Nick Cannon says ‘trauma’ made him father 12 children with six different women

Nick Cannon’s relationship to his success and fame has been marred by controversy — not just for his political opinions, but also for his personal life. Lately, however, Cannon has been reexamining his choices and has seemingly figured out why he decided to father 12 children with different women: it was apparently trauma.

Cannon has had a long and diversified career in entertainment. Today, he may be best known for his TV hosting gigs on America’s Got Talent and Wild ’n Out, but there was a time when he appeared in films directed by major filmmakers like Spike Lee and carried on a lackluster one-sided beef with none other than Eminem. Somewhere along the way, he entered into a relationship with Mariah Carey, with whom he had two children. After their split, Cannon became even more dedicated to fatherhood — and in the span of just five years, he went on to have 10 more kids.
