Nick Cannon Doesn’t Give ‘Monthly Allowances’ to the Mothers of His Children. Here’s Why

I know this sounds bad, but just wait 'till you hear the explanation.

Itโ€™s no secret that TV host and comedic actor Nick Cannon is the father to many, many children. But what may come as a surprise is just how he decides to divvy up his financial responsibilities with his kids mothers.

In a recent interview with St. Louisโ€™ Audacy station Hot 104.1, Cannon divulged the details of how he provides for his children, specifically noting that he doesnโ€™t give any of their mothers a โ€œmonthly allowance,โ€ but instead just ensures they have whatever they need to sustain.

โ€œIt ainโ€™t even about a monthly allowance or amount of money because I donโ€™t give myself that,โ€ he explained per People. โ€œWhat they need, they get it. Thereโ€™s never been something that one of the mothers of my children has asked for and they didnโ€™t receive. Thatโ€™s why they call me the provider.โ€

Of the relationship he has with each childโ€™s mother, he later continued:

โ€œI have so much respect and admiration for the individual. Everybody has their challengesโ€“but when you really understand this woman has given the greatest sacrifice and sacrificed her body to bring a child into [this world], thatโ€™s the best gift any man could ask for.

Regardless of what goes on in any scenario, Iโ€™m gonna always show love and respect. Iโ€™ll never say anything disrespectful or bad about any of the mothers of my children.โ€

See, we told you it wasnโ€™t that bad! Heโ€™s doing what needs to be done (allegedly), so as long as the babies are goodโ€”we should all be good. I know taking care of 12 kids sounds egregious but as the old saying goes: if they like it, we love it. Godspeed to you and your bundles of joy, Nick!
