Nick Cannon is letting us into his family group chat – kind of.
The "Wild n' Out" star appeared on Maury Povich's podcast, released Monday, Nov. 9, and offered insight into his family's dynamic.
Cannon, 46, played Povich's "On Par or Off the Rails" game, where he was asked to respond to a hypothetical scenario of putting the mothers of all his children in a group chat to coordinate Thanksgiving plans.
"Tried it. Off the rails," Cannon responded. "Too wild for TV."
The entertainer has been candid about fathering 12 children with six women. He has twins Moroccan and Monroe with his ex-wife Mariah Carey; two sons, Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah, and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion and Zillion and daughter Beautiful with Abby De
La Rosa; daughter Onyx with LaNisha Cole; and son Legendary with Bre Tiesi.
Cannon is also a father to daughter, Halo, and son, Zen, who died at five months old in December 2021 following a brain cancer diagnosis, whom he shares with Alyssa Scott.
Cannon gives a teaser of upcoming Netflix docuseries

During the segment, Povich asked if all the women get along. Cannon said they are "civil." "Everyone has their own life," he continued, "Putting them all on a group chat together? Not the best idea."
Cannon is gearing up for his upcoming Netflix docuseries where he will give viewers "an intimate look at his wildly unconventional life." It premieres in December.
"As you'll see in my docuseries, each relationship is very different," Cannon teased. "Bre is on there, Abby; you'll even see Mariah on there. It's my life in totality."
