Nick Cannon has shared a celebratory statement in response to claims that Elon Musk has fathered his 13th child with Ashley St. Clair.
Cannon – who has 12 children with six different women – has publicly supported the Tesla CEO after St. Clair, a MAGA influencer and children’s author, outed Musk, 53, as the alleged father of her five-month-old child.
Although St. Clair’s announcement has sparked a whirlwind of controversy, Cannon, 44, came forward with a humorous congratulations to Musk – even though he has yet to speak out on the matter.
‘Yo @elonmusk got me out here looking for my Super Suit again! LOL Congratulations my brother!’ the Wild ‘n Out host shared on Musk’s X.
If the DOGE leader is the father of the 26-year-old’s child, he would have 13 kids with four different women – Justine Wilson, Claire Elise Boucher AKA Grimes, Shivon Zilis and St. Clair.
Despite Cannon’s excitement, not everyone had positive feedback for Musk, with one rapper calling attention to what he believes is a double standard.
Algernod Lanier Washington, better known as Plies, posted on X: ‘Name A Black Man With 13 Kids From Different Women. That America Would Trust Running The Federal Government & This Country???’
In another post, Plies doubled down on his stance after someone defended Musk by saying that he ‘takes care’ of all his children.
Elon Musk has yet to confirm or deny claims that he has fathered a 13th child and has deleted his X account
Nick Cannon, who has 12 children himself, congratulated Musk on his alleged 13th child
MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair came forward on Friday claiming she secretly gave birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child
‘Who gives a f**k if he can take care of them!!! If any man has 13 kids for different random women that’s says a lot about that person! If Kamala had 13 kids from 3 different men what would u say about her?’
St. Clair made the bombshell announcement on Thursday via X, declaring: ‘Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.
‘I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.
‘I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.’
In a stream of follow-up social media posts and public statements, the influencer has disclosed more details around her alleged relationship with Musk.
‘I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,’ she admitted to the New York Post while declining to provide material proof of the billionaire’s paternity.
St. Clair issued another comment through her media relations strategist Brian Glicklich on X on Saturday.
‘Ashley & Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time,’ the message began.
Aside from St. Claire, Musk has children with Justine Wilson, Claire Elise Boucher AKA Grimes and Shivon Zilis
Rapper Algernod Lanier Washington, better known as Plies, took to X to point out what he believes to be a double standard regarding reactions to Musk’s fatherhood track record
‘It is disappointing that a tabloid reporter, who repeatedly ambushed Ashley and her family, made it impossible to complete that process confidentially.
‘We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share.’
Musk has not said anything about the claims, but he has deleted his X account after issuing a one-word response on X on Saturday evening, writing: ‘Whoa.’
The decision to go offline followed a series of rambling posts about unrelated matters, including the upcoming release of Grok 3, which Musk called the ‘smartest AI on Earth.’
