Meghan McCain’s Explosive Takedown of Nick Cannon: How Could The View Star Call Him a ‘Creepy Cult Leader’ for Expecting His Ninth Child, Blasting His ‘Impregnate the Planet’ Madness—Is This the Wildest Celebrity Feud of 2025?

Meghan McCain, the fiery former co-host of “The View,” has unleashed a blistering attack on Nick Cannon, branding him a “creepy cult leader” as he awaits his ninth child in 2025. In a scathing Daily Mail op-ed originally penned in 2022, McCain tore into Cannon’s “impregnate the planet” mindset, a critique reignited as his family grows yet again. The 37-year-old daughter of the late Senator John McCain didn’t mince words, slamming the “Drumline” star’s prolific procreation—nine kids with five women—as a dystopian nightmare. Fans are stunned: is this the most jaw-dropping celebrity clash of the year?

The saga kicked off when Cannon, now 44, celebrated his expanding brood alongside Elon Musk’s own baby-making boasts on Twitter. Musk tweeted about combating an “underpopulation crisis,” prompting Cannon’s enthusiastic, “Right there with you my brother!” McCain pounced, decrying their exchange as “the creepiest tag team tweet thread in history.” She zeroed in on Cannon’s quip likening his reproduction to a “seahorse,” arguing it’s less altruistic and more cult-like. “This mentality is creepy and comes off like the actions of a cult leader,” she wrote, leaving readers reeling at her unfiltered fury.

Cannon’s family tree is a whirlwind: twins Moroccan and Monroe, 13, with ex-wife Mariah Carey; Golden, 8, and Powerful Queen, 3, with Brittany Bell; twins Zion and Zillion, 3, with Abby De La Rosa, who also bore his ninth, due October 25, 2022; and a son with Bre Tiesi in 2022. Tragically, his son Zen with Alyssa Scott died at five months from a brain tumor in 2021. By April 8, 2025, whispers of a tenth child swirl, amplifying McCain’s point: where does it end?

Social media lit up with reactions. “Meghan’s right—Nick’s out of control!” one X user posted, while another defended, “He’s just living his truth!” McCain, a mother herself, argued ordinary Americans can’t relate to such excess, contrasting Cannon’s resources with everyday struggles. Her op-ed, though rooted in 2022, feels freshly seismic as Cannon’s family saga escalates.

Is this a feud or a wake-up call? McCain’s not backing down, painting Cannon as a figure whose “save the planet” excuse masks a bizarre obsession. As of now, Cannon hasn’t responded, but the shockwaves linger. With prayers once needed for his late son Zen, now it’s McCain’s words that demand attention—has she ignited 2025’s wildest showdown, or just exposed a truth too big to ignore?
