A mechanical voice could be heard from the device, saying, "Nick, it's time for your child support," but Cannon did not pick up. Instead, he sent an auto-message that read, "Sorry, I can't talk right now."
The "Roll Bounce" actor echoed the statement in the post's caption, and in no time, the comments section was filled with varied opinions from fans. One commenter joked that the voice sounded like his ex-wife Carey's, while another noted that Cannon was "becoming self-aware."
A third follower who was not so taken with the post wrote, "It's not cute nor funny that u carelessly created all of those broken families/ single mothers who be lucky to have a part-time dad at least."
Others joked some more about the video, with one writing, "The fact he has them numberedππππ" and another followed, "Ooohhh you've got jokes!!!πππ."
"NICE 1 NICKβ¦πππ₯°π₯°," an ensuing comment read before a fellow TikTok user remarked, "He's like they be clowning on me, let me do it myselfπππ."

"I wish I could make a contract [that says], 'You cannot take this much of my energy when you leave.' Money comes and goes. I always tell people, 'Money don't make you happy. Happy makes you money.' So I'm always going to be good, and every dollar that I make is for my family."

I wanna be a lot more intentional with life, especially when dealing with creating life."

With that, he declared, "So I wanna be intentional in all of their lives currently, and I don't want to spread anyone else thinner than they already are."
