Nick Cannon gave a tour of his massive New Jersey home, with his and Mariah Carey’s twins, Moroccan and Monroe.
The actor posted a 30-minute YouTube video, in which he and his two 13-year-olds tour his estate, showing off his ball pit, slide, and crazy collectibles, including a Louis Vuitton Iron Man helmet and Martin Luther King Jr. Bearbrick.
“I put this slide in before I even had kids,” Cannon, who has 12 kids, says. “This was for me. I got tired of walking down the steps and going to the kitchen or going to the living room, so I said I want to be able to slide into a ball pit at the front of my house.”
At one point, Cannon and his daughter, Monroe walk by a guitar. “I’m teaching my daughter how to play guitar," which prompts her to say, “I already know.” Cannon then explains that Monroe “plays guitar in her mom’s show," meaning Carey’s Christmas Time Tour.
While Monroe had been accompanying her father during the tour, Cannon later explained that he was on his own “because my kids actually have to be onstage with their mom, and I'm going to get in trouble if they're late for the show."
Cannon also shared a story about his Louis Vuitton Iron Man helmet, related to his own diagnosis with Lupus.
“I’m a huge Iron Man fan because Iron Man almost lost his life, and when he got down to the bottom, and they thought it was over, that's when his superhero activated,” he said, before relating his chronic autoimmune disease that has no cure. “I connected with that because of my lupus, so when I got lupus, I was like, ‘That's my superpower.’ ”
The 44-year-old and Carey split in 2016 after being married for eight years. He shares his remaining 10 kids with five other women.
