Nick Cannon accused of ‘misogyny and harassment’ after revealing he wants to have baby number 13 with newly-single Taylor Swift
Nick Cannon has been accused of harassing Taylor Swift after he publicly announced he’d love to have his 13th child with her.
Cannon, 42, who shares 12 children with six different women, appeared on The Howard Stern Show this week, and revealed the celebrity he would father a child with.
When speaking on celebrity baby mamas and Swift, he quipped: ‘That’s the one. That… I’m all in,’ as Stern’s co-host Robin Quivers asked Cannon what it was about Swift that made him say that.
‘First of all, she’s an amazing songwriter and what I do love about Taylor Swift is the fact that she has been so open and vulnerable with all of her music since she was a young girl,’ Cannon said.
He added, ‘And, she’s kinda like me. Me and Taylor’s numbers are very similar when we’re talking about being out here in these streets.’
‘I think she would relate to me very well, based off of like… yo, you’ve dated a lot of people in the public eye, so have I, so we probably would really understand each other,’ Cannon added.
Stern mentioned that it’s been reported that she broke up with Alwyn, and Cannon added, ‘You know that I know that, Howard. You know my Spidey senses was tingling.’
Stern added he would love it if he had a baby with Taylor Swift, adding he thinks it would be ‘fantastic.’
‘Me too. I think that would be amazing,’ Cannon admitted.
While the comments were laughed off on the radio show, shocked listeners took to Twitter to accuse the actor of ‘misogyny and harassment.’ They also accused the father of 11 of reducing women to being ‘objects’ that could bear his children.
One fan shared: ‘Isn’t this harassment?? F**k nick cannon. this is do rude & unprovoked. Taylor swift is larger than the world rn & he wants to take that away from her thru reproductive violence like all men who want their women to sit at home & care for babies when they’re at the peak of success.’
Others added: ‘Imagine if he’d said that The Rock can now carry his baby, or Jason Momoa. He wouldn’t, right? Even if they could carry babies. And it’s because a man won’t violate another man’s bodily autonomy without expecting a fight. But a woman? Available to every man, right? No consent?’;
‘Taylor Swift has been single for one day (publicly) and already s****y men are seeing her as an available womb. That’s what we’re talking about when we we’re talking about reflexive straight cis male misogyny.’;
‘nick cannon needs to leave Taylor swift alone and schedule a neutering’; ‘It’s troubling that both Nick Cannon and Kanye West have publicly implied sex with Taylor Swift and her consent is not part of the conversation and no one has called them on it’;
‘nick cannon saying he wants to have his 13th child with taylor swift was NOT on my 2023 bingo card’; This Nick Cannon/Taylor Swift s**t is really really gross.’; To say he’d be open to having a CHILD. Bro, she didn’t even say she wanted one, let alone with you. The f**k?
‘“He’s open to having his 13th child with Taylor Swift” As if he is the only person with a say in the matter and as if she is available to him.’; ‘Nick Cannon is beyond gross’; ‘Idc if Nick Cannon was joking about he say about Taylor Swift, the fact he only see women as objects to bear his children is very weird behavior [sic].’
Cannon shares 11-year-old fraternal twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey, who he was married to from 2008 to 2014.
He shares son Golden Sagon, 6, daughter Powerful Queen, 2, and son Rise Messiah, 6 months, with Brittany Bell.
He also shares twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, 21 months, and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin, 4 months, with Abby de la Rosa.
Cannon also shares son Legendary Love, 9 months, with Bre Tiesi, daughter Onyx Ice, 6 months, with LaNisha Cole and daughter Halo Marie, 3 months, with Alyssa Scott.
His son Zen with Alyssa Scott, Zen, passed away in December 2021 at just five months of age from a brain tumor.
