Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey’s daughter spoke about her other siblings, and you’ve probably forgotten how many there are.
A decade ago, Cannon was known for his music career, starring in films and his role in a long-running TV show all across the US.
But now, Nick Cannon may best be known for the number of children he has fathered.
However just days ago, his first daughter 14-year-old Monroe, took to Instagram to reveal her feelings towards her siblings.

In an Instagram story on November 13, she wrote online: “Clearing something up guys.
“I only have ONE brother who is Moroccan Cannon. I do have other half siblings from my dad but they are all many, many years younger than me.”
Monroe and Moroccan are Cannon’s first children (twins) that were born in April 2011 that he shares with his ex, Mariah Carey.
Cannon and Carey met in 2008 when she cast him as her love interest in her ‘Bye Bye’ music video and the pair married a month later, before they’d even revealed their romance to the world.
“We really do feel we are soulmates,” Carey told People after confirming the wedding. “I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me.”
Sadly, Cannon confirmed their split in a December 2014 interview, stating: “We’ll forever be family. We’re there for our children, and are making them the number one priority.”
Monroe’s comments about her siblings ended up sparking interest around whether half siblings are true siblings or not.
So, let’s get acquainted with them all.
In the last 14 years, Cannon has gone on to father 12 children by six women, including Carey.
The other mothers of his children are Brittany Bell, Alyssa Scott, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi and LaNisha Cole.
He and Bell had Golden in 2017, Powerful in 2020, and Rise in 2022.
De La Rosa gave birth to twins Zion and Zillion in 2021 before having their daughter, Beautiful in 2022.
Also all born in 2022 are Legendary Love, the son he had with Tiesi, Onyx with Cole, and Halo with Scott.
Sadly, Cannon’s son with Scott, Zen, who was born in 2021 passed away five months later in December to cancer.
"It sounded like he had fluid in his lungs, like a sinus infection or something," Cannon, told PEOPLE. "[The doctors] didn't think it to be anything too concerning."
"We started asking, 'Is there a way to prevent this? If not, how long do we have?' " Cannon recalled. "The conversations quickly turned to, 'How can we give him the best life for the time that he does have?' It could be weeks, it could be months, it could be years."
"We were having quality-of-life conversations," he added. "We could have had that existence where he would've had to live in the hospital, hooked up to machines, for the rest of the time. From someone who's had to deal with chemotherapy before, I know that pain. To see that happen to a 2-month-old, I didn't want that. I didn't want him to suffer."
In the end, the parents spent their last moments with him on a beach to watch the sun.
Cannon announced his death two days later on December 7.
"We had a short time with a true angel," Cannon told the outlet. "My heart is shattered. I wish I could have done more, spent more time with him, taken more pictures. I wish I could have hugged him longer."
