50 Cent said he doesn’t understand why Nick Cannon would have 12 children, adding that he can’t imagine having that many kids in one house.
In an interview with Forbes‘ Brian J. Roberts, 50 Cent spoke on his regret at buying a large mansion for himself, and added he still took up the same amount of space as he would have in a smaller home. He noted that Cannon and his plethora of babies likely would have appreciated the space.
“If I had Nick Cannon’s 12 kids or shit like that, you could put them all in a bedroom. Everybody’s here,” 50 joked. “But I’m not going to have kids like that. I don’t want the responsibility of that many women that you got to deal with emotionally, especially after they don’t feel like your friend anymore.”
He added, “I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with Nick Cannon,” and quickly corrected himself, saying that the “old 50 Cent” slipped out and he is now the “new” version of himself.
50 Cent and Cannon have a long history of trading shots, with the latter most recently clowning the G-Unit leader for his weight gain in recent years.
“You can, like, fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago,” he said. “That’s a different Fif than this fat n-gga that’s walking around now.”
“I still would date the shit out of him,” Cannon’s co-host, Mason Moussette, added.
“I guarantee you, 50 Cent will come on this show,” Cannon continued. “And I’ma play this clip about both of y’all saying y’all wanna fuck him. He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs in the back of his neck. You lookin’ at them pictures from Get Rich or Die Tryin’, now it’s get thick or die fryin’!”
Despite the fairly consistent teasing over the years, 50 Cent told The Breakfast Club back in 2020 that he’s never felt the need to respond to the Wild ‘n Out host.
“I would never respond to Nick Cannon,” he said. “Never. The camera is on, right? He’s legendary corny. He’s been legendary corny. He’s been corny forever, like from the very beginning. I thought at one point he was headed somewhere that was like Will Smith-ish ’cause it was kind of comedy stuff. Then, it just never got to its destination. It just never got cool.”
Nick Cannon currently shares 12 children with six women, with nine of those children were born between 2020 and 2023. The name of his children are Moroccan, Monroe, Golden, Powerful Queen, Zion, Zillion, Legendary, Onyx, Rise, Beautiful, Halo, and the late Zen who passed away at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
