Nick Cannon has sparked controversy by joking about impregnating WWE star Bianca Belair.
The father-of-12 stunned viewers with the quip during an episode of his comedy rap battle show, Wild ‘N Out.
During a spoof of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, the actor and TV host made the jest in front of Bianca and her surprised husband Montez Ford.
While rapping, Nick said: ‘There’s a couple of guys who were up to no good, they starting making trouble in my neighbourhood. I get in one little fight, my mum got scared…’ He then continued to grind up against Bianca and added: ‘Because I wanted to impregnate Bianca Belair.’
Although Bianca and Montez laughed it off, the joke sparked shock among viewers, leading to tweets like: ‘Nick Cannon is pure garbage’; ‘I know my ears deceive me ain’t no way nick cannon said he wanted to get Bianca pregnant @BiancaBelairWWE that’s a threat girl contact the authorities’; ‘Nick cannon saying he wanted to impregnate Bianca is weird on like every level?? Like what even possesses your brain to even wanna say something like that’; ‘Not Nick Cannon saying he wanted to impregnate Bianca’; ‘Did Nick Cannon actually say he wants to get Bianca pregnant?’ [sic]
The controversial joke comes a month after Nick made a similar comment about wanting Taylor Swift to be the mother of his 13th child.
During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show last month, Nick, who has 12 children with six different women, was asked which celebrities he would father a child with.
His children include 11-year-old fraternal twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey, son Golden Sagon, daughter Powerful Queen, and son Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell. He is also a father to twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby de la Rosa. Additionally, he shares a son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi, daughter Onyx Ice with LaNisha Cole, and daughter Halo Marie with Alyssa Scott. Sadly, his son Zen with Alyssa Scott passed away in December 2021 at just five months of age from a brain tumor.
