Nick Cannon Debuts 'Odd' Leg Tattoo That Is A Tribute To His Christian Faith

Nick Cannon strongly believes in Christ, and the TV host wants the world to know that!

The established rapper, a well-known figure in Hollywood who has a reputation for fathering many children with different women, might have caused an uproar in the Christian community following the new tattoo he designed on his body.

Seeing as this is not the first time Cannon has been reprimanded for making questionable decisions, the father of twelve left fans speechless with his new act.

The multi-hyphenate entertainer, who is a tattoo enthusiast and has his body decorated with several designs, debuted his new ink to honor his Christian faith.

On his Instagram Story, he shared a picture of himself appearing excited as he proudly flaunted the new tattoo he had designed on his leg. The "Feelin' Freaky" rapper donned a matching pink hoodie and sweatpants and seemed to be at work in the studio, as his surroundings revealed microphone wires. 

A big screen with the words "The Daily Cannon - Tattoo-Tuesday '' was also visible in the background. Wearing star-studded sunglasses to add more effect to his tattoo reveal, he reacted excitedly and pointed at the ink on his leg, revealing a drawing of Jesus with the words, "JESUS IS MY HOMEBOY."

Unveiling his leg tattoo to his 6.1 million followers, he captioned the post, writing, "? NEW TAT ALERT ?." While Cannon claims to be a devout follower of Christ, his actions in the past might make some of his loyal supporters doubt his declaration.

Earlier this year, the dad of twelve came under fire after he put ''Jesus" and ''Vagina'' in the same sentence. In a bid to advertise a religious dating app named "Christian Mingle," the TV host took to his Instagram to upload a video of himself donning an all-white suit while seated in front of a piano.

The Nickelodeon alum complemented his looks by wearing a pair of glasses while he styled his hair into short braids. Stating his reason for making the clip, he played light notes on the piano and remarked, "It's almost Valentine's Day, and this year I'm joining Christian Mingle.com! I'm seeking women. Multiple plurals. Womens.''

This was followed by an instruction from the off-screen director, who yelled, "Cut." Along the line in the clip, Cannon filled out his dating app profile, and when he was asked for his Christian Mingle name, the rapper joked about choosing monikers like ''Goliath'' and ''seed of our Father children of abundance."

However, when it was time for the TV host to state his marital status, he appeared lost for words and later joked about spreading his seed according to the Bible's preaching. He remarked, "I'm just following the word. It's Bible, baby.'' As for his religion, he declared himself to be ''charismatic'' and his occupation as ''driving that D." 

Rounding up the Christian dating site promotion, Cannon earned another director's cut for saying, "I love Jesus and vagina." Meanwhile, the parody ad was captioned, "Trying something new this Valentine's Day."

Notwithstanding that the post amassed over 80k likes, unamused fans flooded the comments section to rebuke the comedian for uttering such a statement. One fan slammed the "I Do'' rapper for disrespecting God. They wrote, "God doesn't like mockery. Your blessings are about to be gone. Don't play with him."

Another penned, "Bruh, you wrong for mocking God! And all who are laughing are participating in the mockery of Jesus! Oh, Genesis 1:28 specifically spoke of Adam and the woman he created just for him (Eve). Bro repents; the system/industry doesn't love you!"

Instead irritated fan admonished, "This is the most disrespectful thing I've seen in a while. Stop playing with God. Refrain from this foolishness. If you even knew what God's word says, you wouldn't even attempt to do this dumb video. SMH."

A fourth commenter added, "Playing with God after HE saved your life many times is dangerous! All money ain't good money!!!!!!!" Another fan wrote, "Droppin that D… talking about vagina…. He's a disgrace."

The faith-inspired inking is the latest of Cannon's numerous tattoos. Granting a friendly chat with Inked — a tattoo lifestyle digital media company — the dad of twelve gave an exposition on what his various tattoos represented in his life.

Appearing shirtless for the interview while wearing white pants, Cannon flaunted his ripped physique and gave fans a close-up view of the inks designed all over his body.

As for the compass tattoo above his chest, the "Pray For Him'' rapper revealed that he got it because a compass stands for helping people search for their purpose and knowing their ''balance and magnetism'' in life. 

Meanwhile, the eye tattoo on his neck represents his mother's eye. He noted that the eye serves the purpose of a "higher frequency and clarity while showing the truth in what life is about.''

The rapper also revealed that the little drawings carved in the form of a map on both sides of his shoulders pay tribute to his two birth origins.

In his words, "It's kind of like a topographical biography. One side is Africa, and one side is America. As someone classified as an African American here in the United States, I thought that was an interesting place of where I live and where my culture originates."
