Alyssa Scott is calling out Nick Cannon for allegedly not seeing their 2-year-old daughter for “over a month.”
On the Thursday, May 1 episode of the Tea Time with Raven & Miranda podcast, the father of 12 opened up to hosts Raven-Symoné and her wife Miranda Maday about his decision to take out a pricey insurance policy on his testicles in 2024 for $10 million. Shortly after the clip went viral, the 31-year-old model slammed the Wild N’ Out creator, reposting it onto her Instagram Story and alleging he hasn’t seen their daughter Halo, 2, in “over a month.”
“Ha ha haaa Funny. Any plans on seeing your child? It’s been over a month @nickcannon,” she wrote underneath the now-viral clip from the podcast. “But good to know she’ll get some of your $ if anything happens to your balls smh.”
A rep for Cannon, 44, didn’t immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

In addition to Halo, Cannon is a father to 11 other children with five other women. He shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey; sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah Cannon and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole. With Scott, Cannon is also father to son Zen, who died at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
While having more kids doesn’t seem to be totally off the table for Cannon, he told PEOPLE in March 2025 that “pressing hold” on having another baby for now. The Drumline star explained that while he’s “not against it,” he won’t be welcoming any little ones any time soon because of “the way my bank account is set up.”
“I really don’t know. I’m being honest. I’m having so much fun in this space right now, and the way my bank account is set up, I’m going to press hold on this 12 for right now,” he told PEOPLE. “But. I was just speaking of three years from now [or] five years from now, who knows? I’m not against it.”
“There was a point in time where I was just like, ‘Nah, I’m done.’ And, then I was like, ‘Who am I to say that?’ ” he added. “It seemed like it was such an emphatic thing. I never imagined that I would have 12 kids. So, it’s one of those things where I love children. I love my life, and if it could keep going in the direction that it’s going, why not?”

While Cannon loves his big family, he’s opened up about the challenges of being a father of multiple children.
“Being a father of multiple kids, it’s always the biggest guilt on me is that I don’t get to spend enough time with all my children,” Cannon said during a December 2022 episode of The Checkup with Dr. Agus on Paramount+. “One ’cause I’m constantly working and two because I’m just spread thin.”
In June 2024, Cannon told PEOPLE during an exclusive interview that he’s excited to bond with all of his kids during Father’s Day.
“It’s definitely one of those days where I got be on my Ps and Qs the entire day,” Cannon admitted. “It’s supposed to be a day where I get to rest, but I want to give all my kids the opportunity to connect and give me gifts, and all that type of stuff.”
He continued, “It’s a fun day and I appreciate all the love that I get on that day.”
