Nick Cannon’s Unusual Lifestyle
During a radio interview, Nick Cannon opened up about his polyamorous lifestyle. Cannon is the father of seven children, four of which he welcomed in under a year. Cannon has seven children with four different women.
Cannon said that he doesn’t prescribe to the “eurocentric” institution of marriage. He explained, “That’s a Eurocentric concept … the idea that you’re supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life. The idea that a man should have one woman. We shouldn’t have anything. I have no ownership over this person.”
He continued, “Those women, and all women, are the ones that open themselves up and say, ‘I would like to allow this man into my world and I will birth this child.’ It ain’t my decision. I’m just following suit.”
He went on, “If we’re really talking about how we co-exist and how we populate, it’s about what exchange can we create together. I understand the institution of marriage, but if we go back to what that was about … [it] was to classify property.”
