Nick Cannon, the multifaceted entertainer and father of 12 children with six different women, has hilariously responded to Vice President Kamala Harris' recent proposal of a $6,000 tax credit for newborns.
The 43-year-old actor and television host took to Instagram to share a meme that quickly went viral. The meme featured a post from X, formerly Twitter, that announced Harris' proposed tax credit.
Above the announcement was a photo of Cannon, implying that the news would be particularly beneficial for him given his large family.
In typical Cannon fashion, he captioned the post with, "Leave me out of this!"—a light-hearted acknowledgment of the jokes that have followed him throughout his journey as a father.
Fans and followers flooded the comments with their own quips, with one joking, "Nah, you kinda set yourself up for this … they gotta call it the 'Cannon Credit' now."
Another chimed in, "You know you about to collect that check, Nick," while a third added, "No YOU leave you out of this."
The playful banter didn't stop there, as others humorously questioned whether there would be a cap on the tax credit for people like Cannon, who has often been the subject of memes and jokes due to his large family.
Though Cannon isn't currently expecting any more children, he's never ruled out the possibility of expanding his brood in the future.
In a recent collaboration with Dr. Squatch, a men's personal care company, Cannon evaluated his "family jewels" as part of a promotional campaign.
The brand even went as far as insuring Cannon's assets, underscoring his reputation for fathering many children. "Shout out to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!" Cannon joked at the time.
Despite the challenges that come with raising 12 children, Cannon has embraced fatherhood wholeheartedly.
In a January interview with People, he admitted, "My entire life is challenging. I don't live a normal existence, but I embrace it. I love challenges."
When asked about what he finds most rewarding about being a dad, Cannon revealed that it's hearing his children say, "I love you, Daddy."
Although he insists that he's "chilling right now" and has no immediate plans to have more kids, Cannon humorously noted, "It's so funny, everybody's always trying to get me to have more kids. It's like, 12 ain't enough?"
