Nick Cannon believes his “super sperm” is the reason he has been fathering so many children in such a short amount of time. The “Wild N Out” star recently appeared on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast, where he said that despite some of his baby mamas supposedly being on birth control, they still ended up falling pregnant with his child. “I’m gonna be honest, I got some super sperm or something, ’cause I’ve practiced birth control, and people still got pregnant,” he shared.
Cannon added, “I’m trying to be as responsible as I possibly can, learning lessons…” Mandel seemed eager to know whether “The Masked Singer” host was planning on welcoming any more children in the near future, to which he said he’d be open to. “I guess… yeah? I don’t wanna say yeah, and then, like, you know, it’s the reproductive system… it could happen at any time… I’m good with my dozen.”

Back in 2017, Cannon shared his dislike for condoms, saying that because of his battle with the autoimmune disease Lupus, his life expectancy could be shorter than others. “I’m probably gonna die sooner than most people… so let’s f**k all night!” he said. “So why wear condoms? I might not be here tomorrow!”
In 2012, Cannon was diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disease that causes the body’s immune system to attack healthy tissues and organs. Since his diagnosis, he has been open about the impact of the disease on his life and family.
In an interview with People Magazine, Cannon shared, “It was super scary just because you don’t know when those moments are going to happen or what they’re going to happen. It was definitely a lot of times where I thought I was going to lose my life.”
Cannon’s battle with lupus has also affected his co-parenting relationship with his children’s mothers. In a 2019 interview with VladTV, he shared that his health struggles have made it difficult to be present for his children at times. He stated, “I’ve had a lot of health scares. There were times where I was in the hospital for weeks at a time… it’s a lot of strain on the relationship.”
Despite the challenges, Cannon has been proactive in managing his lupus and has even started a foundation, the Nick Cannon Foundation, to raise awareness and funds for lupus research.
Co-parenting can be challenging, even in the best of circumstances. When there are multiple “baby mamas” involved, the challenges can be even greater. The TV personality has been vocal about the importance of communication in co-parenting and has shared some tips for successful co-parenting.

In an interview with People Magazine, Cannon stated, “You have to have a strong backbone, and you have to be able to communicate and make sure that everybody’s clear on what’s expected and what the responsibilities are.”
He also stressed the importance of putting the children first and creating a positive environment for them. In an interview with VladTV, Cannon explained, “We’re all in this together. It’s about creating a loving, nurturing environment for these children to grow up in.”
