Wild N’ Out host Nick Cannon set the record straight after The Sun, according to Cannon, falsely reported that he pays $3 million annually in child support. The report came after he and Abby De La Rosa welcomed their third baby (Cannon’s twelfth), Zeppelin Cannon, on Nov. 11., Sis2Sis reported.

“I spend more than that on my children annually,” he told The Neighborhood Talk. “Don’t plan on participating in the governmental system.”
The Sun’s legal expert Goldie Schon estimated that he paid 34-year-old Brittany Bell, mother of Cannon’s 5-year-old Golden, 1-year-old Powerful Queen, and yet-to-be-born baby, a total of $80,000 in child support. She said that De La Rosa, the mother of his 1-year-old twins Zion and Zillion and newborn Zepplin, could be getting close to a million a year. Schon estimated that Bre Tiesi and LaNisha Cole earned around $40,000 in monthly payments.
“When you have somebody like Nick Cannon, who’s an extremely high-income earner, the courts in California have the right to deviate from the typical child support guidelines,” Goldie Schon said. “If he is taking home somewhere upward of $5 million a year, you have to look at what it would take to have the children kept in the lifestyle of both parents. Dad is clearly a public figure and makes a substantial income. The lifestyle has to be the same with mom as it is with dad.”
She added, “Having children is a great way of maintaining your lifestyle; I mean—it’s nice work if you can get it.”
After Zeppelin was born, Cannon posted a photo of him and De La Rosa holding their newborn.

“A BEAUTIFUL DAY for “BEAUTIFUL ZEPPELIN CANNON” to arrive! Mommy @hiabbydelarosa, I love you! You make it ALL look so easy and effortless, but I am forever indebted to your tireless work of constant dedication, diligent effort and selfless love that you give to our children and myself. Beautiful is privileged to have such a Loving and Spiritually inclined Mother,” the Drumline actor wrote. “Your resilience and strength doesn’t go unnoticed. Watching you smile through the world’s madness and my constant craziness is so impressive.”
Cannon is also getting ready to welcome his and Alyssa Scott’s new baby, a year after the death of their 5-month-son, Zen.

Cannon posted a photo that someone made, poking fun at the fact that he populates quickly. The image had text that read, “National Geographic determined what Americans will look like in 2050, and it’s beautiful.”
Nick wrote in the caption, “Wow! Everybody got jokes!”
