Trying to keep track of every one of Nick Cannon‘s 12 children is a difficult task for most — and apparently, it’s not particularly easy for Cannon himself.
During an appearance on The Really Good Podcast with host Bobbi Althoff, Cannon was asked to list out each of his 12 children’s names. The actor and host told Althoff “I usually get in trouble” when trying to name each of his kids, but proceeded to try his best.
“I’ll lay them all out for you, keep me honest. There’s ‘Roc, ‘Roe, Golden, Powerful, Rise, Onyx, Legendary, Zion, Zillion, Zen,” he said, before trailing off. “See this is where … How many [are left?]”

In the spirit of keeping him honest, Cannon named Moroccan and Monroe, the twins he had with Mariah Carey; Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell; Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole; Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Abby De La Rosa; and the late Zen with Alyssa Scott.
The only two kids Cannon missed in his list were his two latest children: Beautiful Zeppelin, who he had with De La Rosa; and Halo Marie, who he had with Scott.
Elsewhere on the podcast, Cannon explained to Althoff why he has so many children, with the Drumline star saying that he has what he calls a “king complex” when it comes to procreation. “You know, Black men, we always be like, ‘What’s up king?’ I really think I’m the king,” he said, before explaining to Althoff that kings of the past would have lots of children to “enlarge their territory.”
Watch a clip from Cannon’s interview below:
Lizzo is feeling “Good as Hell” these days, and she’s not shy about sharing how she’s lost weight. In a wide-ranging interview with podcaster Trisha Paytas on the Just Trish podcast episode that dropped Thursday (June 19), the star opened up about the various ways she’s tried to get in shape — including weight-loss drugs.
“Wooooooohoooooo! I feel like I worked really really hard, and was intentional with what I did with my body,” the singer said when Paytas asked her how she felt about her weight loss. “So when I get compliments … I really receive it. … I don’t take it any weird way because I tried to do this.”
When the podcaster noted that she thinks Ozempic would be the only way she herself could lose weight, Lizzo confirmed that she has tried the drug. “I’ve tried everything,” the four-time Grammy winner shared. “It’s just the science for me. Calories in vs. calories out. Ozempic works because you eat less food — it makes you feel full. So if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it’s the same!”

But ultimately, it wasn’t Ozempic — which is a diabetes medication used off-label to help with weight loss — that helped Lizzo lose weight. It was changing her diet. “What did it for me was … well, actually, was not being vegan, ’cause when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats,” she shared. “I was eating a lot of bread. I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full, but really I was consuming, like, 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.”
The star — who has been open about her weight-loss journey and has shared videos of herself working out and eating healthy — explained that she was vegetarian for about 10 years, and moved on to a vegan diet in 2020, before giving it up in 2023. “So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish, like, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn’t actually filling me up,” she shared.
Lizzo continued by noting that it was a trip to Japan that had her start to eat meat again. “I heard the Japanese diet is the healthiest diet in the world, so I was there and I was like, ‘I’m going to try the food here,’ and my body was so happy. My body was like, ‘More, more please!’”
While adding meat back to her diet helped Lizzo on her weight-loss journey, she emphasized that just because it worked for her, doesn’t mean it’ll work for everyone. “I don’t like to tell people too much about releasing weight, like what I did. I don’t want people to do what I did and it doesn’t work for them. Everybody’s body’s different!” she said. “I don’t know what your bloodwork is like. I don’t know how your body breaks down food, sugar. I don’t know. But I know for me, I just had to start eating meat again.”

Since blasting onto the scene with his breakthrough hit “Beautiful Things,” Benson Boone has become the internet’s favorite punching bag. But instead of trying to prove them wrong, the singer decided to lean in with his latest music video.

On Friday (June 20), Boone dropped the tongue-in-cheek music video for his new song “Mr. Electric Blue,” off his just-released LP American Heart. From the start of the clip, Boone goes out of his way to play with all the worst things the internet has to say about him when he walks into “Industry Plant Records” wearing a t-shirt that simply says “one hit wonder” for a frank conversation with his sleazy agent (played by his frequent songwriting collaborator Jack LaFrantz).
“Have you not been on the internet? Everything is terrible, Benson! We put all of our money into ‘moonbeam ice cream’ and the backflip, and it’s done absolutely horrible,” LaFrantz’s character tells an exasperated Boone. He informs the singer that he owes his faux label $10 million, and suggests that he find “a new gimmick” like “good songwriting.” At the suggestion, Boone deflates: “You know I can’t do that.”

What ensues is a madcap montage, where Boone takes as many odd jobs as he can to raise the money. He walks dogs (while wearing another T-shirt that says “”), mows lawns (for a company called “Auto-Tune Trimmers”), washes cars (with bumper stickers declaring “mustaches are lame”) sells his sparkly jumpsuits and even opens a moonbeam ice cream truck. Of course, that still doesn’t stop the criticism from coming — when he’s recognized by a little girl as “the guy who sings ‘Beautiful Things,’” she quickly humbles him: “Your music is terrible.”
For his hustling and hard work, Boone makes a grand total of $168, but begs LaFrantz’s agent to give him another chance. But his agent assures him that he found a better solution, saying he “sold your entire catalog to retail chains, fast food chains and movie theaters,” promising that “you’ll be the most overplayed artist in the world, and I’ll be rich.” A dejected Boone sighs and smiles, saying “that’s all I’ve ever wanted,” before celebrating his ubiquity.
It’s far from the first time Boone has commented on the way people perceive him. The singer posted a TikTok back in April, explaining that he could understand people not liking him or his music if there were more people offering concrete reasons for their distaste. “I just read a comment that said ‘idek why I hate Benson Boone but it feels right,’” he wrote on the video. “Like WHAT!!? how am I supposed to improve after reading that? At least say something valid like ‘he low key just flips everywhere can he [do] anything else?’”
