Fellow former NFL player Channing Crowder shared that he underwent the procedure too.

"It's another man at this table that needs to think about it," Crowder joked, to which Cannon exclaimed, "I feel like this is an intervention!"

"It is a responsible thing to do," Cannon confessed. "I just, I'm not done."

Later in the podcast episode, Cannon, 44, said he felt like he was "being judged" for not getting a vasectomy.

When Bee asked why he wanted more kids, he replied, "Why not?"

She then inquired, "Is it more with one of the women you already got, or is it more with a new one?"

"I don't know!" Cannon admitted. "That's the thing. I leave it to the Lord."

So far, Cannon has welcomed 12 children with six different women.

He shares boy-girl twins, Moroccan and Monroe, with his ex-wife, Mariah Carey; a daughter, Powerful, and two sons, Golden and Rise, with Brittany Bell; a daughter, Onyx, with LaNisha Cole; boy twins, Zillion and Zion, and a daughter, Beautiful, with Abby De La Rosa; a son, Legendary, with Bre Tiesi; and a daughter, Halo, with Alyssa Scott. (Cannon and Scott also shared a son, Zen, who died at 5 months old in 2021 because of a brain tumor.)

In November, Cannon revealed he had been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) on his podcast Counsel Culture.

"I'm just trying to be the best father I can be," he shared of parenting with NPD. "I'm just trying to make the best out of the situation that I did create, but I'm still trying to step up."
