Nick Cannon responded to Jimmy Kimmel making jokes about his kids at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday night. Speaking with TMZ after the award show, Cannon says that he found them “hilarious” and can handle it. Kimmel had been discussing Avatar: The Way of Water when he remarked, “Disney spent 2 billion dollars to make this movie. Just to break even, all of Nick Cannon’s children had to see Avatar four times.”
“Nah, it’s hilarious. I created Wild N’ Out. I can hear jokes all day long,” Cannon told TMZ, before adding, “Kimmel’s my man.” When the reporter asked how many kids he’d like to have, Cannon joked, “I don’t know. Whatchu doing later?”

Cannon first welcomed twins with his ex-wife, Mariah Carey, in 2011. In the years since, he’s had 10 more babies with five other women. They include Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole, and Alyssa Scott. Most recently, Alyssa Scott gave birth to their baby in December 2022. Last month, he told Entertainment Tonight that he’s open to having more kids as well.
Nick Cannon was far from the only person Kimmel poked fun at during his time hosting the event. Perhaps most of all, Kimmel trolled Will Smith, who was banned from the event after slapping Chris Rock at last year’s ceremony. “We want you to have fun, feel safe and, most importantly, we want me feel safe,” Kimmel told the audience. “So, we have strict policies in pace. If anyone in this theater commits an act of violence at any point during the show, you will be awarded the Oscar for best actor and permitted to give a 19-minute long speech. But seriously, the academy has a crisis team in place. If anything unpredictable or violent happens during the show, sit there and do absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug.”
