"Why do people question it?" said when asked about his big family on radio show on Monday.
He added: "That's a Eurocentric concept when you think about the ideas… that you’re supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life. The idea that a man should have one woman? We shouldn’t have anything. I have no ownership over this person."
FOUR BABY MAMAS
Nick has twins , 10, with ex-wife, who he split from in 2012.
The TV star also has son Golden, five, with and they welcomed a daughter, Powerful, in December 2020.
In June he welcomed twins Zillion and Zion with and a son Zen with Alyssa Scott.
Nick, 40, explained that he’s "never really subscribed to that mentality."
He explained: "I understand the institution of marriage but if we go back to what that's about, that was to classify property. One father gave another man his daughter for land. I don’t want ownership over anybody. I don’t have ownership over any of the mothers. We created a beautiful entity."
The actor said that having so many children wasn’t his "decision."
'AIN'T MY DECISION'
The comedian said: "Those women, all women, are the ones that open themselves up and say 'I would like to allow this man in my world. And I will birth this child.' It ain't my decision. I'm following suit."
Nick said that all the women in his life know how he feels about monogamy.
"I’m not going around like, 'Who am I gonna impregnate next?'" the rapper joked, adding, "Nah. It’s usually scenarios. When you look at a family structure, the woman is always the one who leads and makes decisions."
