the abortion statement

The music video can I live says it is based on a true story. It does state the year was 1979. as nick cannon was born in October of 1980. I think this points doubt in using that music video to form the statement "Cannon's music video for Can I Live? reveals that he was almost aborted by his mother, but she panicked in the abortion clinic and decided to have the baby" i think that either a statement should be removed. It is rare for a pregnacy to last more then 42 weeks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.94.131.159 (talk) 01:04, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have checked on line for any articles that talk about nick cannon almost being aborted. There are references to this wikipedia article on pro life sites. There is not one thing indicating this statement is true. His music video is not proof that this happened. I will change this once Wikipedia grants me the rights. Pro Life politics should not in a wikipedia articles like this. It is well know that nick cannon is pro life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris10587 (talk • contribs) 12:54, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

surely the fact that he was born in 1980 and the song was first released in 1986 would give it away... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.129.143.88 (talk) 23:50, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested check for recent events/updates

Under the "Hosting" section, it still says Cannon is hosting the fifth season of America's Got Talent when the show has already gone into its sixth season. I would suggest anyone who can edit the article both change that particular statement and also review the rest of the article to make sure it is up-to-date.173.25.25.220 (talk) 16:55, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I Remember

Another side of the controversy for "I Remember" sparked when the original producer of the track Deadmau5 stated on his twitter and facebook that he did not receive any credit for the song Nick "sampled" to freestyle over:

"um... yeah... hey there @NickCannon can we at the very least get a little bit of credit for producing the track you ... erm... "sampled" or what?"

"@NickCannon i appreciate that, i do,... the way i see it, it looks like its lined up as an "exclusive release"? just... you know, our music."

"@NickCannon im not putting you on blast, its just not clearly stated that it's actually our intellectual property. Just protecting my work."

"lets get real here for a sec... regardless of Nick Cannons previous career, current career, future career... the way i guess im looking at it is that the guys a fan. Were going back and forth on twitter to clear it all up nice n neat. no drama. think about it.... why should we put him on blast? There are THOUSANDS of other producers who sample / recreate / modify my work because theyre simply fans. And thats bother flattering and awesome. We can't hate em for that! im just talking to him about any potential "market" he plans on hitting with this, not that it will see the light of day (not with my work in there) but just giving him a little nudge that i'll protect my work. calm down horde! ♥"

"@NickCannon im tellin you, i don't think i'm cut out for this shit, ill accidentally start world war 3 one of these days."

"RT "@NickCannon @deadmau5 HA! I hear you! When are you in the states next?! Let's do an original record together!" *facepalm* WW3 nick. WW3."

"@NickCannon @notch Ancient minecraft proverb: "don't dig straight down. seriously. stop digging."

"@NickCannon dude. im not letting you "borrow" my work. I tried to be nice about it, but you need to clear the samples before putting it out."

"@NickCannon and im not clearing any rights for you to use my work. So, what are you doing here exactly? this is frustrating."

Wednesday Sept 28th 2011

Link for the track here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLGdtRUO2dc note after minute 1:42 the rest of the song is a remix of the original I Remember by deadmau5 vs Kaskade featuring with vocals by Haley Gibby, neither one of them (Kaskade or Haley) are receiving credit for their work on the song either.

In the mean time, Nick has deleted his side of the conversation from twitter. This is seriously NOT seing the light of day. Sources: https://twitter.com/NickCannon https://twitter.com/Deadmau5 Blue starkiller (talk) 18:42, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Acting Career?

Other than the opening paragraph and the filmography at the very end, there is no space in this article devoted to Cannon's career as an actor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicologism (talk • contribs) 21:01, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mere fact that he started going to college

An ip added two sentences to the article that says he has started college at Howard university and his projected graduation year. This is sourced to a post on his Instagram account. I have no concerns that it is true, my concern is that this is just news. If the only place this is reported is in his personal social networks it does not appear to be very important news. I don't think we need to report this in his biography. It will belong when he graduates but until then I don't think so. -- GB fan 23:20, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Date

His birthday is October 8th, according to many sources even check his Twitter page. Don't know why it's been edited to the 17th. Dkingz (talk) 04:47, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Birth

Can someone please edit his birthday back to Oct 8th? There's no sources that indicates he was born on Oct 17th. Dkingz (talk) 17:31, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FYI no hanges haven't been made to birthdate. Dkingz (talk) 05:14, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the article says he was born October 17, 1980. The only source in the article for his birthdate says the same.[2]

Previous to my edits, there was a cite to birth records which I have removed as a direct violation of WP:BLPPRIMARY, "Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses." - SummerPhD^v2.0 18:17, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But the primary sources show that this WEAK source is wrong!!! Ridiculous. This is Alfonso Ribeiro and Keyshia Cole all over again — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CCC2:5F00:6851:C4B0:F08D:2F49 (talk) 05:49, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what happened with Alfonso Ribeiro and Keyshia Cole. I see no relevant talk page discussion. I have removed unsourced birthdates on those pages.

On this article cites AllMusic, a reliable secondary source. If you can demonstrate a consensus that AllMusic is not reliable, we can remove it. If you feel we should use the primary source in direct violation of our WP:BLP policy, we won't be abyt to solve this issue here. - SummerPhD^v2.0 14:12, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday

His birthday is on October 8. Dkingz (talk) 04:43, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The only source we have says otherwise. - SummerPhD^v2.0 06:10, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ViacomCBS Terminates Nick Cannon Over Anti-Semitic Remarks

Anti-semitism

I would like to request the paragraph relating to Cannon's anti-Semitism be under its own heading - perhaps 'Controversy' so as to be consistent with similar instances. LoveOfFate (talk) 11:24, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
