Nick Cannon has cleared the air over his new show Who’s Having My Baby?, revealing it was a prank for another show he has in the works with Kevin Hart.
The media mogul took to Instagram on Wednesday (March 8) to unveil the actual show that he’s been working on, which is called Celebrity Prank Wars.
The series follows Cannon and Hart as they pull pranks on unsuspecting people, and one of the jokes was the fictional “Who’s Having My Baby?” trailer that he shared earlier this week.
“Gotcha!!!! ‘Who’s Having My Baby?’ was definitely a prank y’all, but #CelebrityPrankWars is our real show,” Nick Cannon wrote under a poster for Celebrity Prank Wars. “Tap in to the premiere April 6th on @eentertainment! @kevinhart4real.”

Nick Cannon and Kevin Hart kicked off their first prank last week with the since-debunked announcement of their forthcoming E! show, Who’s Having My Baby?, accompanied by a teaser trailer.
With Hart serving as host, the clip found him introducing women contestants who “want to have [Nick’s] baby.”
There wasn’t much detail given on the fictional show besides E! promising the program would be “the mother of all game shows.” Fans couldn’t stop talking about the show on social media, given Nick Cannon has 12 children.
Cannon’s reproductive streak has long been the source of jokes. Last February, Kevin Hart sent his comedy pal a condom vending machine as a prank. The joke was funny until Nick Cannon revealed it got him in trouble with one of his baby mothers.
In 2022 alone, Cannon welcomed five children into the world from five different mothers. Last month, Cannon welcomed Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier to his Hollywood offices, where he has a nursery large enough to fit his entire brood.
During the convo, Cannon said he’s not necessarily trying to grow that number, but the answer to whether he will isn’t a hard “no” either.
“God decides when we’re done,” he said laughing. “But I believe I definitely got my hands full. And I’m so focused. I’m locked in. But when I’m 85, you never know. I might.”
