Nick Cannon may want to mask this blunder.

When asked if he could list all 12 of his kids by name, the Masked Singer host realized he couldn’t freestyle his way out of forgetting a couple of them.

“I usually get in trouble. I know all of them, but like…” Nick said on the June 19 episode of Bobbi Althoff’s The Really Good Podcast. “Here we go. I’ll lay them all out for you."

The Wild ‘N Out star then proceeded to name 10 of his children, including twins Moroccan and Monroe, 14, who he shares with ex Mariah Carey; Golden, 8, Powerful, 4, and Rise, 2, with ex Brittany Bell; twins Zion and Zillion, 4, with ex Abby De La Rosa; Legendary, 2, with ex Bre Tiesi; Onyx, 2, with ex LaNisha Cole; and the late Zen, who died in 2021 at 5 months old from brain cancer, whom he shared with ex Alyssa Scott.

However, the 44-year-old fell short of all 12, admitting, “I’m missing two.”

Indeed, Nick left out his two youngest kids—daughter Beautiful, 2, who he shares with Abby and daughter Halo, 2, who he shares with Alyssa.

As for why the musician has fathered so many kids? He explained it’s because of how he views himself. 

“I have a king complex,” Nick admitted. “You know, Black men, we always be like, ‘What’s up king?’ I really think I’m the king."

Despite that self-perception, though, Nick shared, “I think I’m done having kids,” but confessed he can't definitively say because “I don’t know what God and the universe have in store for me.”

Following his mishap on the pod, Alyssa cryptically shared the clip of Nick’s forgetfulness to her Instagram Story. The next day, she reshared a quote that read in part, “To my daughter…I hope you stay loud,” possibly hinting at the Drumline star forgetting their child’s name.

The month before his omission of Halo’s name, Alyssa called Nick out, saying he hadn’t visited their daughter in over a month after he discussed his 12 kids in another viral podcast interview. 

And while Nick didn’t publicly respond to Alyssa’s allegations, he has been open about how difficult it is to spend meaningful time with all of his children, noting that it “works a lot better” to spend one-on-one time with them because he believes the "only person that would benefit from having everyone in the same space would probably be me."

"I feel like qualitative experiences are when I can give everyone their own individual experience," he told People in 2023. "I actually love stepping into their world. Going to their sports games or giving them their personal time for the holidays. So I have no problem with bouncing around."

Nick added, "I think as everyone probably gets older, and even as I slow down a little bit more, I'm sure everyone will start coming to me in one place."
