Nick Cannon has some words after Kevin Hart made a comment about his baby making habit during a recent podcast appearance.

While speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Hart joked about Cannon’s growing family, referring to him as a “sperm diffuser” while marveling at how he seems to have a system for everything.

“Nick Cannon. Sperm diffuser. I think Nick has the code,” Hart said. “Like, Nick knows… Which one, you want a girl? Right, left, right, left…”

The comment quickly caught attention online, with many fans trying to figure out exactly what Hart meant by the phrase. Cannon, however, didn’t seem impressed.

In an interview with TMZ, the entertainer reacted bluntly to the remark. “Fuck you, Kevin,” Cannon said, before questioning the logic behind the joke. “That… didn’t make sense.”

He went on to compare it to a nickname he’s heard before that he felt was at least more fitting. “They used to call me ‘The Sperminator.’ That makes sense,” he said, adding that Hart’s version missed the mark.

Cannon also took a playful jab at Hart’s comedic style, suggesting the joke may not have landed the way it was intended. “He’s not the greatest at improv,” Cannon said. “We wild out with him many a time.”

The exchange is the latest moment in the two entertainers’ long-running, lighthearted back-and-forth. Both have frequently poked fun at each other in the past, often blending humor with a competitive edge.

While Cannon made it clear he wasn’t a fan of the “sperm diffuser” label, his response kept things in the realm of comedy rather than conflict.
