Nick Cannon has revealed he doesn't pay child support to any of his baby momas.
The TV presenter, 42, is a dad of 12, sharing 11-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with Mariah Carey.
He is also dad to Rise, 5 months, Powerful, 2, and Golden, 6, with Brittany Bell; Beautiful, 3 months, and Zion and Zillion, both 1, with Abby De La Rosa; Halo, 2 months, and the late Zen with Alyssa Scott; Legendary, 7 months, with Bre Tiesi; Onyx, 5 months, with LaNisha Cole.
However, he insists none of the mums receive a monthly pay cheque from him and instead they just need to ask him if they need anything.
Nick made the confession to The Home Morning Show with Shorty Da Prince, Brittish Williams and Andrew Caldwell.

He told the radio presenters: "I'm not on the government," which prompted a co-host to joke: "That's how you know he really got it together."
It came about after the hosts asked Nick about what hefty sum he must have to pay out having so many children to different women.
Nick Cannon is a father of 12 but doesn't pay any monthly child support paymentsAfter initially offering up a jokey response, Nick turned serious and said: "But to your point, to answer it in a very serious way, it ain't even about a monthly allowance or amount of money, because I don't give myself that.
"What they need, they get. There's never been something that one of the mothers of my children has asked for and they didn't receive."
And he joked he has been nicknamed "the provider" by the women as whatever they need, they get.
He went on to praise the ladies for putting up with him, revealing the levels of respect and admiration that he holds for each one of them.
"Everybody has their challenges - but when you really understand this woman has given the greatest sacrifice, and sacrificed her body to bring a child into this world, that’s the best gift any man could ask for," he gushed.
Nick says he's called 'the provider' as he gives the mums whatever they need"Regardless of what goes on in any scenario, I’m gonna always show love and respect. I’ll never say anything disrespectful or bad about any of the mothers of my children."
If Nick had it his way, he would have had more children. He recently confessed his regret at not fathering a child with ex Christina Milian.
He revealed the pair had discussed the idea of children, but said they were "kids in love, early on".
