Nick Cannon is trying to remain celibate until 2022

Nick Cannon has gone from “Wild’N Out” to pulling out.

The father of seven, 40, confirmed that he has gone celibate on the advice of his therapist after welcoming four children with three different women in under a year.

“I told you, man, I’m celibate right now,” Cannon told hosts DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. during his “Drink Champs” interview on Friday. “I’m going to see if I could make it to 2022.”

When both hosts suggested he was “not really, kind of” celibate Cannon quickly interjected to shut down any suggestion he wasn’t following his decision to go dry.

“Nah y’all said I ain’t really. I’m saying I’m going in,” the former talk show host said.

In June, Cannon welcomed twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa, as well as son Zen with model Alyssa Scott. His daughter Powerful Queen was born just six months earlier in Dec. 2020 with his ex, Brittany Bell, whom he also shares 4-year-old son Golden with.

Cannon claims that all of his children were intentionally conceived, telling Power 106 radio in July that he “don’t have no accident[s].”

The talk show host revealed in September that his therapist suggested he take a break from having sex and more children.

“My therapist said I should be celibate,” the former stand up comedian told Entertainment Tonight at the time, adding, “I’m [gonna] take a break from having kids.”
