Nick Cannon said 'monogamy' is a 'Eurocentric concept' that he doesn't 'subscribe to'

• Nick Cannon said he does not "subscribe to monogamy" on "The Breakfast Club" radio show.
• He explained that it was the women he's in relationships with who lead and he is just "following suit."
• Cannon also questioned why it's a big deal that his children don't have the same mother.

Nick Cannon said that he doesn't "subscribe to monogamy" when asked about his children with multiple women on "The Breakfast Club" radio show.

The "Wild N Out" host and creator clarified to the hosts of "The Breakfast Club," Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, and DJ Envy, about how he feels about relationships after the recent birth of his seventh child.

When Charlamagne said people "question" why the TV personality has kids with multiple women, Cannon responded: "But why do people that?"

"That's a Eurocentric concept when you think about the ideas of you're supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life," Cannon added. "And really that's just to classify property when you think about it."

Cannon continued, "I don't have ownership of any of the mothers. We create families in the sense of we created a beautiful entity."

"It's about what exchange can we create together. I've never really subscribed to that mentality. I understand the institution of marriage if we go back to what that was about.

Cannon has seven children with four different women. Four of the children were born within less than a year since last December. He previously said on his Power 106 Los Angeles radio show that he was "having these kids on purpose."

On "The Breakfast Club," Cannon also clarified that it's the women in his relationships who are choosing to have children with him.

"Those women, and all women, are the ones that open themselves up to say, 'I would like to allow this man in my world and I will birth this child.' So it ain't my decision, I'm just following suit," he said. "They know how I feel. I'm not going around like, 'Who am I gonna impregnate next?' ... The woman is always the one who leads and makes the decision."

Cannon is the father to twins with his ex-wife Mariah Carey, two children with Brittany Bell, and twins again with DJ Abby De La Rosa. The host's youngest child is with model Alyssa Scott, who was born in June.
