Nick Cannon struggled to remember the names of all 12 of his children during an interview with Bobbi Althoff on The Really Good Podcast. Clips of the moment have been going viral on social media with fans criticizing Cannon for the awkward moment.
While discussing his forgetfulness, Cannon challenged Althoff to name 12 states, before trying something more personal. Eventually, he surrendered and tried to remember his children. “I usually get in trouble… I’ll lay them all out for you, keep me honest. There’s ‘Roc, ‘Roe, Golden, Powerful, Rise, Onyx, Legendary, Zion, Zillion, Zen," he said. “See this is where … How many (are left)?”
Fans on social media have been having plenty of jokes at his expense in response. "Nick Cannon named all his kids after armor variations and ranks from Halo: Reach I’m bawling my f*cking eyes out," one user joked. Another added: "That sh*t not even funny lol bro lame for tryna act like that should be a hard thing to know off top."
