Nick Cannon & Rip Micheals discuss the evolution and continued success of “Wild ’N Out,” including its expansion into live shows and new platforms.
The 45-year-old entertainer revealed on the TMZ Podcast that he’s fine with his 15-year-old son Moroccan dating, but his daughter Monroe is completely locked down from the dating world. When asked if he’s applying the same rules to both kids, Cannon didn’t dance around it. “It’s absolutely a double standard,” he said straight up. His reasoning came down to protection and fear. Cannon explained that parenting sons and daughters requires completely different approaches because there are “certain types of individuals” he wants to keep his daughter away from. For his son, the concerns are totally different. Cannon isn’t worried about Moroccan getting played or manipulated because, as he put it, “he’s got a lot of money. His mama’s Mariah Carey.”
Cannon mentioned having a “deal” with Monroe where she can date if she can explain what’ll happen on those dates, but that’s still a gate he’s not putting on Moroccan. He’s got 12 kids with six different women and has publicly stated he’s open to having more children in the future. That history might actually explain his protective stance toward Monroe.
