Cannon, host of FOX's The Masked Singer, told his followers, "I've seen so much love y'all, more love than I’ve probably ever experienced."
Showing off the ink in the photo, he said, "that’s actually my rib right there. Last night, I got the opportunity to go get a tattoo of my son Zen as an angel on my rib."
Cannon, pointing to his rib, explained "I'm still all bandaged up and it hurts right here, right now.”
The rapper, actor, and radio & television personality who shares the memory of Zen with his mother, model Alyssa Scott, said he arrived at the tattoo studio around 7:30PM on Thursday and stayed there until around 1AM.
"It was a lot of pain, but it was so well worth it,” he said “I enjoyed every moment of the experience to forever have my son right here on my rib, right here on my side as my angel.”
