After 12 Kids, Nick Cannon Takes Unbelievable Step to Protect His Legacy
Nick Cannon Insures His Testicles for $10 Million — Here’s Why He Did It!
TV host and comedian Nick Cannon is no stranger to making headlines. But his latest move may be his boldest yet: Cannon has insured his testicles for a whopping $10 million! The father of 12 made the shocking revelation during a podcast interview and explained why he considers this part of his body his “most valuable asset.”
Let’s dive into what led to this unusual decision, what it means for his future, and his plans on possibly expanding his already large family.
The Big Reveal on Podcast
Nick Cannon Drops the Bombshell on Tea Time with Raven & Miranda
Nick Cannon appeared on the Tea Time with Raven & Miranda podcast on May 1, 2025, where he casually disclosed a jaw-dropping fact: he’s officially insured his testicles.
“It started off like, ‘Yo, this would be a good joke,’ but we really went through with it,” Nick said with a laugh.
What began as a joke ended up becoming a fully legitimate insurance policy. Cannon even confirmed that the documents are stored in his office. He sealed the deal after filming a commercial for the natural soap brand Dr. Squatch in 2024, where the brand jokingly asked him to identify his most prized possession.
His response? “My balls.”
The $10 Million Policy
Why Would Anyone Do This?
According to Nick, this wasn't just a publicity stunt. He said that if anything ever happened to him, particularly a physical injury, the policy ensures a financial benefit for his many children.
“It’s legit. If something happens to them, the insurance goes to my kids,” he said.
This decision comes as no surprise to fans who know Cannon’s history of celebrating fatherhood. With 12 children across multiple partners, his decision is just another way he’s making sure his legacy — and his offspring — are protected.
