Nick Cannon, the popular American television host, has revealed the reason for the $10-million insurance policy on his testicles.

The father of 12 explained that he insured his testicles because they are his “most valuable assets.”

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Cannon said he took the decision because other celebrities, especially athletes, were also insuring valuable body parts like legs.

“I had to insure my most valuable assets,” he said. “Because you hear about like all these different celebrities insuring their legs … so I was like, ‘Hey, well, I got to insure my most valuable body part.”

He added that he’s just “making sure nothing goes wrong” with his testicles, even though he doesn’t have plans to expand his family anytime soon.
