Nick Cannon welcomes his ninth child weeks after announcing he is expecting another baby with Brittany Bell

Nick Cannon and photographer LaNisha Cole have welcomed their first child together. The baby girl is Cannon's ninth child, and was born just weeks after the singer announced he was expecting a baby with Brittany Bell. 

"Introducing ONYX ICE COLE CANNON… Once again Today I am in Awe of the Devine Feminine! God has given me and @MissLanishaCole the privilege of hosting an Angel here on earth," he wrote in an Instagram post Thursday. "I vow to protect, provide, guide and love this child to the best of my abilities."

In the post, which featured a picture of Cannon, Cole, and their daughter at the hospital, the TV host seemed to address the controversy around his fast-growing family.
