WATCH: Nick Cannon's powerful message on the death of his 5-month-old son

Nick Cannon and partner Alyssa Scott with baby Zen


The American comedian and presenter has shared the news that his five-month-old son Zen has died after being diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier in the year.

The 41-year-old battled to hold back his tears as he told his audience on the latest episode of The Nick Cannon Show, that he had had “ a very tough weekend."

Watch as Cannon takes his audience through their journey, from the time he and partner, model Alyssa Scott, were told Zen was suffering from a build-up of fluid on the brain, and had a malignant tumour, to his tragic passing.

It’s an inspiring, powerful, and uplifting story of love, faith, and hope. RIP baby Zen.
