{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}In recent years, Nick Cannon's paternity has become a prevalent headline and often the butt of pop-culture jokes, with the musician having 12 kids from six different women, all under the age of 11.
But fatherhood for Cannon is something he takes seriously.
"Everybody thinks it's time management. It's energy management," he told Entertainment Tonight of how he manages being a father to a dozen kids.

Although his plans to extend his family are with God, Cannon admits "I've got my hands full and I'm so focused and I'm locked in," before adding, "You know what, when I'm 85, you never know. I might."
At 42, Cannon has been transparent about the financial responsibilities of being a parent to so many children.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Last year a report from The Sun claimed that Cannon "nearly paid $3 million a year in child support," however the musician and actor told The Neighborhood Talk that the actual number is much larger.
"I definitely spend a lot more than that on my children annually," he said.
