Hartconfessed to the prankon Monday in an Instagram post featuring the same photo Cannon shared earlier after receiving the silly gift.

“I see u got my gift@nickcannon….GOTCHA BITCH!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂….Now u don’t have an excuse because the condoms are free 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️☺️☺️ #PrankWars,” the actor and comedian wrotealongside the image.

In the comment section, Cannon replied, “This is not a laughing matter Kevin!!!! 🤦🏾‍♂️🖕🏾🖕🏾.”

Before Hart came clean, Cannon seemedunaware of who sent him the condom vending machinewhen he first shared the gift on Instagram.

“Looks like somebody just sent me an earlyValentine’s Daygift!! Vending Machine full of Magnums,” hecaptioned the shotof himself pointing at the device, which came complete with a red bow on top.

The day after announcing that he and Tiesi, 30, are expecting, Cannon got candid about his “celibacy journey” on his talk show after vowing in October that he was going to “chill out” and try to “be the best father I can be, the best businessman I can be.”

And though he is no longer celibate, Cannon believes it was helpful after learning that he was going to be a father for the eighth time: “I felt like I was out of control and honestly,celibacy did help me through the journeyof getting one with myself and being able to deal with this.”
