In an August appearance on The Breakfast Club, the Wild 'N Out star explained his views on marriage and defended why he's had children with so many different women. "Just the idea that a man should have one woman, we shouldn't have anything. I have no ownership over this person. If we're really talking about how we coexist and how we populate, it's about what exchange can we create together? I've never really subscribed to that mentality," he said.
He also went into detail about how becoming a parent has changed him for the better. "I've learned so much just from my children. And it's so amazing. And I really just love being around my kids and just that youthful energy. It feels like you get to relive every time," Nick said. "I've been through so much in my life - physically, mentally and spiritually - the best place that I find is the time that I spend with my kids and their energy. And to get as much of that as possible, to pass on all that I've lived into something else, that's why I do it."
