According to Nick, the costs of “everything from security to hair and makeup to jets” should also be included in the contract.The tv host said that when he and Carey began “building a partnership,” he understood why Mariah is one of the highest paid in showbiz.

Nick Cannon’s baby train won’t be stopping any time soon as the entertainer has revealed he’s expecting more children this year. The Wild N Out host is currently awaiting the arrival of his eighth child after announcing model Bre Tiesi was pregnant earlier this year. He has seven other children with five women; twins Moroccan and Monroe, 11, with ex-wife Mariah Carey, Golden ‘Sagon’, five, and one-year-old Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, and 11-month-old twins Zion and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa. His baby boy Zen with model Alyssa Scott died in December aged just five months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Over the weekend, Abby announced she was pregnant again and expecting another set of twins. She did not reveal the father’s identity but rumours are rife that they are Nick’s children, while he’s also believed to have another baby on the way. When asked if he’s expecting three more children, Nick, 41, said on Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast: ‘When you say “on the way…” what count are you at? Let’s just put it this way… the stork is on the way.’ He then laughed: ‘I don’t know, it could be… If you thought it was a lot of kids last year.’ Angela then predicted that his new bundles of joy would arrive by September or October, to which he quipped coyly: ‘Y’all are pretty good at math.’ The former America’s Got Talent presenter also explained how he sought counselling last year to get to the root of his rampant sex life, and attempted celibacy after his therapist said he ‘needed to chill out’.
