The new addition comes just nine days after the birth of his newborn daughter, Onyx Ice, with formerPrice Is RightmodelLaNisha Cole.
“Another Blessing!!! As my journey on this planet becomes more and more remarkable and unfathomable, all I can do is thank God and continue to ask the Most High to order my steps,” Cannon wrote. “He has given me stewardship and dominion over a family dynamic that to some is unimaginable.”
“But more importantly he has blessed me with loving individuals to guide me with care through this purposeful life. I am so indebted and grateful for the matriarch energy in my time of need,” Cannon continued, celebrating Bell for being “the rock and foundation of my Fatherhood journey.”

Critics online have questioned Cannon’s untraditional views on monogamy, something he addressed while announcing daughter Onyx Ice’s birth in September.
“In this moment of celebration and jubilee, I wish to mute any low vibrational frequencies and only rejoice with the Highest Class of Civilization who are truly aligned with our purpose here in this dimension,” Cannon wrote.
“I’ve given up on attempting to define myself for the world or society but instead I’m doing the work to heal and grow into the infinite Being God ordained me to be,” he continued.
“Hopefully I can teach Onyx the same, to not let others shame or ridicule her with their outside opinions, because when they do they are only projecting their own harsh experiences, pain and social programming onto her unblemished beauty.”
