The 43-year-old TV personality has opened up about how much he spends to entertain his large brood at Disneyland, and the amount is staggering.
How Cannon entertains his numerous kids
Cannon, who appeared on The Breakfast Club radio show, admitted that he drops $200,000 (R3.6 million) annually to take his 12 kids to The Happiest Place on Earth.
He said he visits the theme park once a month, and it’s not cheap to move around with such a big family.
“Disneyland is expensive already off [the] top if you’re trying to stay in the hotel. It’s not how it used to be. You gotta make reservations,” he said.
Cannon added that he used to get free perks when he hosted the park’s Christmas morning parade from 2009 to 2019, but that’s no longer the case.
“So, I used to get that Disney bag. They were perks. So, all of that stuff was free. It’s no longer free, and I only had two kids then [twins with ex-wife Mariah Carey,” he said.
Cannon forgets baby's name
In a separate story, Cannon, who shares those kids with six women, during a recent interview, failed to list all the names of his 12 children.
The actor named all his kids except seven-month-old daughter Onyx, and netizens called him out for it.
The online community shared hilarious comments, and Onyx's mum, LaNisha Cole, also shared a cryptic message in response.
"Nick Cannon tries to name all his kids and forgets 1," read the caption.
