Scott told Zen, after Zen had sung and waved, that her dad also loved Zen. Zen smiled, waved, and then smiled again.
Cannon announced the shocking news on Tuesday, December 7. Nick Cannon Show that Zen had passed away after suffering from a medical condition called hydrocephalus, which he described as a “pretty much a malignant, midline brain tumor.”
