Nick Cannon welcomes his ninth child, weeks after announcing he is expecting a baby with another woman

• Nick Cannon announced that his ninth child was born on Wednesday.

• It is his first child with Lanisha Cole and her name is Onyx Ice Cole Cannon.

• This comes weeks after announcing he is expecting another child with Brittany Bell.

Nick Cannon announced the birth of his ninth child, his first with model Lanisha Cole.

While in the past Cannon has announced that he is expecting children before they were born, he shared no news about his child with Cole until after she gave birth to his ninth child, Onyx Ice Cole Cannon.

Cannon shared the news on Instagram with a picture of himself, Onyx, and Cole, with his song "I Do" playing in the background.

"Introducing ONYX ICE COLE CANNON… Once again Today I am in Awe of the Devine Feminine! God has given me and @MissLanishaCole the privilege of hosting an Angel here on earth," Cannon captioned the post. "I vow to protect, provide, guide and love this child to the best of my abilities."

He added in the caption: "As we all know I am not easily triggered and have quite tough skin and have always been an open book but not everyone in my family has that same level of strength. So I pray and ask others to please project all criticism and cynicism towards ME and not the loving and precious Mothers of my children."

Cannon ended the caption by asking fans to pray for him and his entire family.

Cole also shared videos of her baby shower and Cannon with his newborn daughter on her own Instagram.

"The joy that I feel as a mother is something that has forever opened up my heart in a huge new way. She's surrounded by so much love and I'm already obsessed with her!" the model said in an Instagram Story.

Cannon has had nine children with six women, most of whom arrived in the past two years.

He has 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with Mariah Carey; a five-year-old son, Golden, and a one-year-old daughter, Powerful Queen, with Brittany Bell; one-year-old twins, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, with Abby De La Rosa; and a six-week-old son, Legendary Love, with Bre Tiesi.

Cannon also had a son, Zen, with Alyssa Scott, who died in 2021 from brain cancer at the age of five months.

Last month, Cannon shared the news that he is expecting another child with Bell with a video of the couple posing together for a photoshoot.

Over the last year, Nick Cannon discussed going celibate or getting a vasectomy to stop having more kids.

However, in June, Cannon revealed on the "Lip Service" podcast that he broke the vow of celibacy he made last year after Zen died. He said that he had more children on the way, but did not say exactly how many.

"I didn't even make it to January," he said. "I was supposed to make it to the top of the year. Then obviously I started going through some stuff. I got depressed with the loss of my son. So in December, everybody saw I was so down. So everybody was like, 'Let's just give him a little vagina, and that's gonna cure it all.'"

Cannon continued: "I fell victim to it 'cause I was in a weak state. So December, especially right before Christmas, I started fucking like crazy."
