Life has finally caught up to Nick Cannon, the father to eleven children, as the musician and TV host landed himself in the hospital this weekend.
Taking to his Instagram, Cannon wrote, "Okay, so I guess I’m not Superman… I promised myself I would never be back at this place again… But this is a great lesson to take care of YOU or YOU won’t be able to take care of everyone else."
Cannon, 42, revealed he had been diagnosed with pneumonia, stating, "nothing I can't handle."
He shared photos from his hospital bed, where he wore a black face mask and was surrounded by medical equipment.

The father of eleven, who is expecting his 12th child, continued, "Don’t trip though, I don’t need any well wishes or prayers, just some solid rest and I will be back on the journey to becoming stronger than ever."
To jumpstart the month of December, Cannon, alongside GloRilla and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie performed at Madison Square Garden for the "Nick Cannon Presents: MTV Wild 'N Out Live" show.
