Nick Cannon is a father of 12, thanks to his self-proclaimed “super sperm.”
The comedian has been the guest of the day on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, where he revealed that he actually practiced birth control and “people still got pregnant.”
“I’m gonna be honest, I got some super sperm or something ’cause I’ve practiced birth control, and people still got pregnant,” he told the host. “But, to say that, I’m trying to be as responsible as I possibly can, learning lessons.”
In Cannon’s defense, birth control practices are not always absolutely effective. Planned Parenthood claims that contraceptive pill use is 99% efficient when done correctly each day. So while pregnancy is extremely rare in that circumstance, “people aren’t perfect and it’s easy to forget or miss pills — so in reality the pill is about 93% effective.”
Cannon also talked about his twin 12-year olds Moroccan and Monroe whom he has with Mariah. “It’s my first time having 12-year-olds and I have a set of them! And we’re having real conversations,” he explained. You know, they live lives that are anything but normal. Their mom is one of the biggest entertainers to ever live and their dad is me.”
“They’re so intelligent, they’re so in tune with their own values,” he continued. “One thing they do know is that dad f–ks up. [They know] Dad makes mistakes.”
