Mother of Nick Cannon's Ninth Child Says She Wants to Have 'One More'

Lanisha Cole, the mother of Nick Cannon's ninth child, has shared in an Instagram post that she wants to have "one more" baby.

Cannon, 42, whose growing brood with multiple women has long been a talking point, announced via Instagram on September 14 that he and model Cole, 40, had welcomed a girl named Onyx Ice Cole Cannon.

"Introducing ONYX ICE COLE CANNON," Cannon captioned a photo of his baby. "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. I vow to protect, provide, guide and love this child to the best of my abilities."

Nine days later, on September 23, Wild 'n Out host Cannon welcomed son Rise Messiah Cannon with former Miss Universe contestant Brittany Bell, 34, the pair's third child together and the TV personality's 10th overall.

Onyx and Rise's arrival marks a busy year for Cannon, who welcomed son Legendary Love in July with model Bre Tiesi, 31, and is expecting another baby with radio personality Abby De La Rosa, also 31.

In the weeks since Onyx's arrival, proud mother Cole has shared several photos of her offspring, which she also did on Sunday alongside a revealing caption.

"I need to have one more," former The Price Is Right model Cole wrote, alongside a series of emojis that included a baby's face and a red heart.

When announcing the birth of his Onyx last month, Cannon addressed those tempted to criticize his family, writing: "In this moment of celebration and jubilee, I wish to mute any low vibrational frequencies and only rejoice with the Highest Class of Civilization who are truly aligned with our purpose here in this dimension."

"We all learn so much from these Angels we call children," he went on. "I am learning that it is not the limited amount of time we have on this planet but it's the limited amount of love that is the issue. And I promise to love this little girl with all my heart, regardless what anyone says...

"I've given up on attempting to define myself for the world or society but instead I'm doing the work to heal and grow into the infinite Being God ordained me to be.

"Hopefully I can teach Onyx the same, to not let others shame or ridicule her with their outside opinions, because when they do they are only projecting their own harsh experiences, pain and social programming onto her unblemished beauty."

Cannon urged his detractors to direct their comments at him, rather than Cole and the other women with whom he has had—and is having—children.

"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," Cannon wrote. "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.

"@MissLanishaCole is one of the most guileless, peaceful and nonconfrontational kind souls I've ever witnessed, and only deserves to revel in this moment of blissful joy of motherhood. Please give her that. She is so loving and pure hearted.

"As for me, if you are truly concerned during this time of Spiritual Warfare, my inner struggles with self, mental wellness and physical health concerns... Just continue to pray for me and my entire family that God will grant us Peace that surpasses all Understanding."

Cannon is the father of 11-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, with his ex-wife Mariah Carey. He shares son Golden Sagon, 5, and daughter Powerful Queen, 20 months, and newborn son Rise Messiah with Bell. Pregnant De La Rosa welcomed twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with Cannon in June 2021.

The TV personality and musician also had a son with model Alyssa Scott, 28, in June 2021. Their baby, Zen Cannon, died of brain cancer in December 2021.
