Last month, Nick Cannon welcomed yet another child with his rumored girlfriend Alyssa Scott. His fourth baby mama took to her Instagram to announce that she has given birth to a baby boy.

“I don’t fear it, I welcome it! I got to a space now where [I can say] I’m probably gonna die sooner than most people. I mean, that’s what the doctor said. But I’m living life like ‘F**k, I might die in the morning, so let’s f**k all night! So why wear condoms?” Cannon told Howard Stern about life and death in 2017. “So why wear condoms?”

Cannon’s fourth baby in a year, in June Nick and international DJ Abby De La Rosa welcomed twin sons, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir.

In December 2020, he welcomed daughter Powerful Queen with former beauty queen Brittany Bell, with whom he also shares 4-year-old son Golden.

Nick also shares 10-year-old twins, son Moroccan Scott Cannon and daughter Monroe Cannon, with ex-wife Mariah Carey.

Asked about his seven children during an appearance on The Breakfast Club, the 40-year-old tried to explain why he has so many kids with different mothers.

“Why do people question it? That’s a eurocentric concept when you think about the ideas…that you’re supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life,” he argued.

“The idea that a man should have one woman…we shouldn’t have anything. I have no ownership over this person. It’s about what exchange we can create together. So, I’ve never really subscribed to that mentality. I understand the institution of marriage but if we go back to what that’s about, that was to classify property. One father gave another man his daughter for land,” he added.

“I don’t want ownership over anybody. I don’t have ownership over any of the mothers. We created a beautiful entity.”

“I don’t subscribe to that. Those women, all women, are the ones that open themselves up and say ‘I would like to allow this man in my world. And I will birth this child.’ It ain’t my decision. I’m following suit,” he revealed.

“Every woman that I deal with or dealt with, they know how I feel,” Nick insisted and claimed he’s not going around deciding whom to impregnate next.

Rarely do we talk about men’s shoes here at Your Next Shoes, but when a male celebrity wears such an eye-catching pair, we have to take notice.

After the ladies of America’s Got Talent in hot designer shoes had dominated the red carpet, in August 2013, Nick Cannon stole the show at the post-show event in Radio City Music Hall.

The American television personality looked dapper in a white suit and a red pin-striped shirt paired with red gradient dress shoes. It was definitely an interesting choice.

For a toned-down version of Nick’s shoes, go for a brown-gradient pair of oxfords.

Nick may have stolen the spotlight on this occasion, but the show’s female judges also looked stunning at the event.

It’s not our favorite look from the Project Runway host, but we think she looks good in practically anything. Do you agree?
