Nick Cannon shared he is not looking forward to planning Father’s Day this year.
The actor told Too Fab he isn’t keen on the idea of coordinating plans with his eleven kids as it puts “pressure” on him.
During a red carpet interview for Season 11 of the ‘Masked Singer’ premiere, a reporter asked the actor about his Father’s Day plans.
The ‘Wild ‘N Out’ host quipped it’s “The day that I should be valued at the highest level, and it never happens, I just get a bunch of socks.”
The reporter asked, “What kind of planning goes into a day so that everyone can have their dad time?”
He responded, “See, that’s the thing, that sounds like a lot of pressure on me. Shouldn’t they be trying to figure out how to come to my world?”
“Mother’s Day is hard enough already. Like, Father’s Day I just want to relax. Send me an e-mail, text me; I’ll be sleep, I’ll be hibernating,” Nick said with a grin.
The Nickelodeon alum said he just wants to kick his feet up at the crib and bypass any outings.
“Father’s Day, I just want to, I’ll be sitting in my lazy boy recliner. If you want to call me, tell me you love me, I’ll be there,” he said.
He admitted planning Mother’s Day was difficult enough, so he deserves relief from coordinating on Father’s Day.
According to Atlanta Black Star, the host mixed up Mother’s Day cards last year. He attempted to give the mothers of his children special handwritten messages, but the nice gesture went up in flames.
The ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ actor admitted the failure on ‘The Daily Cannon,’ which he co-hosts with one of the mothers of his children, DJ Abby De La Rosa.
“I tried my best, I really did,” he explained.
“As I’m writing the handwritten message, I get the cards mixed up. And then so when one baby mama reads the card about how I feel about the other baby mama … see if I had just got some generic s—t that everybody else got, that wouldn’t have happened,” Nick added.
Cannon admitted in a 2022 episode of ‘The Checkup with Dr. Agnus:’
“…being a father of multiple kids, it’s always the biggest guilt on me is that I don’t get to spend enough time with all my children. One ’cause I’m constantly working and two because I’m just spread thin.”
Cannon first fathered twins Moroccan and Monroe, with ex-wife Mariah Carey. He has sons, Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah, and a daughter, Powerful Queen, with pageant winner Brittany Bell. In addition, he has twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and a baby girl, Beautiful Zeppelin, with DJ Abby De La Rosa. He also shares a late son, Zen, and daughter, Halo Marie, with model Alyssa Scott. To boot, Nick has another son, Legendary Love, with realtor and influencer Bre Tiesi. Lastly, he has a daughter, Onyx Ice Cole, with photographer and model LaNisha Cole.
Whew!
Maybe the children’s mothers will get together and coordinate something special for dear ole daddy Nick.
