This after The Sun reported that the Wild ‘n out host “pays nearly $3 million annually in child support”. However, speaking to the Neighborhood Talk, Nick disclosed that he actually pays more than the estimated amount.
“I definitely spend a lot more than that on my children annually. I don’t plan to ever have to participate in the governmental system of [a] child,” he explained.
Nick Cannon has children with multiple women, including Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi and Lanisha Cole; and according to The Sun, the Drumline actor is expecting his twelfth child with Alyssa Scott.
