Nick Cannon Struggles to Remember His Kids' Names: 'I Usually Get In Trouble'

Nick Cannon awkwardly stumbled through the names of his 12 children when asked to recount them in a new interview.

The comedian and television personality was a guest on the June 19 episode of Bobbi Althoff's The Really Good Podcast, during which Althoff asked Cannon about his reasons for having a dozen children.

The Wild'n Out host explained having a "king complex" while comparing himself to King Solomon, who had 700 wives and 300 concubines. "I don't want no wives, I just want kids," Cannon said around the 15-minute mark in the video below.

While Cannon is unsure if he wants to expand his family, he said: "I don't know what God and the universe have in store for me."

Around the 28-minute mark, Cannon detailed his children's personalities, explaining that his two-year-old daughter, Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon, "cries in surround sound." This piqued Althoff's interest, and she asked the comedian to list off his childrens' names.

"I just told you," Cannon said, to which Althoff replied: "You told me one."

"You want all 12?" he asked. "This is where I usually get in trouble... I know all of 'em, but can you rattle off just 12 of anything?"

Cannon asked Althoff to name 12 things, starting with states, but the host said they weren't "personal" to her so she'd be unable to do so. Cannon eventually gave in and tried to name off his children in one go.

"There's Roc, Roe, Golden, Powerful, Rise, Onyx, Legendary, Zion, Zillian, Zen, and..." he began. "And see this is where I, uh..."

Cannon acknowledged that he was "missing two" adding Beautiful and his youngest daughter, Halo Marie Cannon. "There's a song, and I was like, I don't want to do that," Cannon said about the way he usually memorizes his childrens' names. "I wrote a verse that had all their names in it and I just, sometimes I recite that," he said.

When asked to rap the verse, Cannon refused, although he admitted that the video would "probably go viral."

Fatherhood has been a revolving topic for Cannon, who claims to get along with all of his kids' mothers, although Alyssa Scott, the mother of Zen (who died from brain cancer) and Halo, recently alleged that the comedian rarely visits their daughter.
