How many kids does Nick Cannon have?
It’s a legitimate question. The actor, comedian, television host is quite prolific in the area of siring children. At last count Cannon is up to 10 kids, with a rumored 11th on the way. ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III was obviously thinking about Cannon and his offspring when he tweeted a photo of Baltimore Ravens tight end Isiah Likely in the end zone. Likely wears number 80, so when you post that image with the question, you get the joke …

As far as humor goes that’s on the “dad joke” level of humor. RGIII gets a couple points for creativity and the use of an active football player.
Cannon had his first two children with Mariah Carey — twins Morocco and Monroe — in 2011.
He had a son named Golden “Sagon” with Brittney Bell in 2017. The two also had a daughter, named Powerful Queen, in December 2020.
In June 2021, he welcomed his second set of twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa. That same month, he and Alyssa Scott had a son Zen. He died from brain cancer at just 5 months old.
In January, Cannon had a son named Legendary with Bre Tiesi. In August, he said that he was expecting his third child with Bell. Weeks later, he and photographer LaNisha Cole welcomed their first child, Onyx, together. Two weeks later, he announced Bell had given birth to their daughter, Rise Messiah Cannon.
In 2021 RGIII announced that he was to release a book titled “Surviving Washington,” which was to detail his experiences, including sexual harassment and medical mismanagement of his injuries, during his time with the Washington Commanders franchise.
In a since-deleted Tweet, Grete Griffin made it clear that the sexual harassment issues involved her husband.
“Let’s clear up a misconception about ‘Surviving Washington.’ In the book, Robert is not talking about other peoples experiences with sexual harassment in Washington. He is talking about his OWN experience with sexual harassment in Washington.”
Earlier this year, RGIII, through his agent, said the book will no longer be released.
“Through the process of thinking about writing a book, I’ve learned that this an issue bigger than one person,” Griffin said. “I want to give space to and elevate those who have already come forward, while encouraging those who have not yet to feel empowered to speak. This is a matter that very qualified people are continuing to manage with sensitivity and seriousness, and ultimately, I learned that this book was not the proper forum for this. In time and through a more meaningful method, I hope to address my first-hand experience.”
RGIII was drafted No. 2 overall in the 2012 NFL draft out of Baylor. He was named rookie of the year and earned Pro Bowl honors as a member of the Commanders franchise.
Injuries derailed a promising start to his career as he was never able to show the promise he did as a rookie. He signed with the Cleveland Browns and eventually the Baltimore Ravens, where he was last seen as a backup to Lamar Jackson in 2020.
In 2021 RGIII signed a multiyear deal with ESPN to serve as a college football analyst, a role he is pretty good at. This could easily be his job for the next 20 years.
