Now, whether Mercury retrograde had something to do with this bold, if borderline bizarre, move or if it’s just classic Nick being Nick, it’s definitely got people talking. But while he’s out here making headlines about his balls (literally), his baby mama Alyssa Scott isn’t exactly laughing along. She fired back on social media, calling him out for ghosting their daughter Halo Marie—whom they welcomed after the heartbreaking loss of their son Zen. With emotions running hotter than a July scorpio sun and fans split between chuckles and shade, this family drama is a mash-up of heartfelt and downright wild. Curious about how this played out and what Nick had to say?

The Shade Room, whose video Scott reposted, also shared her Instagram Stories post on the social media platform, and fans took turns sharing their thoughts about her decision to call Cannon out.
Most fans felt she had no reason to be mad at Cannon, as he has so many kids with different women that it would be hard for him to keep up.
One fan said, “A month ain’t bad when you got 200 kids.”
Another fan opined, “He has a child for each month of the year. Your child’s month is probably June relax.”
A third person asked Scott, “What did you think was gonna happen when you had a baby with a man who has 37 other baby mamas?”
Meanwhile, a fourth person advised her, “Girl give him time. You know you gotta wait in line.”

Although Scott claimed Cannon hadn’t seen Halo for over a month, he has always been involved in his kids’ lives and lightened up while speaking about them during his podcast appearance.
When the podcast hosts Raven-Symoné and Miranda Maday asked Cannon if he was done having kids, he hesitated before going on to say, “I love the baby stage. Baby to toddler. So fun. Because three-year-olds, those are the three-nagers. They think they know everything.”
The proud dad described his oldest kids, Monroe and Moroccan, as his “homies,” adding, “We hang out, went to the movies this weekend and Raising Canes. I’m just the guy with the license.” He also revealed that his pre-teens nicknamed him “Cringe Cannon.”
Cannon later shared that he is open to his kids being involved in the entertainment industry but stressed that they had a different situation than someone new to the scene.
He explained, “As the father, I kinda know, I’ve been here, so I’m never gonna let an agent take advantage of you. I’m never gonna allow you to be on set by yourself, like, because this is my world. There is nepotism that’s gonna take place that, like, this is the family business.”
