Nick Cannon spoke about his future as a baby father during a conversation with The Shade Room, which they recently teased. Moreover, the full episode and interview will be available on their YouTube channel on Friday (March 17) at 5pm EST. During that snippet, Cannon reflected on how he sees upcoming years with his six baby mamas and with his 12 children, although it's a lot to consider. However, he seems quite excited and passionate about showing that love consistently. After all, his recent jokes and teases about his many children indicate a light-hearted but dedicated attitude.

Firstly, the interviewer asked him whether he sees a future with his BMs and a lifelong relationship with his children. "I love them," he said about his partners. "They're amazing!" Then, the interviewer asked whether he sees something long-term with just one of his flames. "Yeah, they're the mothers of my children!" he said about staying in touch with them. However, he pushed back on exclusivity or playing favorites. "But that's a disservice to the other ones. I'll be over here! And if you wanna see me, I'll be at the house. How could I be lonely, I got 12 kids!"

Also, the Wild N' Out star recently responded to jokes that Jimmy Kimmel made about him at the Oscars concerning his... seed. Disney spent 2 billion dollars to make this movie. Just to break even, all of Nick Cannon’s children had to see Avatar four times," the awards show host said. In typical Cannon fashion, he took it in stride. "Nah, it’s hilarious," he told TMZ. "I created Wild N’ Out. I can hear jokes all day long. Kimmel’s my man.”

During our interview with him, he also spoke on the value of compassion, which surely drives him to maintain these positive and loving relationships with so many. "I think over the years, in even just my persona. I’ve spoken about it, even my ego can sometimes be like, ‘Oh, I just want to be a boss. I want to be a mogul, I want to do this.’ But really, I come from a place of empathy and compassion for so many. And specifically, my family and those I care for, I feel like I’ve been put on this planet to take care of. I just, I’m truly—I wake up each and every day grateful for life. Walking in gratitude. Trying just to practice compassion more and more every day." Regardless of your take, log back into HNHH for the latest updates and news on Nick Cannon.
