"My son is laid back like me," he said. "My daughter's a diva like her mom!"

During an interview with People magazine, Cannon said of his twins, Moroccan and Monroe, who were 17-months old at the time: "I want my kids to understand that every child isn't as fortunate as they are.
"I want [them] to grow up helping others. I was raised by my grandmother. We were low-income, but she was always taking in foster kids. She would help anyone, and it was a good lesson for me growing up."
The comedian also revealed that his children really like technology.
"My son was playing with [my laptop] and he broke it," he said. "My kids are already attracted to technology. They want to touch it; they're always reaching for it. They love my iPad. That's their generation; they love computers. So it'll be important as they grow older to know what they're doing online, to keep them safe."
In 2013, Cannon made jokes in interviews about punishing his twins.
In March 2013, the "Masked Singer" host made several jokes about hitting his children if they act out.
He told Us Weekly that in preparation for his kids turning two in April: "I got my belt out already! It's ready."
He later told TMZ: "[Carey] doesn't need to handle" the corporal punishment, because "that's what daddies are for."
Cannon referenced his children dealing with his divorce with Mariah Carey in his freestyle rap "Divorce Papers."
Carey and Cannon filed for a divorce in 2014 but the divorced was not finalized until November 2016.
In June 2016, Cannon dropped the freestyle rap song "Divorce Papers" that referenced parting ways with Carey as well as the reaction of his children to the divorce.
In one part of the song, he rapped: "We single now but we really need to think about is how a child deals / How a child feels / Because we got two and they brilliant for real."
In 2016, Cannon said his eldest daughter, Monroe, is not allowed to date until she's 50.
In October 2016, when the twins were 5 years old, Cannon joked that his daughter, Monroe, was not allowed to date until she is 50.
"When she's 48 she can start dating, and that's still a little too young; I might make her wait till 50!" Cannon told Us Weekly. "My son [Moroccan], I hope he is dating now. I hope he has like three or four girlfriends."
Cannon also said during the interview that Monroe wanted to marry a close friend of the family, who Cannon claimed is "almost her cousin."
"I'm like, 'What? You have him come talk to me immediately 'cause I don't even know why these conversations are happening.'" He said. "I'm actually gonna have to deal with this in reality one day, and I'm so scared."
Cannon defended his third son, Golden, from being called an "oops baby."
In November 2016, Cannon confirmed he was having a third child, this time with Miss Arizona USA Brittany Bell.
In December, during his appearance on Power 106 where he talked about his relationship with Bell, Cannon was asked if his third child was an "oops baby," implying that he didn't intend to get Bell pregnant.
"Never an 'oops baby.' I'm so calculated with my moves," He responded. "I've always wanted five kids."
He added: "Just because my marriage was over didn't mean I couldn't continue my family. I wanted to make sure it was someone who was solid, spiritual and had the same views."
Golden "Sagon" Cannon was born in February 2017, however, Cannon still found himself defending his son.
During Cannon's appearance of "The Wendy Williams Show" in December 2018, Williams called 1-year-old Golden "the oops baby."
Cannon laughed it off in the moment but later shared a now-deleted video on Instagram of himself with the baby boy with the caption: "Got another Genius on my hands!!! The Golden Child! No oops over here @wendyshow LOL??❤️ My guy is brilliant! Reading at the age of 1!! #Genius."
Cannon said he doesn't like the term "co-parent."
Cannon told People in January 2018 about being a parent after his divorce: "It's funny when they say 'co-parenting' — that phrase is a little redundant. You can't co-parent, you have to parent, and that's what we do well because when it comes to our children, we're selfless individuals — they're first."
Cannon said that his children "fear the police."
In the wake of the death of George Floyd in 2020, Cannon spoke about having to teach his children about what to do when they encounter law enforcement in an interview with "Access."
"My children fear police," the musician admitted. "I try to teach fearlessness. I try to teach, 'You have a power within you that you need to fear nothing.' But when they see the energy of law enforcement [it's like], 'Uh oh, here comes the police.' or that mindset of sit up straight and 'Don't talk, keep you hands where they can see them.'"
Cannon added that law enforcement "perpetuate fear."
He said: "It's something that is hurtful to have those conversations with your children, but you want to protect them at the end of the day."
Cannon said that his son, Morrocan, called him "a player."
In February 2020, Cannon spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how he no longer believes in marriage.
During the interview, he said: "It's the funniest thing, my kids call me a player. I was like, 'Who taught you that word? Who's been talking to you?' And [Moroccan's] like, 'Dad you can't be a player forever.' I'm like, this is the worst."
Nick Cannon has always said he wants a big family.
In an interview with ABC News in 2016, in the midst of his divorce from Carey, Cannon admitted that he wanted more kids after the twins.
"I'm not against it. I talk about that all the time. I love children. Everybody knows that," the "America's Got Talent" host said. "Whether it's having more of my own, or adopting, whatever, I love that process. Kids kind of bring that vibrant side [out] of me so whenever I can be a part of that process I'm with it."
In September 2021, after having seven children with four different women, Cannon did not rule out having more children during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
"Think about it, you can't be like, 'No I'm done.' Like what if God says, 'No you not,'" Cannon said. "I come from a big family, I have several siblings, being raised in an unorthodox family by my grandparents at times, I've experienced such a wide range of upbringing that I have such a love and passion for kids and family. I want a big family too."
During a more recent interview on "The Dr. Oz Show" in November 2021, Cannon said that he doesn't kn0w how many kids he'll have before joking about having the "biblical number" of 12.
He added that it is "difficult" to answer if he'll have more kids because he is single and he doesn't know whether he'll fall in love again.
Nick Cannon apologized to the mothers of his children for the way he announced his eighth child.
A few days later, Nick Cannon apologized for the way he handled the announcement of his impending child.
Originally, he went into detail about how long he was refraining from announcing the pregnancy due to the death of Zen. That same day, Zen's mother, Scott, reacted to the announcement in a now-deleted Instagram post.
"It is painful having my son be a part of conversations that aren't in alignment with his light and legacy," Scott said.
Cannon said on his talk show a couple of days later: "I misspoke and probably went too much into detail on Monday expressing my feelings and it probably felt like I was making some comparatives when talking about the passing of my son Zen and then also talking about the new child I'm expecting."
He added: "I didn't need to do that because those are two completely separate moments in my life and they both deserve the respect."
Cannon also apologized for "any extra pain or confusion" he caused with the announcement.
Nick Cannon confirmed that his celibacy vow started after he found out about his eighth child.
After the announcement of Cannon's eighth child, fans questioned whether the actor had broken the celibacy vow he had made the year before.
Cannon had previously said in October 2021 that he was practicing celibacy at his therapist's suggestion after welcoming his fourth child in less than a year.
In February 2022, he clarified that his therapist actually made the suggestion after finding out about his eighth child.
"My therapist was one of the [people] who said that I should probably be celibate because I had shared that news, that Bre was pregnant," he said on his talk show, as reported by JustJared. "That was the reason why I started my celibacy journey back then. I was [celibate] because I was dealing with [this]."
Cannon said that he carries a "backpack full of guilt" for not spending enough time with Zen before his death.
Later in February, Cannon appeared on his therapist's podcast, "Language of Love," to talk about his relationships with women and his children.
During the interview, he told Dr. Laura Berman that he feels guilty about not being able to spend a lot of time with all his children, especially his late son Zen, due to his work and the kids living in multiple households.
"The one thing that keeps me up at night," he said. "There's this heavy, heavy guilt with the fact of, I didn't get to spend time like I really wanted to with Zen. That I have other children even in a similar age that I was like, 'I'm guilty that I'm not there every day. I'm guilty that the mothers of my children yearn for more and I can only give so much.'"
He continued: "I walk around with a backpack full of guilt but at least I know the harder that I work, then it makes the guilt easier to deal with. I feel the guilt is if I am not working and I'm spending time with a lady and I'm like, 'Man, I got a house full of kids.'"
During the interview, he also admitted that he only had unprotected sex with women who could be the mother of his child.
Cannon said he doesn't have the "bandwidth" for more children.
Cannon also admitted during the "Language of Love" podcast episode that he doesn't plan to have more children.
"I don't have the bandwidth for it anymore," Cannon told Berman. "Because I feel like I do owe the women that are currently in my life, I owe them as much energy, time, and effort as I possibly [can] – especially my kids."
In May, he told E! News' "Daily Pop" show hosts Justin Sylvester and Loni Love that he was considering a vasectomy.
"I already went and got my vasectomy consultation. I ain't looking to populate the Earth completely, but I'm definitely looking forward to taking care and loving all the children that I currently have," he said.
Cannon said that he embraces having a big family.
Cannon was asked again about his family during his appearance on "The Big Tigger Morning Show" on V-103 in May.
Cannon said that he just wants to be a "responsible father."
"I just want to be the best father I can possibly be, and lean into it," he said. "I embrace all my children, I love children, but I wasn't setting out to be Father Abraham. I just embrace it."
He added: "A lot of people have a lot of children as well and they kinda keep it quiet or they don't talk about it, I lean into mine."
Cannon also said that he does not need to worry about his "baby mamas" getting along with each other because they only interact with him.
Cannon told People that he gets "nervous" every time he has to welcome a new baby.
In an exclusive interview with People, the "Wild 'N Out" host spoke about his excitement about his eighth baby.
He told the magazine in May: "I'm so excited about all my kids. Constantly, from every aspect of it. From them getting citizen of the month awards in the first grade to the birth of the new ones. Every day I just wake up excited as a father."
However, Cannon added that he gets "nervous" because every birth is "a miracle."
"You just stay in prayer, you stay in agreement with your partner to just make sure everything is a blessing and operates in the proper way," he said. "So just stay prayed up."
Cannon said that he is "the disciplinarian" in his family.
Cannon also told People that while he is a "fun parent," he is also "the disciplinarian in the family" because he respects values.
"And you know, we established that as early as infancy," he said. "So then there's no reason to be strict because clearly I live a fun, open, free lifestyle, and I want my kids to be able to be happy and be that as well."
He continued: "But long as it's rooted in respect and love. And that's the lines where we try not to break or try not to cross."
Cannon defended having 8 children and said he's involved in "everything" going on in his children's lives.
Cannon defended his big family during an interview in the May-June issue of Men's Health.
Cannon said there is "a lot of toxicity" in a "traditional household" setting.
"It's not about what society deems is right. It's like, what makes it right for you? What brings your happiness? What allows you to have joy and how you define family?" he added. "We all define family in so many different ways."
The "Masked Singer" host also said that he is involved in "everything" with all of his children whether that is dropping them off at school, guitar lessons, or coaching. He said he also FaceTimes them when he's not in town.
"Contrary to popular belief, I'm probably engaged throughout my children's day, more often than the average adult can be," he said.
Cannon added that the flexibility of his work allows him to still be involved in his children's lives.
