Nick Cannon Honors Late Son Zen on 4th Birthday with Charity Launch

Nick Cannon commemorated what would have been his late son Zen's fourth birthday with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, where he shared a video of lighting a candle and visiting a hospital in Zen's memory. Zen, Cannon's son with Alyssa Scott, died in December 2021 at five months old from brain cancer, a diagnosis made three months prior following the discovery of fluid and a malignant tumor in his head. In Zen's honor, Cannon announced a partnership with ReisFields to launch the 'Zen’s Light: A Celebration of Life Candle,' with proceeds supporting families affected by childhood cancer and other diseases. Alongside this, Cannon and Scott founded the Zen's Light Foundation in 2022, dedicated to fostering hope, grief care, and pediatric healthcare for families in need. Despite Zen's brief life, his legacy continues to inspire through these initiatives, as Cannon embraces the ongoing impact of his son's light. The tribute highlights Cannon's role as a father to 12 children, including Zen and his daughter Halo with Scott.
