Nick Cannon Jokes That It's 'Horrifying' Raising Teens as His Twins Turn 13

Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, his twins with Mariah Carey, turned 13 years old earlier this year.

Nick Cannon is embarking on a new stage of fatherhood that he will revisit quite a few times over as someone with 12 kids.

Cannon stopped by The Talk to reflect on hosting The Masked Singer as it begins Season 12, discuss his long-running hit show Wild 'n Out to Africa, and jokingly bemoan the reality that his twins, Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey, recently became teenagers.

Cannon jokingly described the general idea of having teenagers as "horrifying." While the 44-year-old multi-hyphenate was quick to brush aside any concerns about dealing with his 13-year-old son Moroccan, who he sees as a younger version of himself, his daughter Monroe is a different story.

“I can actually handle my son because he is so much like me," he explained. "But my daughter, she's like, wearing makeup and taking two hours in the bathroom. Like, what are you doing in there?!”

Cannon continued, "It’s scary because I'm just watching her evolve into this young woman and, I mean, I can't stop it."

The suggestion of Sephora set Cannon off on a tangent about how much Monroe and her friends love the store.

"She lives at Sephora! Why are you putting all that stuff on? Do you have another face I don't know about?," Cannon joked, adding, "I'm standing at the front of Sephora and I've been in there for over an hour."

The discussion starts at the 4:40 mark in the video above.

Last week, Nick Cannon spoke on attending Diddy's parties and that his hands are clean. During a recent episode of the The Breakfast Club that he cohosted on Oct. 11, he said he attended the parties since he was a "kid" around roughly "16, 17" years old and he never witnessed the music mogul's notorious "Freak Offs."
