Nick Cannon is thrilled to be expecting his 10th child, but Vivica A. Fox is seeing things over his parenting style.
In an episode of the FoxSoul show, “Cocktails with Queens,” the “Black-ish” actress slams Cannon for the example he is setting, especially within the Black community.
“I don’t like it. Y’all can be like, ‘It’s cause he got money, this, that, and a third,'” Fox said. “But the foundation of Black families, especially, a strong father figure is needed. This isn’t a good representation of it, in my opinion.”
In the episode, Claudia Jordan, LisaRaye McCoy, Syleena Johnson and Fox discuss news headlines and were quick to offer commentary on Cannon fathering yet another baby.
