Nick Cannon has responded to the jibe Jimmy Kimmel made about him and his ever-growing brood during this year’s Oscars.

As you’re most likely aware, the 95th Academy Awards took place this weekend and comedian and TV personality Kimmel opened up the ceremony. You can see the joke here:

Among the numerous gags he made to his star-studded audience was one about Cannon and his 12 kids.

Making a joke about the cost of Avatar: The Way of Water, Kimmel said: “Disney spent $2 billion on this movie, and just to break even, all of Nick Cannon’s kids had to see Avatar four times.”

And it seems as though mega-dad Cannon thought it was pretty funny.

When asked what he thought about Kimmel’s joke, he replied: “It’s hilarious.

“I created Wild ‘n Out. I can hear jokes all day long.”

For those struggling to keep up, Cannon became a dad for the 12th time late last year to a daughter named Halo with Alyssa Scott.

Scott and Cannon also had a baby boy named Zen back in 2021, who tragically died at just five months old following a devastating brain cancer diagnosis.

A month prior to Halo’s birth, Cannon welcomed baby number 11 - a daughter named Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon - with Abby De La Rose.

Cannon is also dad to Zion and Zillion with De La Rose; he has Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah, with model Brittany Bell.

And he shares twins Monroe and Moroccan with Mariah Carey; as well as Legendary Love, whose mum is Bre Tiesi and Onyx Ice Cole with model LaNisha Cole.

Father’s day must be fun round the Cannon household, eh?

However, it seems Cannon is not quite content with being a dad to ‘just’ 12 and is set to star in a new 'gameshow' where women compete to have his baby.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Cannon will pick from a collection of hopeful gals who are all vying to be his next babymomma.

In a trailer for the show Cannon gets ready to see the prospective mother of his future child while sitting in the 'hot seat'.

Hart tells him: "You're gonna get some contestants that wanna have your baby."

Cannon then cracks a joke about his selection process: "Eeny, meeny, miny, [moe]."

Don't worry though, as a rep for E! confirmed the whole thing is a joke and part of a skit he and Kevin Hart are working on for Celebrity Prank Wars.
