Nick Cannon joined in on the fun by sharing a meme on his Instagram that highlighted a post from X (formerly Twitter) announcing Harris’ plan. The meme featured a photo of Cannon with the caption suggesting the credit would be a windfall for him.

Cannon playfully captioned his post, "Leave me out of this!" showing he could take the jokes in stride.



 

Nick Cannon’s Instagram post about Kamala Harris' proposed $6,000 newborn tax credit quickly became a magnet for playful comments from fans, who couldn't resist teasing him about his ever-growing family.

One fan quipped, "If you got so many kids you get the bigger tax credits," while another joked, "Bro could field a baseball team he got so many kids."



 



 

The humor continued with another user writing, "Sir, you are the procreation prince! Every childbearing discourse will involve you," while the other user wrote, "Nick Cannon got like 14 kids with 14 different baby mamas."



 



 



 

Another commenter pointed out, "He’s gonna be making an income off of it," referring to the potential financial benefits Cannon might enjoy from the proposed tax credit, given his large family. The jokes kept coming, as fans found a way to connect the news to Cannon’s prolific fatherhood in a light-hearted way.

While Nick Cannon isn’t currently believed to be expecting any more children, he hasn’t entirely ruled out expanding his family. In June, he teamed up with Dr Squatch, a men's personal care company, to humorously evaluate his testicles using their Ball Valuation Tool.

Nick Cannon recently opened up about his feelings for his ex-wife, Mariah Carey, expressing a desire to rekindle their romance, even though he humorously acknowledged that Carey might not be interested.

In an interview with E! News, Cannon joked that it would be "stupid" not to consider getting back together, saying, "We belong together." However, he admitted with a laugh, "She don’t want me."

During the conversation, Cannon's co-host from 'We Playin’ Spades,' Courtney Bee, playfully reminded him that he now has ten children with other women, making a reunion unlikely. Cannon, who shares 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with Carey, reflected on his role as a father, emphasizing the importance of keeping peace among the mothers of his children, who he said all get along surprisingly well.

Cannon also shared that Carey has no issues with his expanding family, as long as it doesn't affect her own life.
