<h3 style="text-align: center;">Nick Says He&#8217;s With Onyx Three Times A Week: &#8220;Our Co-Parenting Operation Is So Solid&#8221;</h3>
<p>The dad-of-a-dozen shared his comments while appearing on <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBfEPAzzyVw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Jason Lee Show</a> </em>earlier this month.</p>
<p>During the sit-down, Jason mentioned Nick&#8217;s recent snafu on <em>The Howard Stern</em> <em>Show</em>, where he forgot to name Onyx while listing off his children.</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="Cq-pk4Tuqcf" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<p>After noting that he &#8220;f**ked up,&#8221; Cannon proceeded to put the blame on <strong>Howard Stern</strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Howard f**ked me up [because] he interrupted me as I was going in order.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>While on the subject, Nick pointed out that — out of his entire tribe of children — Onyx is &#8220;probably&#8221; the one he spends the most time with.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you want God&#8217;s honest truth [about] my beautiful daughter Onyx, that&#8217;s probably the child that I spend the most time with. I&#8217;m with her at least three times a week for the full day.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Nick Cannon credited his solid &#8220;co-parenting operation&#8221; with <strong>LaNisha Cole </strong>for why he&#8217;s able to spend so much time with Onyx.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;LaNisha and I have a super strong understanding, and our co-parenting operation is so solid. If you see me on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays, my daughter is right next to me.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>After noting that he even has an on-set nursery, Nick proclaimed, <strong><em>&#8220;I appreciate that LaNisha gives me [enough respect] to allow me to have [Onyx] the equal amount of time as her.&#8221;</em></strong></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Nick Cannon Clears Up His Child Support Situation: &#8220;My Account Is Their Account&#8221;</h3>
<p>This revelation about Onyx isn&#8217;t the only matter that came up during Nick&#8217;s sit-down with Jason Lee, as he also set the record straight about his child support situation.</p>
<p>Nick told Jason that, despite what some may think, he fully supports his kids without being involved in the &#8220;system [run] by the government.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Every dollar that I make is for my family. It&#8217;s funny, &#8217;cause there was some narrative like, &#8216;Nick Cannon don&#8217;t pay child support.&#8217; What I was saying is I am not in the child support system that is ran by the government. My money is they money!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>After proclaiming that his family gets &#8220;whatever they ask for,&#8221; Cannon declared, <strong><em>&#8220;My account is their account! And it&#8217;s a lot in there, so we ain&#8217;t gon&#8217; run out!&#8221;</em></strong></p>

<p>He wrote, <em><strong>&#8220;Nope! The government don&#8217;t have to tell us to pay child support&#8230; WE PAY LAMBO SUPPORT!&#8221;</strong></em></p>
