Nick Cannon, the host of MTV’s Wild ’N Out, has entered the cryptocurrency game with the launch of his own meme coin, WILDNOUT. Shortly after this announcement, he stirred the pot on social media by taking a jab at fellow media figure Dave Portnoy, known for his involvement in cryptocurrencies and online provocations.

Cannon’s Bold Declaration

In a tweet, Cannon boasted, “I have more money than Dave Portnoy. I don’t need to dump on you. Let’s send this to $100m for the culture.” This statement followed his previous tweet announcing the launch of his meme coin: “We Wild ’N Out in the trenches! The official Wild N Out meme coin is Live!… Wildn! Wildn!”

Back-and-Forth on Social Media

While Cannon’s tweets seemed to be aimed at firing up interest in his new venture, they also ignited some rivalry with other personalities, including Portnoy and controversial figure Andrew Tate. Portnoy, never one to shy away from a verbal duel, responded with a succinct retort: “No shot somebody with 52 kids has more money than me. Zero.”

The Truth about Cannon’s Family

While Portnoy’s comment was intended as a humorous exaggeration, the reality is that Cannon has 12 children with six different partners, including pop icon Mariah Carey. Cannon himself has remarked on the financial burdens associated with raising a large family, agreeing that maintaining such responsibilities is not cheap. “It’s definitely not,” he noted, emphasizing that having many children is “a rich man’s sport,” a sentiment he expressed in a recent interview.

Portnoy’s Meme Coin Controversy

On the other hand, Dave Portnoy recently made headlines for selling off his original meme coin, GREED, which received its own backlash. Following that, he re-entered the crypto market with a new meme coin aptly titled GREED2, continuing his engagement with the digital currency space.
