Nepotism is prevalent in Hollywood, but comedian Nick Cannon is making sure his children grow up to become something other than entertainers. Speaking to ET about the hot topic of “nepo-babies,” Cannon shared, “Out of all my kids, I’m like, if they want to be in entertainment, that’s fine, but that’s almost easy. I want you to do something that’s challenging, go outside of the box, so you can see effort and perseverance and those things because they’re a nepo baby. There’s advantages to a kid. You’re just like, ‘Oh, this is natural.'”
In his same interview, Cannon explained that he’d love his children to play sports because that would teach them important values like teamwork and help develop physical skills. “That’s why I love … to see my kids try sports because it has nothing to do with anything. It literally is however much work you put in, how hard you go, that’s how you’ll succeed in that space,” Cannon shared, adding, “I hope I can be that dad on the sidelines somewhere rooting for them. But again, if they want to be accountants or equestrians, I don’t care.”

With twelve children to care for (as of this writing) and not entirely saying no to welcoming more in the future, Cannon can pretty much start a sports team of his own.
