<p>Roommates, we are sending our deepest condolences to Nick Cannon and <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/wild-n-out-model-alyssa-scott-confirms-shes-carrying-nick-cannons-7th-child-in-fathers-day-post/">Alyssa Scott</a></em> during this difficult time.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Nick shared on his talk show that their son Zen Cannon has unfortunately passed away. Nick shared that he passed on Sunday due to a form of brain cancer. He shared the unfortunate news with his audience and opened up about what he and his family are currently going through.</p>
<p>Nick said on his show, &#8220;Over the weekend I lost my youngest son to a condition called hydrocephalus which was pretty much a malignant invasive midline brain tumor, brain cancer, and it&#8217;s tough.&#8221;</p>
<p>He shared that around Thanksgiving they learned that the tumor in his son&#8217;s brain started to grow a lot faster.</p>
<p>Nick said that he made the effort to spend time with his son this past weekend. &#8220;This weekend, I made a valid effort to spend the most quality time that I could spend with Zen. We woke up on Sunday, and I said &#8216;I was just like, I feel like I want to go to the water, close to the ocean.&#8217; And we got a chance to go to the ocean,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Nick said that Sunday was unfortunately the last time he was able to hold his son.</p>

<p>After sharing the heartbreaking news with his audience, Nick continued to say, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t want to make it about pageantry or any of that type of stuff. So I kind of went back and forth about what I should do. I was always talking about you don&#8217;t just go through it, you grow through it, you keep pushing.&#8221;</p>
<p>For the remainder of the show, Nick was joined by his therapist as he openly talked about the loss of his son.</p>

<p>Nick and Alyssa welcomed their baby boy Zen back in June.</p>

<p>We are sending our deepest condolences to Nick, Alyssa, and their family.</p>
