Nick Cannon says that having his testicles insured started out as a 'good joke'
Nick Cannon thought that having his testicles insured would be a "good joke" before actually deciding to go through with it.
The 43-year-old comedian - who has 12 children with different partners - was approached by cosmetics company Dr Squatch over the idea of insuring his private parts for $10 million but wasn't entirely serious about the idea before actually putting it in place.
Speaking on the 'Tea Time' podcast, he told Raven-Symone and Miranda Maday: "Well, see, that's the thing, I personally didn't. "Someone else took out the insurance policy out on them. It started off like 'Well that would be a good joke' but we really went through with it. Dr Squatch, who is known for like, manscaping and all that stuff, said that a lot of celebrity women were insuring their legs in case something .
"They were like 'What's your most valuable asset, Nick?' and I was like 'My balls!' And I got the insurance policy in my office, it's legit.
The 'Wild n Out' star has 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, as well as Golden Sagon, seven, Powerful Queen, four, and Rise Messiah, two, with Brittany Bell.
He is also father to three-year-old twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, three, and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin, two, with Abby De La Rosa and Legendary Love, two, with Bre Tiesi and Onyx Ice, also two, with LaNisha Cole.
He and Alyssa Scott have two-year-old daughter Halo Marie together, while their son Zen died at just five months old from brain cancer in December 2021.
Nick admitted that he and his team went "back and forth" on the pracicalities of the insurance policy, but revealed that should something happen to one of his balls, his children will automatically receive the money.
He said: "We were back and forth on this because it's $5 million per testicle, and if I happen to lose one, all the money goes to my kids. I'll cash it in, yeah, a couple mil!"

Nick Frost feared food obsession would kill him
Nick Frost feared his food addiction would "kill" him. The 53-year-old actor - who has a son, six, and four-year-old daughter with partner Hayley, and a teenage son from a previous relationship - saw his weight balloon to over 490lbs after he gave up drugs and alcohol, but he soon realised that swapping his vices for a dependancy on food wasn't a good idea either. He told The Observer: 'Six years ago I stopped taking any kind of drink or mind-bending substance... 'Food had been my first addiction when I was 10. 'And I realised that it's fine to stop all that s*** [drink and drugs]. But then going in the car and parking down by the river when it was nighttime and eating a tier of a wedding cake, that's going to f****** kill you, as well.' Nick - who turned to comfort eating as a child when his sister died from an asthma attack at the age of 18 - realised he needed to make changes. Discussing his motivation, he said: 'Just a realisation that I would die. And a realisation that I had very young children, and this is how I am, and they're going to be left without a dad. It was like, 'What the f***are you doing, you nutter?' " The How To Train Your Dragon actor admitted he is considering his legacy and how he will be remembered when he dies. He said: 'I hate the word 'legacy', but there's always a part of me that wants to be remembered when I die. That's why I want to be buried, so I've got a little headstone somewhere. I write in the cookbook that the only thing I've got of my mum's was a f****** spoon. That's it. And I think, 'I'd want to be more than a spoon.'' Nick previously explained his compulsive tendencies got worse during his 40s and puts a lot of it down to feelings of loneliness. He told The Guardian newspaper: "I think there was a loneliness in me. I'd lost all my family. And you get to a point in your life where your friends get married and have children, and you're left again. There's part of me then that just wants to dig in and build a wall. And it just becomes a bigger and a bigger thing until you become an awfully sad, mentally ill human being."

KISS fans underwhelmed by Nick Jonas biopic casting
The singer has signed on to play frontman Paul Stanley in the KISS movie, Shout It Out Loud, set to be directed by Charlie's Angels and Transformers director, McG. However fans of the glam-rock group were quick to express confusion and in some cases unhappiness over the appointment of Nick, 32, believing his clean-cut image clashed with the rock and roll aesthetic. "This casting just assures I will never watch this," one person commented on a Reddit post about the casting news, while another simply added, "Oh f**k no" and a third wrote, "Absolutely not, that's awful".

Couple trigger TikTok by taking baby - but not toddler
Don't miss out on the headlines from Parenting. Followed categories will be added to My News. The internet has slammed a couple's decision to go on holiday with their baby, while leaving their toddler at home. Georgia and Chris Brown, both 30, booked a four-day stay in Morocco for a family getaway. They brought along their four-month-old son, Harry, but left their two-year-old, George, at home with his grandmother. Want to join the family?

RELATED: I made my teens sign a 'travel contract' before our family holiday "I wasn't sure on the idea of it at first, but I'm so glad we did it" Taking to TikTok, the couple shared their experience. 'POV: You leave your first baby at home to take your second baby on their first holiday where it can be all about them and not their big sibling,' she wrote in text on the video. In the caption, she admitted she'd been unsure at first. 'I wasn't sure on the idea of it at first, but I'm so glad we did it,' she explained. 'It was so amazing to make those one-on-one memories with our second.' But the internet didn't hold back. 'This is horrible,' wrote one commenter. 'I fear you did it the wrong way around,' another wrote. A third warned: 'this is exactly why older siblings feel left out.' 'This is rotten,' a fourth criticised. image: TikTok/gettingreadywithteddy RELATED: This is what parents do after adult kids get on flights "We wanted to give him something that was all about him" In response, Georgia posted a follow up video after TikTok went 'mad about it.' 'Just to clarify this will only be for his first ever holiday and any other holidays after will be family holidays,' she revealed. She also said the trip was about giving their second child the same memories they had created with their first. 'People are saying it's either favouritism or we don't have the money and that's definitely not the case,' she clarified. 'As a second child his life very much revolves around his brother's schedule so we wanted to give him something that was all about him.' Georgia dismissed concerns that the trip could cause George to develop abandonment issues or long-term resentment as 'absolutely crazy.' She insisted he was happy and well cared for by his grandmother, though admitted there was some guilt that he missed out on the Moroccan fun. Since then, the couple has taken two more holidays with both children, refuting claims they "weren't able to take two children" away at once.
