“I’m back on my grind. I got to get my weight back up. I got to continue to rest properly, get my diet back to the way it was and I’m all in it. Got to stick around for them children.”

In addition to battling pneumonia, Nick Cannon revealed that this year is the 10th anniversary of his lupus diagnosis that has kept him in and out of the hospital since 2012.
Cannon first mentioned he was stricken with pneumonia on December 2, with a set of pictures showing him in the hospital but in good spirits. In his caption, the Wild’ N Out creator admitted he isn’t a superhero, just a man at the end of the day.
“Okay, so I guess I’m not Superman,” Cannon wrote. “I promised myself I would never be back at this place again… But this is a great lesson to take care of YOU or YOU won’t be able to take care of everyone else.”
The actor continued: “Don’t trip though, I don’t need any well wishes or prayers , just some solid rest and I will be back on the journey to becoming stronger than ever… it’s just pneumonia, nothing I can’t handle.”

The night before he recorded his video message, Cannon was on stage at Madison Square Garden performing live in front of a sold-out New York City crowd with his Wild ‘N Out crew. Even while he was dealing with pneumonia, Cannon was also in a somber mood.
December marks the one-year anniversary of the death of Cannon’s son Zen with Ayssa Scott. Baby Zen was born on June 23, but died due to a malignant brain tumor within a few short months.
