The father of 12 shares his brood of children with six different women.

It's been a few months now since Nick Cannon welcomed a new child into the world. Still, the dozen offspring he has fathered over the years remains a hot topic in the media. He's usually bombarded with "jokes" about considering a vasectomy. Thankfully, the entertainer has become an expert at clapping back at haters, as well as answering questions about his unique blended family. Most recently, the man of the hour sat down with Hot 104.1. At the time, he revealed how he financially provides for the various women in his life.

Cannon initially described himself as a "provider" for his children's mothers. He immediately clarified that no "monthly allowance" or "set amount" is given out to each of the six women. "I don't give myself that [guideline]," the rapper explained. "What they need, they get it." According to him, there's never been a request made by one of his baby mamas that "they didn't receive."

Elsewhere in the interview, Cannon spoke about how he manages to balance his schedule with so many different personalities surrounding him. "Everybody has their challenges – but when you really understand this woman has given the greatest sacrifice and sacrificed her body to bring a child into [this world], that’s the best gift any man could ask for," the 42-year-old told Hot 104.1. "Regardless of what goes on in any scenario… I’ll never say anything disrespectful or bad about any of the mothers of my children."

Other recent headlines prove Nick Cannon's comments to be true, as he was gushing about having posters of Mariah Carey on his walls as a teenager not to long ago. The musical couple were married from 2008 to 2016, and share twins – Moroccan and Monroe – the oldest of his 12.
