Nick Cannon has attempted to name all of his children from memory and it's left everyone saying the exact same thing.
The 44-year-old comedian and TV presenter has famously fathered 12 children with six different women.
Cannon shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah Cannon and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa, son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole.
He is also father to two children with Alyssa Scott - son Zen, who sadly died at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, as well as daughter Halo Marie Cannon, who was born in 2022.

It appears, however, that Cannon finds its difficult listing his many children as during a recent appearance on Bobbi Althoff’s Really Good podcast, he was only able to list 10 out of 12 of his brood.
"I usually get in trouble," he joked. "I know all of them, but like, here we go. I’ll lay them all out for you. Keep me honest.
"There’s Roc, Roe, Golden, Powerful, Rise, Onyx, Legendary, Zion, Zillion, Zen, and … see, this is where … How many [are left?]"
Host Althoff then replied: "You’re missing two!"
"I’m missing two," Cannon reiterated as he attempted to remember the final two monikers.
The clip has since gone viral on social media with many viewers rushing to share their reactions to the father-of-12's blunder.
"Imagine being the 2 he can’t remember," one X user lamented, as a second chimed in: "Imagine being a part of the 2. Boy that’s cold and they mommas coming with smoke."
"This is unacceptable," agreed a third, while a fourth slammed: "He should be embarrassed."
Another hit out: "That sh*t not even funny lol bro lame for tryna act like that should be a hard thing to know off top."
"What a loser," echoed a final X user.
When asked by Althoff why he has so many kids, Cannon joked that it's because he thinks of himself as a king.
"Why do I have so many kids? I have a king complex," the Masked Singer host responded. "You know, Black men, we always be like, 'What’s up king?'
"I really think I’m the king."
"So you need to have… do kings have a lot of kids?" Athoff asked, to which Cannon responded: "Yeah."
