Nick Cannon was on a podcast recently, The Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman. Dr. Berman is a sex and relationship therapist. She asked Nick about his unconventional family setup – eleven children with six mothers. Some of the moms co-parent with him, and some are in relationships. Nick told Dr. Berman that having a lot of kids was something that came to him in a vision. He believes it will be his legacy. He also had some truly gross things to say about how he expects the mothers of his children to be monogamous to him, but not the other way around.
He says a vision told him he’d have lots of kids: “It’s almost like when you have these manifestations or even these visions, if that’s what we want to call them, it’s like, ‘Oh, that all makes sense now,’” Cannon told Berman.
“You get them in pieces, or they’re fragmented,” he said of visions he’d had about fatherhood, explaining that the visions never came through like a “Father Abraham conversation.” According to the Bible, God promised to make Father Abraham the “father of a multitude of nations.”
“I’ve never heard that clarity, but I heard that like, ‘Yo, you’re gonna be a father of many. There’s gonna be your great influence, your lineage, your offspring are gonna do great things,’” Cannon said.
“I had the vision that my name will be great as, like, the Rockefeller name,” Cannon added.
Double standard alert: Cannon has previously said he is non-monogamous. But he added that his preference is for the mothers of his children to wait until their kids are a little older to pursue monogamous relationships with other people.
“I would hope it would happen a little bit later, once you’ve come into your own of what our parenting infrastructure looks like,” Cannon said on the podcast. Cannon also said he would be a little “concerned” if the mothers of his children were out sowing their “wild oats” and being “out in these streets.”

I’ll give Nick Cannon this: he is very good at manifesting. If he had that vision, he made it happen. The comparison to Rockefeller is interesting. I don’t know if a billionaire oil tycoon who gave us ExxonMobil and Chevron is still held in high regard. But Elon has plenty of devoted fanboys so what do I know. Anyway, I’m sure Nick’s kids will grow up to do interesting things, but I maintain what I have always said about this situation. Having that many kids so close in age, with that many households, is not how you set yourself up for success to be an involved dad. Think about how hard it would be to divide your time equally among eleven kids across six households. If he spent one hour with each kid in a day, it would take eleven hours. Of course, he doesn’t have that kind of time, because he has to make $100 million a year to support everybody (allegedly; I don’t believe that figure, I’m sorry). Somebody somewhere is getting shortchanged in this equation, it’s just how math works. Also, I gagged at him not wanting his partners to be “sowing their wild oats.” That made me mad. How did you come to have so many babies in the first place, my dude? Was it not a case of you sowing your wild oats? Hast not thine oats been sown across the hills and valleys of the entire Los Angeles Basin? The hypocrisy. He should be thankful that six women gave him all these beautiful babies in the first place.
