Nick Cannon Talks Child Support Claims to Pay ‘A Lot More’ than $3M A Year
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhtoosByBeanz It’s a question most of us have asked. How much does a man who will soon welcome his 12th child pay in child support?

Though it’s an unsettling, big picture view of humanity’s legacy, “Song From Plastic” is also a reminder of what makes humanity special. In contrast to the shallow plastic “fossils” we are leaving behind, the artists sought to outfit the discarded waste with ordinary everyday sounds and...
