Nick Cannon: No Show Business For My Kids!

Nick Cannon: No Show Business For My Kids!

Don’t expect twins Moroccan and Monroe to follow in their parents’ very famous footsteps!

Though he’s quick to say that he “love[s] being in entertainment,” dad Nick Cannon reveals that he will “absolutely not” encourage his kids to go the same route, saying that he hopes for a very different future for them.

“I just want them to strive for something greater than entertainment,” the America’s Got Talent host tells People. “I’m one of those believers in teachers, professors, heart surgeons. That’s what I’m rooting for. If I could get a scientist, that’d be amazing.”

Nick loves his day job, but it’s his role as a family man that is his top priority these days.

“Being a father and being a husband comes first,” he gushes. “Everybody knows I’m obsessed with my wife. I’m married to Mariah Carey. It doesn’t get better than that. I’d be an idiot to do anything wrong. I worship my wife. Have you seen my back? My back says ‘Mariah Forever.’”

    Nick can say this now when their babies but when they hit a certain age you never know when the bug is going to bite. but he’s also said that if one of them were to choose to go into the business he would support them 100% and has so since before he even announced it was twins

    That’s fine but it’s show business/the entertainment industry where the big bucks are. You’d have to toil away at a regular job, even a “heart surgeon” for months to make what you could in one evening as an entertainer or actor. Jennifer Lopez performed for 90 minutes and made a million dollars, or Paris Hilton who shows up for an hour at a party and makes $50 K.

    Yeah right. I can see Mariah pushing them in front of the camera by the time they are in Kindergarten.
