Cannon has faced criticism over his growing family and different partners. In the post announcing Onyx’s birth, Cannon alsodirected a message to his detractors.
“As we all know, I am not easily triggered and have quite tough skin and have always been an open book but not everyone in my family has that same level of strength,” he wrote. “So I pray and ask others to please project all criticism and cynicism towards ME and not the loving and precious Mothers of my children.”
He also praised Cole as “one of the most guileless, peaceful and non-confrontational kind souls I’ve ever witnessed” who “only deserves to revel in this moment of blissful joy of motherhood.”
