Birth control ain’t got nothing on the sperm from Nick Cannon. 12 babies deep, Cannon revealed that his large family is a result of his own brand of “super sperm.”

Speaking with Howie Mandel on Howie Mandel Does Stuff, Cannon says the power of his sperm was able to move past birth control efforts.

“I’m gonna be honest, I got some super sperm or something ’cause I’ve practiced birth control, and people still got pregnant,” Cannon said.

He added, “I’m trying to be as responsible as I possibly can, learning lessons.”

You can hear it all below.

Nick Cannon has been making his rounds discussing his parenting and trailer load of kids. The father of 12 recently shared that it doesn’t benefit anyone but him to have all his children under one roof. Despite being siblings, the actor who shares his kids with six women says seeing them individually works a lot better. 

People Magazine reports:

The actor tells PEOPLE why it “works a lot better” for him to spend individual time with each of his kids rather than get the whole group together.

The 42-year-old, whose new morning show The Daily Cannon debuts on Amp later this month, tells PEOPLE that it “works a lot better” for him to spend individual time with his 12 kids rather than get the whole group together.

Noting that all of his kids come together “when necessary,” he feels the “only person that would benefit from having everyone in the same space would probably be me.”

“I feel like qualitative experiences are when I can give everyone their own individual experience,” he says. “I actually love stepping into their world. Going to their sports games or giving them their personal time for the holidays. So I have no problem with bouncing around.”

Looking to the future, Cannon says he thinks things may change.

“I think as everyone probably gets older, and even as I slow down a little bit more, I’m sure everyone will start coming to me in one place,” he shares.

Today In Hip Hop History: X-Clan Dropped Their Debut Album ‘To The East, Blackwards’ 33 Years Ago

On this day in 1990, “The Verbalizer” Brother J, Professor X “The Overseer”, Paradise “The Architect” and DJ Sugar Shaft “The Rhythm Provider” collectively known as X-Clan, released their debut LP To The East, Blackwards on 4th And B’Way/Island Records.

Produced by the entire crew that was put together by Paradise, who at the time ran the NYC Hip Hop hotspot Latin Quarters nightclub, this album helped to pioneer a movement of Black empowerment in Hip Hop culture with an infusion of Parliament/Funkadelic that was attractive to the youth of that era. Their “Blackwatch” organization, which was led by Professor X’s father, Brooklyn activist Sonny “Abubadika” Carson, legitimized their involvement in raising the consciousness of the Hip Hop generation and their 11 track, debut project was one of the tools that they used to attract their cult-like followers.

Tracks such as “Funkin’ Lesson” and “Heed The Word Of The Brother” led to the album’s mainstream visibility, however, other songs like “A Day Of Outrage(Operation Snatchback)”, “Verbs Of Power” and “In The Ways Of The Scales” allow Brother J to instruct the listeners about the socio-political issues of people of African descent around the world, but primarily in the United States.

Salute to the original members of X-Clan as well as those who continue to carry the legacy of the Clan. Thanks for this timeless piece of Hip Hop history!

Afroman for President: ‘Because I Got High’ Rapper Submits Docs for 2024 Presidential Election

Screen Shot 2022 08 23 at 8.32.30 AM

Afroman has launched his bid for President. The “Because I Got High” rapper submitted the presidential documents to the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday, April 18.

According to TMZ, Afroman is running under the campaign “Joseph Afroman Foremand for President.” His early campaign notes highlight the national need for the legalization of marijuana.

While he is filing documents to run for Pres with the feds, officers are filing documents against Afroman.

In August 2022, Afroman revealed his Ohio home was subject to a police raid. In response, the officers who conducted the search are now suing him.

According to TMZ, Afroman is being sued by the Ohio deputies after he used footage from their raid to make money. Officers are suing Afroman for the use of videos and pictures for music videos and merchandise.

In the lawsuit, Afroman was not home during the search, but his wife was, and she sprung into action, capturing as much as video as possible. Afroman’s security cameras also assisted in capturing the officer’s actions.

The officers stated Afroman did not have permission and cited that the rapper is exhibiting an invasion of privacy and misappropriation of their likenesses, leading to reputation damage, emotional distress, and more.

Afroman stated in the raid officers took hundreds of dollars from him.

According to TMZ, Afroman counted the money he got back from Adams County Sheriff after the raid, and about $400 was missing.

Now, Afroman is looking for answers because he thinks the money disappeared during its stay in evidence, and he is now ready to sue.

Afroman’s Ohio home was raised in August as the police were allegedly tipped off to guns and drugs.

The “I Got High” rapper’s home was raided by authorities while he was on tour in Chicago. The police were banging on his door with weapons drawn, according to neighbors who warned Afroman, whose real name is Joseph Foreman, about the raid before he returned home.

“While I’m out here working and paying taxes the. Adams county sheriff department is at my house kicc-ing in my door and stealing my money,” said the rapper on his IG post. He continued telling a story about the department saying, “The Adams county sheriff department threaten to arrest me for checc-ing up on the case too frequently,” which was referring to him filing a police report for his insurance company after his home was burglarized while he was on tour.

Screen Shot 2022 08 23 at 8.30.43 AM

Afroman said, “I [accepted] the fact that the police department is not necessary here to protect and serve me a blacc man in America so I just took my loss and never called bacc. Now here they are kicc-ing in my door looking for weapons of mass destruction and 100,000,000 pounds of weed lol wow Donald Trump calls these investigations witchhunts.”

As Conor MacGregor eloquently put it, Nate Diaz is on a rampage.

Just ten days after the announcement of his fight against Jake Paul, which is slated for August 5th, former UFC fighter Nate Diaz choked a man until he was unconscious in a brawl on the streets of New Orleans.

In a totally separate occasion, but on the same night, Diaz threw a water bottle at Chase DeMoor during a live Misfits boxing event in NOLA after being heckled and called a “p*ssy” by the reality TV star.

Both incidents have been caught on camera.

Last week Jamie Foxx’s daughter announced that he had been rushed to the hospital after suffering from an undisclosed medical emergency. The 55-year-old actor is still in a Georgia medical facility after he fell ill while filming  his upcoming Netflix movie Back in Action, alongside Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close.

Reports are now saying that Jamie is still in the hospital but sources confirm he is awake and alert.

Jamie Foxx’s health is continuing to improve after being hospitalized in Georgia last week following what his daughter called a “medical complication.”

“He’s OK, thank God,” a source tells PEOPLE. “He’s still in the hospital and doctors are running tests but he’s awake and alert. They’re keeping him under observation.”

Multiple sources have told PEOPLE that the Oscar winner, 55, is steadily improving as he works toward recovery in a Georgia medical facility.

The incident occurred while Foxx was in Georgia to film Back in Action. It did not happen while he was on set, and he was not transported to the hospital by emergency vehicle, PEOPLE confirmed.

Production resumed soon after on the set of the Netflix movie, in which Foxx stars alongside Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close. He was last seen filming on April 10. Due to his hospitalization, one stunt double stood in for Foxx and a second individual served as his photo double.
