Nick Cannon, the multifaceted entertainer known for his television hosting and musical endeavors, has recently made headlines for a rather unusual reason. At 43, aside from his professional achievements, Cannon is famously recognized for his large family, fathering 12 children with six different women. Last month, he took a significant step by insuring his testicles for a whopping $10 million.
In June, it was revealed that Cannon had teamed up with Dr. Squatch, a men’s healthcare brand, to secure an ‘insurance policy’ for his testicles, initially perceived by many as a marketing stunt. However, Cannon clarified in an Instagram post that the brand had evaluated his testicles using their Ball Valuation Tool, assessing factors like size, favorite features, and bedroom maneuvers.
Despite initial skepticism, Cannon confirmed in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly that the insurance policy is indeed genuine. He humorously credited Dr. Squatch for recognizing the worth of his testicles and providing essential protection to continue growing his family tree.
Explaining his decision to Entertainment Tonight, Cannon said, “I had to insure my most valuable assets. You hear about celebrities insuring their legs and other parts, so I thought I should insure my most valuable body part.” This move has sparked speculation that Cannon might be planning to further expand his already large family. However, he clarified that the insurance is more about ensuring safety and does not necessarily indicate plans to have more children.
Cannon further addressed the public’s reaction to his family planning, stating, “Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest, but I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids.”
Through this bold move, Cannon has not only secured his legacy but also highlighted the importance he places on his reproductive health, all while making a statement about his personal choices and the value he attributes to his role as a father.
