Nick Cannon Has Trouble Remembering His Kids Names

Everyone knows that Nick Cannon has a lot of kids, and he has issues remembering all their names.

Appearing as a guest on Bobbi Althoff’s The Really Good Podcast,  Cannon was asked why he has 12 kids.

According to Cannon, he has a “king complex” while comparing himself to the biblical character King Solomon, who had 700 wives and 300 concubines. 

“I don’t want no wives, I just want kids,” Cannon explained.

Although Cannon has not decided if he said, “I don’t know what God and the universe have in store for me.”

Cannon went on to describe the personalities of his children. He noted that Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon, his two-year-old daughter, “cries in surround sound.” This caused Althoff to ask if Cannon could name all his children’s names.

“You want all 12?” Cannon asked. “This is where I usually get in trouble… I know all of ’em, but can you rattle off just 12 of anything?”

Cannon asked Althoff to name 12 things,  such as states, but “the host said they weren’t personal,” so she couldn’t do it. Eventually, Cannon accepted the challenge and tried to name his entire brood.

“There’s Roc, Roe, Golden, Powerful, Rise, Onyx, Legendary, Zion, Zillian, Zen, and…” he began. “And see this is where I, uh…”

Cannon admitted that he was “missing two” children, adding Beautiful and his youngest daughter, Halo Marie Cannon. 

“There’s a song, and I was like, I don’t want to do that,” Cannon said about his tactics of remembering his children’s names. “I wrote a verse that had all their names in it, and I just, sometimes I recite that,” he said.

When asked to rap the verse, Cannon refused, although he admitted that the video would “probably go viral.”

After the segment, Cannon said that clip would go viral.

In total, shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey; sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah Cannon and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole. Cannon is also father to two children with Alyssa Scott — son Zen, who died at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer. His daughter Halo Marie Cannon was born on Dec. 14, 2022.
