Nick Cannon has opened up about the worries that go through his mind as a father of over 10 children.
During a recent appearance on "The Checkup with Dr. Agus" on Paramount+, Cannon spoke about the highs and lows of his experience of fatherhood, according to People Magazine. He touched on the loss of his son Zen, who died in 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, detailing why he did not want him to undergo chemotherapy.
Cannon fathered Zen with Alyssa Scott, who he is expecting his 13th child with. The comedian has children with five other women, including Mariah Carey and Bre Tiesi, and seven of the children were born within the last two years, Insider previously reported.
"Being a father of multiple kids, it's always the biggest guilt on me is that I don't get to spend enough time with all my children," Cannon said.

"One because I'm constantly working and two because I'm just spread thin," he added.

He is also set to carry out his "Next Superstar" tour in 2023, which is described as a "celebratory, empowerment journey for the rising stars of music's next generation," according to Live Nation Entertainment.
