While there is nothing wrong with having as many children as you please, it does raise a few eyebrows when your current girlfriend gives birth to your seventh child only days after another gave birth to your twins.
The radio host has welcomed four children with three different women in less than a year!

While he has jokingly always responded to questions about his expanding family by referring to himself as a seahorse, he has finally cleared up some things in a recent interview as he clarified what his views on marriage and monogamy are.
While appearing on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, Nick was asked about marriage and partnership.
That’s a Eurocentric concept … the idea that you’re supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life. The idea that a man should have one woman. We shouldn’t have anything. I have no ownership over this person.- Nick Cannon

The 40-year-old says he understands marriage is an institution, but he doesn't agree with it and he feels that if you look back in history "it was to classify property".
He explains that the women that he deals with in his life, or has dealt with, know how he feels.
Those women, and all women, are the ones that open themselves up and say, 'I would like to allow this man into my world and I will birth this child.' It ain’t my decision. I’m just following suit. If we’re really talking about how we co-exist and how we populate, it’s about what exchange can we create together.- Nick Cannon

After his interview, Twitter felt some kind of way about the fact that he called monogamy "Eurocentric":
I wonder if Nick Cannon wants his daughters to subscribe to these ideals. I wonder if he will teach them that monogamy and marriage is Eurocentric and therefore they should have children by men who have multiple baby mamas. pic.twitter.com/CkqMHfukcl

The only thing Nick Cannon can say is that he was honest & none of the kid’s moms were surprised…but to throw around how monogamy is “Eurocentric” - has he seen how most of the moms look 🤣 pic.twitter.com/NszSyWn46d

It’s Nick Cannon preaching his detachment from “Eurocentric values” but procreating with multiple yt women for me. So no to the values but yes to the women???????

Nick Cannon saying he has multiple baby mommas is because he doesn’t subscribe to the Eurocentric beliefs is hilarious cause if you look at half his baby mommas/ex wife…🙂
