Nick Cannon believes he has 'super sperm' that's too strong for birth control

Nick Cannon believes he has 12 children because of his “super sperm.”

During his appearance on the Howdie Mandel’s podcast, Howdie asked the comedian if he's done with having kids, to which Nick hesitatingly replied, “yeah.” 

“This is the thing, I don’t want to say 'yeah' and then, you know. It’s a reproductive system, it could happen anytime,” he said. 

“I’ll give you a solid answer, as of right now, no,” he continued. “There’s no way to answer that question correctly because everyone has a problem however I answer, so I’ll just say as of right now, I have 12 and I’m very happy.” 

Howdie asked if he’s going to abstain from sex. Nick replied that he tried, but “it doesn't work.” He believes that he’s got “super sperm” as he managed to get his ex-partner pregnant even when he was on birth control.

However, Nick emphasized that he’s trying to be “as responsible” as possible with learning lessons. Howdie quipped, "It's hard to be responsible when you have super sperm." 

The 42-year-old comedian and TV host has recently welcomed his 12th child with Alyssa Scott. 

He also shares 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife, Mariah Carey, with whom he shared 8 years of marriage. Currently, he has 9 other children from four different mothers, aged 3 months to 6 years old. 

Nick has previously expressed his desire to having more children, saying, "God decides when we're done."

“But I believe I definitely got my hands full—and I'm so focused, I'm locked in. But when I'm 85, you never know. I might,” he said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
