Bill Maher Blames Nick Cannon For The U.S. Baby Formula Crisis

Nick Cannon is well-known for his large family. In the year 2021 itself, the father of seven (with another on the way) had four children. So it was only natural for comedian Bill Maher to include him in his most recent HBO monologue on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

The United States is currently experiencing a baby formula crisis after major manufacturer Abbott had to recall over 42 percent of the stock due to contamination. COVID-related supply chain concerns have exacerbated the problem.

“Just when the Supreme Court comes up with a formula for more babies,” Bill Maher joked on Real Time, drawing parts of his monologue from recent stories about the leaked Supreme Court draught paper proposing to repeal Roe vs Wade abortion law. “Ladies, you’re in America now. Not only do we make you carry the baby to term, now we’re gonna make you breastfeed the little thing.”

He went on to blame Nick Cannon because of the Drumline star’s hoard of kids.

Everybody wants to know, ‘Why are we out of the, you know, baby formula?’ Well, few issues … Supply chain issues (which are real), contamination that happened in a couple of places (that’s real), and of course Nick Cannon!

Nick Cannon may be one of the causes of the scarcity, but he doesn’t seem to mind. He adores being a father. With his ex-wife Mariah Carey, Cannon has 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, son Golden and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, and twins Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa.
