Nick Cannon Forgets His Kids' Names: Fans React
Nick Cannon is no stranger to controversial parenting choices, and his most recent interview isn't helping his case.
The media mogul is the proud father of 12 children: He shares 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with his ex-wife Mariah Carey; sons Golden Sagon (8) and Rise Messiah Cannon (2) and daughter Powerful Queen (4) with Brittany Bell; 3-year-old twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin (2) with Abby De La Rosa.
He fathers son Legendary Love (2) with Bre Tiesi, and daughter Onyx Ice Cole (2) with LaNisha Cole. Nick also shares two children with Alyssa Scott — son Zen, who died at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, and daughter Halo Marie Cannon (2).
Earlier this week, during the latest episode of The Really Good Podcast with Bobbi Althoff, Nick was quizzed on his children's names, and, unfortunately, he didn't pass the test.
The two discussed an array of topics, with one of them being fatherhood. Nick opened up about wanting to live like a king. Despite revealing he doesn't want to get married again, he revealed he'd rather enjoy multiple women and produce a court of children.
"Why do you have so many kids?" Bobbi asked. "I always wanted a big family, but I come from an unorthodox family," replied Nick, who has four younger brothers.
"I have a king complex. I really think I'm a king," he added. "Do kings have a lot of kids?" she questioned. "Yeah, that's their court. They enlarge their territory." To emphasize his comments, Nick told Bobbi the story of King Solomon from the Bible and explained how he had 700 wives and 300 concubines. "I don't want no wives, I just want more kids."
But shortly after making that statement, The Masked Singer host added, "I think I'm done [having children]...I don't know what God and the universe have in store for me."
Later on in the interview, Bobbi asked Nick about the names of his 12 offspring. "You want all 12 names?" he replied. "Right, this is usually where I get in trouble." Bobbi pondered, "Why 'cuz you don't know all of them?" To which Nick responded, "I know all of them, but when you label... Like, can you label or just rattle off 12 of anything?"
Nick then challenged her to name 12 states, but Bobbi wanted him to ask her to name something more personal so that it would match him listing the names of his children. After a little back-and-forth, Nick finally responded:
"There's Rock (Moroccan), Roe (Monroe), Golden, Powerful, Rise, Onyx, Legendary, Zion, Zillion, Zen, and...see this is where I...ugh...how many is that?"
After a short pause, he concluded, "I'm missing two. Oh, yeah, did I say Beautiful? There's Beautiful and then there's Halo, my youngest."
Hmm...you can watch the full interview below:

Armani's global aesthetic shines in bohemian Emporio Armani show, though designer misses Milan bow
MILAN (AP) — Giorgio Armani's admiration for other cultures and global aesthetic was on full display at his latest Emporio Armani show, but the designer himself was notably absent. Armani, 90, skipped the customary bow at the Emporio Armani menswear preview for Spring-Summer 2026 during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday, as he recovers at home. His fashion house confirmed his convalescence in advance but did not provide details about his condition. Despite his absence, Armani was deeply involved in shaping the collection, his fashion house said, working closely with Leo Dell'Orco, his longtime menswear director, who took the final bow. Normally, Armani would have posed with the models at the end of the show — another signature moment missing. Bohemian cool for the world traveler The Emporio Armani collection carried a free-spirited, Bohemian air — a vision for the youthful adventurer who balances comfort with style, ornament with utility. Models sported braids or silver beads in their hair, and layered accessories: beaded necklaces, charms, tassels, and fringes. Jackets ranged from softly tailored with sweeping scarf collars — ideal for wind and sun protection — to intricately detailed styles with feather-light touches or loose weaves. Crafted textures and nomadic vibes Natural fabrics like crepe and linen, often left rough to the touch, contrasted with silky prints inspired by Moroccan mosaics. Trousers varied from gently pleated to dramatically ballooned, paired with long, embroidered tunics. The traveler's ensemble was completed with crossbody bags, tapestry duffels, vintage-style suitcases, woven slippers, and straw hats worn low over the eyes, conjuring the image of a man journeying through sun-soaked lands. A sporty take on desert looks For the EA7 Emporio Armani line — his sporty offshoot — Armani leaned into more technical textiles. A desert-inspired capsule collection played out against a soundtrack of howling wind, echoing the stark and elemental feel of the clothes as the models strode through the showroom, which was decorated with sheer curtains. A tribute to Armani's aesthetic origins The show notes described the collection as 'a moment of introspection and identity. Not to pause in contemplation, but to channel new energy into moving forward, while conscious of one's own origins.' Armani returns to 'shapes and attitudes that have always been present, returning to a founding principle of his aesthetic: A genuine interest in other cultures,'' the notes said. Front-row guests included Olympic champion sprinter Marcell Jacobs, actors André Lamoglia, from the Netflix series 'Elite," and Michael Cooper Jr., currently starring in the Netflix series 'Forever,'' and NBA players Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers and Anthony Black of the Orlando Magic.

A Young and the Restless Newman Takeover After June 16
Victor, Nikki, and Nick are all off to meet the mysterious Aristotle Dumas on the June 16 episode of The Young and the Restless. Along with Sharon, Sally, and Billy, they're all playing a lively guessing game of Who Is Dumas? Which means they've taken their eyes off the prize? And what's the prize? Why, Newman Enterprises, of course… and who was left at home to watch the store? We all know that Victor (Eric Braeden) calls Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) 'my baby.' (Which is patronizing and condescending and, if we do say so ourselves… creepy.) But we — and she — know who Victor's real baby is. It's the company he built from the ground up with no help from anyone and without ever doing a bad or illegal thing ever: Newman Enterprises. Victor cares more about it than he does about his precious family, no matter how much he might insist to the contrary. That's why he keeps hiring and firing his children and other relatives from it. Nobody is quite good enough to run it — not the way Victor wants it run. MORE: Find out what happened on Y&R today. Victor is only going to France with Nikki and Nick (Joshua Morrow) because he wants to make sure Dumas doesn't do anything silly, like give Billy (Jason Thompson), Sally (Courtney Hope) or Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) the means by which they might put a chink in Newman Enterprises' armor. He left Adam (Mark Grossman) in charge, confident that his younger son would never do anything that might make his daddy love him less (especially since Victor has already made it clear in countless way to Adam that he loves him less than Victoria [Amelia Heinle] and Nick. Abby [Melissa Ordway] doesn't count.) READ MORE: Here's what happens next on Y&R. Except Victor didn't count on Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) making sad faces at Adam about following Victor's orders and going after Billy. Adam will do anything Chelsea says. He told her he'll deal with Victor. Could that be stealing his entire company out from under Victor while he's away? What will Victor do without his 'baby' then?
