Posted by Nick Cannon has set the record straight on allegations that he pays $3 million a year in child support payments amid his ever-growing offspring.
According to HotNewHipHop, a rumor surfaced that Cannon’s payments to support his brood was somewhere around the $3 million mark. Although he did not disclose specifics about his financial arrangements with his various partners, The Wild ‘n Out creator claims he dishes out even “more than that.”
Addressing the accusations, Cannon reportedly responded with a statement to The Neighborhood Talk.
According to the outlet, Cannon said in a statement: “I definitely spend a lot more than that on my children annually. I don’t plan to ever have to participate in the government system of a child.”
Cannon has never been shy about his plan to grow his family and his love of fatherhood. In an interview with PEOPLE earlier this year, the mogul expressed his enthusiasm about his expanding family.
“I’m so excited about all my kids,” he said. “Constantly, from every aspect of it. From them getting citizen of the month awards in the first grade to the birth of the new ones. Every day I just wake up excited as a father.”
