50 Cent is speaking his mind about Nick Cannon’s children.
The topic came up during an interview with journalist Brian J. Roberts held last month at Houston’s Toyota Center. The rapper, dressed in a blue suit, discussed his “unnecessary” lavish lifestyle habits and admitted that he regretted buying his Farmington, Connecticut mansion back in 2003. He recalled looking around the 50+ room, 50,000 square foot estate, wondering why he purchased it, as he only occupies one bedroom.
“If I had Nick Cannon’s 12 kids or s— like that, you could put them all in a bedroom. Everybody’s here,” the 48-year-old joked to Roberts for the one-on-one chat in the empty arena. “But I’m not going to have kids like that. I don’t want the responsibility of that many women that you got to deal with emotionally, especially after they don’t feel like your friend anymore.”
“I don’t know what the f— is wrong with Nick Cannon,” he added to Roberts.
