In the picture, Scott can be seen gently cradling her 5-month-old son as he’s wrapped in a light blue blanket while she stares at him sleeping.
“This is a special one. This is my Pic of the Day today, a picture that I actually had the opportunity to take on Sunday,” Cannon told his audience, adding, “It’s a beautiful photo of my beautiful son and his beautiful mother,Alyssa Scott, and it’s a real moment.”
“Love to Alyssa, love to her extended family, and love to each and every mother who’s ever had to lose a child, had to deal with a child with special needs … Mothers are superheroes”, he continued, concluding the segment with, “We’re going to get through it.”

TheWild N Outstar announced during the Tuesday taping of his talk show thatZen had died. “Today is a special one y’all for many reasons but it’s not gonna be an easy one. I haven’t even shared this with anybody, not even the crew,” Cannon began. “I had a very tough weekend.”

After recalling that he and Scott thought it “would be a routine process,” doctors discovered fluid building up in Zen’s head, as well as a malignant tumor that required surgery. “We were faithful and hopeful for that time. We carried on, he was still just playing with his brothers and sisters, I embraced every moment,” he continued.
However, things took a turn around Thanksgiving as the tumor began to grow, and Cannon spent as much “quality time” with Zen as he could until he died.
“I’m here to show that I can fight through this, I’m feeling it, I’m vulnerable, I’m open,” he said Tuesday. This is a special show dedicated to my beautiful son Zen."
