Nick Cannon, the man who seemingly collects children like rare Pokémon, has once again proven he's playing by his own rules – and this time, it involves a $10 million insurance policy on his, ahem, family jewels. Yes, you read that right. The 44-year-old father of twelve (and counting?) revealed this truly ballsy financial decision on the "Tea Time with Raven & Miranda" podcast, and the story is as wild as you'd expect.
What started as a "good joke" with the folks at Dr. Squatch (the purveyors of fine male grooming products) somehow became a very real, very expensive insurance policy. Apparently, inspired by celebrity women insuring their legs, the question of Cannon's "most valuable asset" arose. His answer? Well, you can probably guess. "My balls!" he declared with characteristic bravado
And it's not just talk. Cannon confirmed the policy is legit, sitting right there in his office, with each precious sphere insured for a cool $5 million. The beneficiary? His twelve children, ensuring that even a testicular mishap could contribute to their future. Talk about putting your… well, everything… on the line for your family!
But the Nick Cannon saga doesn't end with million-dollar insurance policies on his nether regions. In the same candid interview, he offered a fascinating glimpse into his relationship with his ever-expanding brood, particularly his oldest kids, twins Monroe and Moroccan, now 14. Forget the awkward parent-teen dynamic – Cannon describes them as his "homies."
"Those my homies," he said with genuine affection. "We hang out, went to the movies this weekend and Raising Canes. I'm just the guy with the license." Imagine hitting up a fast-food joint with Nick Cannon – that's a teenage dream (or nightmare, depending on your perspective!). It paints a picture of a surprisingly laid-back and involved dad, navigating the tricky terrain of raising teenagers in the spotlight.

However, the teenage years come with their own unique brand of brutal honesty, and Cannon isn't immune. He hilariously revealed that his pre-teens have bestowed upon him the rather unflattering nickname: "Cringe Cannon." Ouch! It seems even the coolest dad in Hollywood can't escape the universal teenage tendency to find their parents utterly embarrassing. It's a relatable moment that adds a touch of endearing normalcy to Cannon's otherwise extraordinary life.
Despite the potential for cringe, Cannon seems genuinely open to his kids exploring the entertainment industry, a world he knows all too well. However, he's also fiercely protective, emphasizing that their situation is vastly different from a newcomer trying to break into the scene.
"As the father, I kinda know, I've been here, so I'm never gonna let an agent take advantage of you," he explained. "I'm never gonna allow you to be on set by yourself, like, because this is my world. There is some nepotism that's gonna take place that, like, this is the family business." It's a refreshing take, acknowledging the inherent advantages his children might have while also expressing a desire to shield them from the potential pitfalls of the industry.
So, what do we make of the ever-evolving Nick Cannon? He's a father of twelve with a ten-million-dollar insurance policy on his testicles, who hangs out with his teenage "homies" and gets lovingly dubbed "Cringe Cannon." It's a chaotic, unconventional, and undeniably entertaining picture. He's a walking, talking headline, constantly defying expectations and blurring the lines between celebrity, parenthood, and… well, insuring your most valuable assets. One thing's for sure: life in Nick Cannon's world is never boring, and we're here for every bizarre and heartwarming twist and turn. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're still trying to wrap our heads around that insurance policy!
