Cannon, a father of 12, advises on what NBA YoungBlood to do with the many mothers of his kids
When it comes to navigating the complexities of a growing family with multiple co-parents, Nick Cannon believes the answer is surprisingly simple: “Prayer. Bible study.”
The television personality and father of a large blended family didn’t hesitate when asked what advice he would give rapper NBA YoungBoy, whose expanding family has often drawn comparisons to Cannon’s own headline-making parenting journey.
“Prayer. Bible Study. Take all your baby mamas to Bible study,” Cannon said with a smile.
When a reporter followed up with a playful question—“Do you do that?” — Cannon replied with a quick and emphatic: “Yes.”
Faith Over Friction
Speaking in New York, Cannon suggested that faith has played a major role in maintaining peace among the mothers of his children. Rather than focusing on conflict or competition, he emphasized shared spiritual values as a way to create harmony within a complicated family dynamic.
According to Cannon, bringing everyone together through prayer and religious study has helped him manage relationships within his blended family. In his view, the same approach could help NBA YoungBoy navigate life with an even larger circle of co-parents.
His recommendation was straightforward: gather everyone around what he called the most famous book in history and start studying together.
For Cannon, the solution isn’t legal strategy, social media diplomacy, or complicated co-parenting contracts—it’s faith.
Why the Comparison Keeps Coming Up
The comparison between Cannon and NBA YoungBoy has become a recurring topic online as both men have welcomed children with multiple partners.
YoungBoy, born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden and known professionally as YoungBoy Never Broke Again, sparked widespread discussion after sharing photos on Instagram that many fans interpreted as confirming another pregnancy in his family and a possible engagement to longtime partner Jazlyn Mychelle.
Among the images was a photo showing a hand resting on a pregnant belly, alongside a prominent diamond engagement ring that fueled speculation among followers.
The couple already share a daughter, Alice, born in 2021.
At the time, the rapper was believed to be preparing to welcome his ninth child while still in his early twenties—a statistic that immediately reignited comparisons to Cannon.
The Internet Has Thoughts
As news of YoungBoy’s growing family circulated, social media users wasted little time turning the situation into a meme.
One fan joked that future history books might describe much of humanity as descendants of either Nick Cannon or NBA YoungBoy.
Another quipped that the two men appeared to be “having a race” to see who could father the most children.
A third commenter imagined a future where both stars’ family trees would become so extensive that their descendants would be nearly everywhere.
The jokes reflected a broader fascination with the unusually large families both men have built in the public eye.
More Than Family Headlines
Family matters weren’t the only topic on Cannon’s agenda.
He was also asked about allegations that a former business accountant embezzled millions of dollars from him. While he didn’t delve deeply into the details, Cannon indicated that he remains confident the legal process will sort things out.
His response echoed the same theme that shaped his advice to YoungBoy: trust, patience, and faith.
The Cannon Playbook
Whether his approach would work for every blended family is another question entirely. But Cannon’s recommendation for NBA YoungBoy was delivered without hesitation and with the confidence of someone who believes he has found a formula that works in his own life.
His prescription for family peace wasn’t complicated.
“Prayer. Bible Study.”
For Nick Cannon, that’s not just advice—it’s a philosophy.
