American actor and TV personality, Nick Cannon has said having 12 children with six women was a calling from God and that only God can let him know when to hang his boots.
The 42-year-old rapper and comedian said this during a chat with Dr Laura Berman on her The Language of Love podcast.
According to Daily Mail, after Berman stated that many women were on “full on birth control and gotten pregnant” and joked that he has “magic sp£rm” Cannon replied, “I lend that type of stuff to God. Those are miracles.”
Cannon and Berman also joked about his story resembling that of Abraham in the Bible, with Cannon adding, “I’ve never heard that clarity, but I’ve heard ‘Yo, you’re going to be a father of many. You’re a great influence, your lineage, your offspring are going to do great things.’”
The actor then said he is open to having more children, telling Berman, “The more the merrier!”. This propelled the host to ask, “Did God tell you to have all these babies?”
Canonn said that he has gotten in trouble for saying that before and shared that when people will ask him if he is done having children, his response would be, “Only God can let me know when I’m done.”
Adding that, “As much as I was open to every single child that I have, I can’t say the majority of them were planned.
If you would have told me in 2012 when I was still married and just diagnosed with Lupus that 10 years from now… that I would have 12 children, I would be like f**k out of here! There’s no way in the world that I would ever plan that.”
