Nick Cannon and Bre Tiesi’s son, Legendary, required ‘ventilator support’ after he was born.
The couple’s baby was born with a “long crown” caused by a neck hand or a hand to his ear, Tiesi revealed during an 11-minute birth video released on Monday.

“I noticed he wasn’t crying,” the model said, adding that her midwife used an air tube on the newborn and when he finally started crying, it was “the best sound I’ve ever heard.”
Last month, the real estate agent documented her “medicinal-free home birth” for YouTube, warning viewers the clips were “intense” and “a little graphic.”

In the video, Tiesi, 31, was desperately trying to induce her labor before Cannon, 41, had to travel across the country for an undisclosed amount of time for work.
The new mum, who was 10 hours into labour, explained in the video that she was quickly “humiliated” by the “intensity of the birth”.
She added: “This was the moment that pushed the boundaries the most and yet was absolutely empowering and beautiful.
“The intensity of the birth takes over your whole body and I swear I screamed and cried so hard I started to vomit. I began to doubt that I could do it. I kept saying, why doesn’t he come, get him out.”
“At a certain point, having left my body, I didn’t remember much of my birth until my team sat with me to process my birth, which I found to be so healing and helpful,” she continued continued before thanking her “amazing partner.” Cannon for his assistance with this process.

Tiesi added at the end of the video that he was doing “perfectly”.
