Nick Cannon has learned his lesson when it comes texting with all six of the mothers of his 12 children.
During the “On Par or Off the Rails” segment of the “On Par With Maury Povich” podcast, host Maury Povich asked Cannon, 46, “Do you think putting all six of your children’s mothers in one giant group chat to figure out Thanksgiving logistics is on par or off the rails?”
Cannon made a face during the Monday, November 9, sitdown, before admitting he’d “tried it” and it definitely went “off the rails.”
He teased that the text exchange with Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Alyssa Scott, Bre Tiesi and LaNisha Cole was “too wild for TV.”
When asked whether his baby mamas get along, Cannon laughed, “How do you define get along?” before confirming they are all “civil.”
“Everybody has their own life, but now putting them all on a group chat together? Not the best idea,” the Masked Singer host confessed.
Cannon has made headlines for years after choosing to have 12 children with six different women. He became a first-time parent in 2011 when he and then-wife Carey welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe, now 15.
The rapper finalized his divorce from Carey, 57, in 2016 and has since become the father of 10 more children.
Cannon shares sons Golden, 9, and Rise, 4, and daughter Powerful, 5, with model Bell, 29, twin boys Zion and Zillion, 5, and daughter Beautiful, 3, with De La Rosa, 36, son Legendary, 4, with Selling Sunset’s Tiesi, 35, and daughter Onyx, 4, with Cole, 44.
The actor welcomed son Zen with Scott, 33, in 2021, who died at 5 months old from a rare form of brain cancer. Cannon and Scott also share a daughter, Halo, 3.
Cannon has a unique bond with each of his kids — and their respective mothers, especially when it comes to Carey, whom he was married to for six years.
“I always say Mariah Carey was my greatest friend and my greatest teacher all at the same time,” Cannon exclusively told Us in his September cover story. “I mean, showed me aspects of the world that I had never seen before and probably would never see again.”
The former Wild ‘N Out star noted that it’s Tiesi, however, who he thinks “probably understands” him “the most” out of the women.
“There’s a safe haven there. We call each other twin flames, because she accepts all of my s***, and I accept everything that she is,” he told Us.
Fans, meanwhile, will get a front row seat at his family dynamic when Cannon’s Netflix docuseries, premiering this winter.
“I think we’re being more open and more vulnerable, and coming from you know a very unorthodox setting,” Cannon teased.
