Nick Cannon Forgets Two of His 12 Kids’ Names While Trying to List Them: ‘I Usually Get in Trouble’

Trying to keep track of every one of Nick Cannon‘s 12 children is a difficult task for most — and apparently, it’s not particularly easy for Cannon himself.

During an appearance on The Really Good Podcast with host Bobbi Althoff, Cannon was asked to list out each of his 12 children’s names. The actor and host told Althoff “I usually get in trouble” when trying to name each of his kids, but proceeded to try his best.

 “I’ll lay them all out for you, keep me honest. There’s ‘Roc, ‘Roe, Golden, Powerful, Rise, Onyx, Legendary, Zion, Zillion, Zen,” he said, before trailing off. “See this is where … How many [are left?]”

In the spirit of keeping him honest, Cannon named Moroccan and Monroe, the twins he had with Mariah Carey; Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell;  Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole; Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa; and the late Zen with Alyssa Scott.

The only two kids Cannon missed in his list were his two latest children: Beautiful Zeppelin, who he had with De La Rosa; and Halo Marie, who he had with Scott.

Elsewhere on the podcast, Cannon explained to Althoff why he has so many children, with the Drumline star saying that he has what he calls a “king complex” when it comes to procreation. “You know, Black men, we always be like, ‘What’s up king?’ I really think I’m the king,” he said, before explaining to Althoff that kings of the past would have lots of children to “enlarge their territory.”
