NEWS'Absolutely Insane': Nick Cannon Bashed for Planning a 'Meet and Greet' With All 11 of His Kids for Father's Day
Nick Cannon is under fire!
After the TV personality said he hoped to give all 11 of his kids the “opportunity to connect” with him on Father’s Day, he was roasted by fans for his choice of words.
Nick Cannon is a father-of-12.
“Why does this sound like he's gonna make them go on a reality competition and make them compete to hangout with their father,” one user penned, while another joked, “Is he doing a raffle?”
Others compared his remarks to meeting a celebrity, with one person saying, “A meet & greet with your own children is absolutely insane,” as a second added, “A press day for your own children is wild 😂.”
“‘Opportunity’ is a diabolical word to use in reference to allowing your kids to spend time with you,” one more individual echoed.
The backlash began after Cannon spoke with People about making time for all of his offspring on the holiday.
Nick Cannon sadly lost one of his children to brain cancer in 2021.
"It's definitely one of those days where I got to be on my Ps and Qs the entire day," Cannon shared. "It's supposed to be a day where I get to rest, but I want to give all my kids the opportunity to connect and give me gifts, and all that type of stuff. It's a fun day and I appreciate all the love that I get on that day."
