Nick Cannon’s former partner accuses him of being an absent father.
In recent social media discourse, Alyssa Scott, one of Nick Cannon’s co-parents, has publicly criticized the entertainer for his perceived absence in their child’s life. The model took to her Instagram Story to address Cannon, who hosts the popular show “Wild ‘n Out,” after he posted a video discussing the decision to insure his testicles for million. In her post, Scott expressed her frustration, questioning his commitment as a father and highlighting that it had been over a month since he last saw their daughter.
Scott and Cannon welcomed their first child, a son named Zen, in 2021. Tragically, Zen passed away in December of the same year at just five months old due to a brain tumor. The couple later welcomed a daughter named Halo in December 2022, who is now growing up in the spotlight of her father’s considerable media presence.
In previous statements, Cannon, 44, has acknowledged the challenges of balancing his extensive career and family life. He admitted that he often feels guilty about not being able to spend enough time with all his children, a situation exacerbated by his busy work schedule and the sheer number of dependents he has. Cannon is known to have fathered a total of twelve children with six different women, a fact that has drawn significant public attention and scrutiny.
Among his children is a set of 14-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, whom he shares with pop superstar Mariah Carey. Additionally, he has three children with Brittany Bell: sons Golden, 8, and Rise, 2, along with daughter Powerful Queen, 4. With Abby De La Rosa, Cannon has twins Zion and Zillion, as well as a daughter named Beautiful Zeppelin, who is two years old. His family tree also includes a daughter named Onyx with model LaNisha Cole and a son, Legendary, 2, with model Bre Tiesi.
Scott’s comments surfaced around the time when Monroe and Moroccan celebrated their 14th birthday. Photos from the event showed Cannon and Bell in attendance, once again illuminating the complexities of family dynamics within Cannon’s life.
As the discussion surrounding Cannon’s parenting continues to unfold in the public eye, it raises broader questions about the implications of celebrity lifestyles on family relationships and responsibilities. The ongoing dialogue reflects the challenges many individuals face in balancing work and family commitments, particularly when the pressures of public scrutiny are at play.
