Nick Cannon knows a vasectomy would be the “responsible” choice—but he’s not ready to take that step just yet. The 44-year-old comedian, who has 12 children with six different women, recently addressed the idea of stopping at a dozen after former NFL player Channing Crowder jokingly suggested he should “think about” getting the procedure.

“Feels like this is an intervention,” Nick quipped on the March 17 episode of his We Playin' Spades podcast. While he admitted a vasectomy would make sense, he quickly added, “I’m not done.”

When co-host Courtney Bee expressed disbelief at his desire for more children, Nick simply replied, “I leave it to the Lord.”

Despite the ongoing debate about his growing family, Nick isn’t too concerned—after all, he’s insured his manhood for a cool $10 million.

“That’s precious cargo,” he joked. “That’s why I said my work is not done.”

However, the Drumline star does have one regret about the policy.

“Should’ve been $12 million,” he told E! News last year. “One for each kid.”

For Nick, fatherhood has been an unexpected but welcomed journey.

“As much as I was open to every single child that I have, I can’t say the majority of them were planned,” he shared in a 2023 episode of The Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman.

Reflecting on his life over the past decade, he admitted he never saw this coming.

“If you would have told me in 2012, when I was still married and just diagnosed with lupus, that 10 years from now I’d have 12 children, I’d have said, ‘No way in the world.’”

Still, he believes it was meant to be.

“It all makes sense now,” Nick explained. And while he’s “deeply contemplated” getting a vasectomy, he just can’t bring himself to shut the door on what he calls “God’s miracles.”

As he put it: “The more, the merrier.”
