  • Cole seemingly responded to questions about why hasn't been featured on the TV personality's social media lately

One of Nick Cannon's baby mamas seemingly threw shade at him after fans questioned why she hasn't been featured on his social media recently.

Cannon, the father of 11 children with another one on the way, appeared with his kids and their mothers in several festive photos posted on social media over the weekend, but fans noticed that LaNisha Cole and their 3-month-old daughter, Onyx, were missing from the photo shoots.

Cole, 40, seemingly responded to questions about her and her daughter not being included in the photos via Instagram Story Sunday, writing: "There's no need to mention me or send anything to my DMs. It has nothing to do with me... and no need to be messy. It's all love over this way. Happy holidays to you and your family," according to Page Six.

"It's not easy but I have to do it for my daughter. She is incredibly blessed and is surrounded by so much love – and it's not fake IG photo op love – it's real, day in and day out love," she added.

Cole did not directly say that the "fake" photos comment was about Cannon but added that it's "important for me to keep things positive and maintain my peace in the midst of it all."

Cole also shared a photo of her and her daughter posing next to a Christmas tree.

Her comments came after Bre Tiesi shared on Instagram a video of herself with Cannon and their 5-month-old son, Legendary Love, over the weekend. She also posted pictures of the trio posing with Santa Monday.

"Creating memories with my Cannon boys all season long! Legendary didn't even bat an eye at Santa! He did love daddy burying him in the beans! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays," she wrote in the caption.

Abby De La Rosa, who shares twins Zion and Zillion, 12 months, and Beautiful Zeppelin, 1 month, with Cannon, also included the "Wild N' Out" co-host in several holiday family photos she posted via Instagram Saturday.

One shot showed her sporting a red dress as she carried her twin sons, while another featured her and Cannon – who wore a green sweater with tinsel on it and a Santa hat – holding their three children.

Cannon shared videos from both shoots on his Instagram Story. He also reposted a snap of his ex Mariah Carey performing onstage with their daughter Monroe, 11, as well as a holiday photo of son Rise Messiah Cannon, 2 months, shared by the infant's mom, Brittany Bell, E! News reported.

Cannon also shares 11-year-old Moroccan with Carey, and 5-year-old Golden and 20-month-old Powerful with Bell.

He and Alyssa Scott also shared a son, Zen, who tragically died at 5 months old after battling brain cancer in December 2021. Scott is currently pregnant with Cannon's 12th child.

In a recent appearance on the Paramount+ show "The Checkup with Dr. David Agus," Cannon said, "I love children. I love all of my children. I'm grateful to all of their mothers for working with my crazy life."

But he also spoke about his biggest "guilt" about being a dad to 11 children.

"Being a father of multiple kids, it's always the biggest guilt on me is that I don't get to spend enough time with all my children, one 'cause I'm constantly working and two because I'm just spread thin," he said.

His comments sparked backlash on social media, with many urging him to stop adding to his brood.
