- Nick Cannon appeared to make light of his large family in a recent tweet.
- Cannon joked that getting a fresh haircut makes him feel like he can "impregnate the whole world."
Nick Cannon, who is father to 12 children, joked that getting a fresh haircut makes him feel like he can "impregnate the whole world."
After getting divorced from Mariah Carey, with whom he has twins Moroccan and Monroe, in 2016, Cannon went on to have 10 more children with five different women. Seven of his children were born within the last three years.
Cannon has become something of a meme as a result of his large family, but it seems the 42-year-old star sees the funny side of things.
He tweeted on Wednesday: "Something about a Fresh Haircut that makes you feel like you can impregnate the whole world…"

Earlier this year, Cannon tricked fans when he shared a trailer for an E! reality show called "Who's Having My Baby?" in which contestants would compete to mother Cannon's next child.
However, Variety later reported that the trailer was a fake sketch to promote Kevin Hart's recent prank show.
Last year, Cannon also appeared in a tongue-in-cheek commercial for Ryan Reynolds' gin company, Aviation, in which he promoted a new gin-based cocktail called "The Vasectomy."
"It's almost Father's Day and the one and only Ryan Reynolds asked me to help us all celebrate with the mother of all cocktails, 'The Vasectomy,'" Cannon said in the ad. "Lord knows I need one."
This advert followed comments from Cannon himself about going to a vasectomy consultation.
He said during an interview on E! News' "Daily Pop" show last year: "I already went and got my vasectomy consultation. I ain't looking to populate the Earth completely, but I'm definitely looking forward to taking care and loving all the children that I currently have."
However, last month, the "Masked Singer" host said on "The Howard Stern Show" that he only considered the vasectomy due to societal pressures.
"It's a scary thing," Cannon said. "I felt pressured. I felt the world was trying to make me get a vasectomy. I don't operate well under pressure. My body, my choice."
He continued: "You ever know what it's like to be walking down the street and just a random stranger be like, 'Man, you need to go get snipped?' I'm like, 'I don't even know you.'"
