Mother of Nick Cannon's ninth child calls out trolls sending newborn death threats

Nick Cannon 's newborn daughter Onyx has received "disgusting" death threats online, with her mum LaNisha Cole speaking out against the trolls.

"Making death threats against a baby is a new low. Some of you guys are disgusting. Regardless of how you feel about my life, it’s never that deep to threaten my baby, " the model wrote on her Instagram Stories.

LaNisha, 40, later added: "People say the craziest things to me sometimes but I’ll continue to stay positive. I’m focused on my daughter and my work… my 2 top priorities.

"No matter how you feel just remember that there’s a real person behind the pics and videos you see on social media. Say what you want about me, just keep my kid out of it."

Nick, 42, welcomed Onyx with LaNisha last month, announcing the baby's arrival with a series of black-and-white hospital pictures on Instagram. Nick has since had a tenth child, a son called Rise Messiah, with his ex-girlfriend Brittany Bell.

When Onyx was born, the TV presenter appealed to his followers not to send hateful messages to LaNisha or the child.

Writing on social media, he said: "I vow to protect, provide, guide and love this child to the best of my abilities.

"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."

He added: "As we all know I am not easily triggered and have quite tough skin and have always been an open book but not everyone in my family has that same level of strength.

"So I pray and ask others to please project all criticism and cynicism towards ME and not the loving and precious Mothers of my children.

"@MissLanishaCole is one of the most guileless, peaceful and nonconfrontational kind souls I’ve ever witnessed, and only deserves to revel in this moment of blissful joy of motherhood.

"Please give her that."

Nick and model Brittany are also the parents of son Golden, five, and daughter Powerful, one.

Additionally, Nick has two sets of twins — Moroccan and Monroe, 11, and Zion and Zillion, one, with Mariah Carey and Abby De La Rosa respectively.

The actor is the father of son Legendary, 3 months, with “Selling Sunset” star Bre Tiesi as well.

One year prior to Legendary’s arrival, Nick welcomed a baby boy named Zen with Alyssa Scott. The five-month-old died in December 2021.
