Nick Cannon announces son’s death
The star broke the news to fans on his show, saying:
“We got to spend the weekend with him.
“I said I feel like I want to go to the water, to the ocean, and usually on Sundays I handle everything I handle with the family and rush back to New York, and I wanted to make sure allowed the sun to rise and hold my son for the last time.
“But it was a beautiful setting and even spend that whole day.
“I was preparing my day as it normally went to come back and come here, and I didn’t know what it was going to be.
“By the time I came to the airport, I had to turn around.
“I turned around and saw the sun set too.
“I didn’t know I was going to handle today, but I just really wanted to grieve with my family and people who love me.”
