Nick Cannon Says He Doesn't 'Subscribe' To The 'Eurocentric' Concept Of Having Children By 1 Woman, Father Of 7 Has 4 Baby Mamas

Nick Cannon's explanation for having seven children by four different women is more complex than, say, that he just hates wearing condoms.
The 40-year-old media personality wants fans and critics to believe that his often-questioned methods of procreating are actually quite intentional.
Stopping by The Breakfast Club following the recent birth of his seventh child – son Zen S. Cannon, who he shares with model Alyssa Scott – Cannon told co-host Charlamagne Tha God that he doesn't "subscribe" to the "Eurocentric concept" of creating life with just one woman.
The conversation began as soon as Charlamagne introduced his guest as "Nick 'No Condom' Cannon."
Nick jokingly corrected Charlamagne. "The fertilizer," he said. "The fertilizer."
When DJ Envy asked Cannon how many children he wanted, he replied, "I always used to joke around like I wanted 12, the 12 tribes. But I don't really know. Somewhere between 10 and 12?"
"The beauty of fatherhood, man, when you really talk about the essence of living as a father, I've learned so much just from my children, and it's so amazing," he went on. "I really just love being around my kids and just that youthful energy. It just feels like you get to relive every time. And I think because I've been through so much in my life – physically, mentally, and spiritually – the best place I find is the time that I spend with my kids and the energy and to get as much of that as possible to pass on all that I've lived into something else. That's why I do it, man."
