Nick Cannon Pursuing Child Psychology Degree

by

Given that he’s welcomed 12 children into his life from six different mothers, Nick Cannon has a lot to learn about fatherhood. Moreover, he spoke on his progress on The Language Of Love podcast with Dr. Laura Berman on Sunday (June 18). In fact, he wants to take that learning process to the next level and actually hit the books. Furthermore, the multi-hyphenate entertainment figure revealed his pursuit of a master’s degree in child psychology. During their conversation, he mentioned some of the things that stick out in his mind the most in his early stages of advanced education.

“Oh, the presence of a father and how much will they need you,” Nick Cannon remarked. “The Freudian aspect of reverting back to your childhood trauma, or the lack thereof. Nature vs nurture. These are conversations I have several times every single day. I’m living, whether in therapy on my own or even just wanting to make sure that every single child has what they need, developmentally and emotionally. I’m studying the brain and at what point does sensory matter.”

Nick Cannon’s Full Interview On The Language Of Love

Regardless of his studies, the “Wild ‘N Out” host is also taking other steps to develop his relationship with his children- or rather, with each other. “As much as that may be a wish of mine, I’ve got to respect that’s not a wish of everyone’s,” Nick Cannon said of bringing all his kids together. “I think that we’ll get there. One of the things I’ve witnessed from some of my elders in the game, once the children get of age to make their own decisions, it’ll happen. Because they’re currently under their mothers’ jurisdiction, I’m trying to play by the moms’ rules. But once they can make their own decisions, I would hope and pray that we’ll have established a strong enough relationship that they’ll want to come hang out with me.

“I think he’s kind of already figured it out,” he said of his six-year-old son Golden. “He knows he has other siblings. Even within his own house, he’s not an only child,” Cannon continued. “He knows about his older siblings. He’s been around the younger ones. He’s been around them, just nobody talks about it. It’s not like, ‘This is your brother or your sister. And I think the school that he’s in, he’s on the internet. He knows his dad is known for having a lot of kids.” For more news and the latest updates on Nick Cannon, stay up to date on HNHH.

Chris Paul Offers Graduates “$2,500 Value” After Earning Degree At Winston-Salem

by

NBA star Chris Paul graduated from Winston-Salem State University on Friday, receiving a bachelor’s degree in mass communications. Shortly after, it was announced that he would help grant each new graduate a “$2,500 value.”

Paul, who hails from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, crosses the stage and receives his degree in a video clip. He also donned a red-and-white cap and gown. 

An avid sneakerhead, the Phoenix Suns player also donned custom matching sneakers. Paul wore the red, black, and white Jordan 1 lows along with a pair of black slacks.

According to ESPN, he revealed that he wanted to be lowkey during the graduation and not draw attention, saying, “I was trying to make it as normal as possible. You know, all these students here have fought their butts off for a while to get their degree.”

“And I wanted to make sure that in no way I was trying to show them up on their special day,” he added. “They had a lot of family, loved ones that’s here to support them and to see them. And I just wanted to be a graduate just like that.”

The 37-year-old also decided to give back to his fellow graduates by offering them a chance to better their finances. 

As explained by NBA journalist Marc J. Spears, “Chris Paul is helping each WSSU graduate fund their Greenwood account by depositing $100 in the account and covering the $200 per month membership for ELEVATE for a full year. In total, this is a $2,500 value for each WSU December 2022 graduate.”

Described as a “mobile banking platform,” Greenwood was co-founded by rapper Killer Mike in 2020. Their Elevate membership allows users to receive travel perks and have access to exclusive events, among other advantages.
