always thinking about your children,” he added. “When I have 12, they’re definitely the pulse of everything I do.” (But wait, how does putting the kids first mesh with his “main character” energy? )
He added that he plans to parent his children as they grow up, which is basically a red flag as well. “Fortunately, me and my kids are very cool and I’m probably more mischievous than they are because I’m a very big-hearted kid, so they always protect me,” Cannon continued. . “Even as a teenager, they had to keep me straight and stop me from getting any more tattoos and doing all sorts of wild things like that. It is.”
No need to worry. At least the children have a mother who can have a great influence on their lives. Gone are the days when divas run the world!
