Nick Cannon Forgets Two of His 12 Kids’ Names, Teases Family Forecast
Hold onto your triple-shot lattes, because this parenting plot twist from Nick Cannon is steaming hotter than my morning brew! In a jaw-dropping appearance on Bobbi Althoff’s The Really Good Podcast (June 19), the Masked Singer maestro tried to rattle off all twelve of his children’s names—and realized mid-freestyle that two slipped right out of his king-sized memory. We’re talking Moroccan and Monroe (14), Golden (8), Powerful (4), Rise (2), Zion and Zillion (4), Legendary and Onyx (both 2), and baby Zen, who tragically passed at five months in 2021. But wait—where are Beautiful and Halo, the two youngest at age two? Poof, vanished in thin air!
In true Aunt Who’s Had Too Much Coffee form, I’m buzzing: did those two tiny typos spark a parenting panic? Nick owned it with a sheepish laugh: “I know all of them, but like… I’m missing two,” he admitted, prompting ooohs from the virtual audience. The radio wave host even confessed he’s got a “king complex” — because as he puts it, “Black men, we always be like, ‘What’s up king?’ I really think I’m the king.” Cue the crown emoji, folks.
But don’t think this is just a funny flub—there’s undercurrent drama stirring. Days after the podcast aired, baby Halo’s mom Alyssa Scott quietly reshared the clip on her Instagram Story, then dropped a cryptic quote, “To my daughter… I hope you stay loud.” Ouch, subtle shade much? Alyssa had publicly criticized Nick for not visiting their daughter in over a month, after another viral chat where he reveled in his brood of a dozen. Nick hasn’t publicly fired back, but he has opened up about the logistical juggle. In a 2023 People interview he stressed quality over quantity visits—one-on-one time at sports games and holiday hugs rank higher than chaotic full-family photos.
When pressed on whether there’ll be more baby toes to count, Cannon played it coy: “I think I’m done having kids,” he teased, but quickly added he can’t predict “what God and the universe have in store.” So will he hang up his fatherhood crown or press record on another little heir? Stay tuned, because this caffeinated aunt is ready to spill every drip of the next chapter!
Whew! I swear I could talk about this all day, but my espresso’s kicking in again—and you know I’ve got more tea to spill later!
