'Money doesn’t make you happy': Nick Cannon admits to not paying child support for his 12 children

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nick Cannon revealed that he is "not in the child support system that is run by the government," and the mothers of his 12 children can have "whatever they want, whatever they ask for." Earlier this month, the 'All That' alum told listeners of 'The Jason Lee Podcast' that he does not pay child support for all of his children.

"My money is they [sic] money, they [sic] money is my money. … My account is their account, and there’s a lot in there, so we ain’t gon’ run out," Cannon said. The 42-year-old actor shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey; sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah Cannon and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole.

'I believe true currency is your energy'

The 'Masked Singer' host said that after welcoming his children, he does not "care about" protecting his assets. "I believe the true currency is your energy. I wish I could make a contract [that says], 'You cannot take this much of my energy when you leave,' " said the comedian who has a net worth of $50 million.

"Money comes and goes. I always tell people, 'Money doesn’t make you happy. Happy makes you money.' So I’m always going to be good, and every dollar that I make is for my family," he added.

'Court can basically say he can’t afford to pay child support'

Before the podcast was recorded on May 8, 2023, Tiesi said that due to Cannon's abundance of children, he may not have to pay child support. On Season 6 of 'Selling Sunset'. the real estate agent told co-star Amanda Smith that "The way it works is, like, after 10, the court can basically say he can’t afford to pay child support. Because he is who he is, they could say, ‘We know you can afford X amount for each household."

However, her attorney Neama Rahmani disputed the claim and clarified on Page Six stating, "California law does not limit child support payments based on the number of children a parent has. It doesn’t matter whether Nick or any other father has one child or 12."
