He joked that he doesn't want to overpopulate the planet.

Nick Cannon says he is thinking of having a vasectomy after having seven children. He loves his children very much, but joked that he doesn't want to overpopulate the earth.

He went to counseling for the procedure as he now prepares for the birth of his eighth child with model Bre Teezy. Nick has two children with Mariah Carey, two children with Brittany Bell, and two children with Abby de la Rosa.

His seventh son by model Alyssa Scott died of brain cancer in December at five months old. Cannon added that he didn't know if he intentionally had so many children, Metro says.
