So, what exactly did he mean, was he was being literal, and how does this fits into the way he parents his ever-growing family?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"251\" data-end=\"807\">Nick co-parents with <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2025\/11\/11\/bre-tiesi-is-selling-really-horrendous-selling-sunset-girlboss-merch-and-its-so-cringe\/\">Selling Sunset\u2019s Bre Tiesi<\/a> who was also on the episode, so let&#8217;s get into the conversation they had about their three-year-old son.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"858\">Nick shared some controversial parenting ideas<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Baby Mama Pressure, Business &amp; Pleasure with Bre Tiesi and Aminah Imani\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mh2g-EEg98o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"860\" data-end=\"1251\">So, here\u2019s the moment that set everything off. Nick was talking about confidence, toughness, and teaching kids to hold their own when he dropped that eyebrow-raising line.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"860\" data-end=\"1251\">In a segment titled &#8220;Raising &#8216;soft kids&#8217;,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2025\/11\/11\/bre-tiesis-boyfriend-nick-cannon-broke-up-with-kim-kardashian-after-her-sx-tape-leaked\/\">Bre<\/a> said how her son &#8220;whooped her a** before she appeared on the show.&#8221; She added how Legendary Love is a &#8220;little fighter.&#8221; Nick said: &#8220;He likes to throw hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"860\" data-end=\"1251\">He continued: &#8220;I tell him, do not hit girls, you can hit boys.&#8221;

They don\u2019t live under one roof, but they keep a routine, split responsibilities, and make decisions with Legendary\u2019s well-being front and centre.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2315\">Because Bre is so visible on Netflix and Nick is, well, Nick, any parenting remark he makes tends to circle back to their little family.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2315\">Continuing their podcast chat about raising kids to defend themselves, Nick said he&#8217;d tell his kids if they got into a fight: &#8220;&#8230;punch the sh** out of that little motherfu****.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2315\">He also said that after 11 years old, &#8220;you gotta know how to throw hands&#8230; first of all, for a man, there&#8217;s confidence in knowing how to fight&#8230; being a protector. I was a very, very small child. I had all of the taekwondo, and that helped me and gave me a sense of confidence. But, it didn&#8217;t happen until I got into a couple of fights, and I was like, &#8216;I can hit&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2315\">Nick continued: &#8220;I won&#8217;t tell nobody how to raise their kids, but at some poin,t the confidence in a man of knowing how to throw your hands it helps you in life&#8230;&#8221; before Bre added: &#8220;He just tuned three.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2567\" data-end=\"2733\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Nick\u2019s parenting world is genuinely huge.
