Nick Cannon Struggles to Name All 12 of His Kids

Nick Cannon is once again trending—and this time, it’s not for welcoming another child. During a recent appearance on The Really Good Podcast with Bobbi Althoff, the TV host and entertainer found himself stumbling when asked to name all 12 of his children, leading to a viral moment that social media can’t stop talking about.

While laughing through his forgetfulness, Cannon attempted to deflect by challenging Althoff to name 12 U.S. states. When that didn’t work, he gave it a shot himself. “I usually get in trouble… I’ll lay them all out for you, keep me honest,” Cannon began. “There’s ‘Roc, ‘Roe, Golden, Powerful, Rise, Onyx, Legendary, Zion, Zillion, Zen. See this is where … How many are left?”

For reference, Cannon shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey. He also has Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen, and Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell; Zion Mixolydian, Zillion Heir, and Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole; and Halo Marie with Alyssa Scott. He and Scott also shared a son, Zen, who tragically passed away in 2021 from brain cancer.
