In a classic display of unfiltered hip-hop banter, 50 Cent has thrown shade at Nick Cannon for having a whopping 12 children. The rap icon didn’t hold back, expressing his bewilderment at Cannon’s extensive family and humorously admitting that he couldn’t fathom having that many kids all under one roof.

Speaking candidly during an interview with Forbes’ Brian J. Roberts, 50 Cent delved into the topic with his signature wit. He reflected on his own choice to purchase a large mansion, revealing how he realized that even in a spacious abode, he occupied no more room than he would have in a smaller dwelling. Drawing a parallel, he mused that Cannon and his multitude of offspring would probably appreciate the extra space.

With a mischievous grin, 50 Cent playfully quipped,

“If I had Nick Cannon’s 12 kids or shit like that, you could put them all in a bedroom. Everybody’s here,” 50 joked. “But I’m not going to have kids like that. I don’t want the responsibility of that many women that you got to deal with emotionally, especially after they don’t feel like your friend anymore.”

Chuckling, he candidly added, “I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with Nick Cannon,” and quickly corrected himself, saying that the “old 50 Cent” slipped out and he is now the “new” version of himself.

This isn’t the first time 50 Cent and Cannon have traded jabs. The two have a longstanding history of lighthearted banter, with Cannon recently poking fun at 50 Cent’s physical appearance. Addressing the rapper’s weight gain.

Despite the ongoing jesting, 50 Cent once revealed on The Breakfast Club in 2020 that he never felt the need to respond to Cannon’s playful taunts. He humorously labeled Cannon as “legendary corny,” tracing his quirky demeanor back to the beginning of their interactions. At one point, 50 Cent hoped that Cannon’s comedic approach might evolve, but he saw it never quite reaching its desired destination.

As for Nick Cannon’s expansive family, the hip-hop figure is currently a father to 12 children from six different women. Impressively, nine of these children were born between 2020 and 2023.
