Nick Cannon is speaking out about his decision to insure his "most valuable body part."
The comedian and television host, 43, revealed last month that he decided to get insurance on his testicles, and now, he's explaining his thought process behind the surprising decision.
"I had to insure my most valuable assets," Cannon told Entertainment Tonight. "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.’"

Although he has had several children in a relatively short amount of time, he clarified that the decision isn't a sign that he's planning on having more.
"[I'm] just making sure nothing goes wrong," he shared.
The original announcement was shared on Instagram in a collaboration with Dr. Squatch, a personal care brand that caters to men.
"It’s official!" Cannon wrote in the post, shared last month. "I have the most valuable balls in the world! @drsquatch has insured them for $10M through their Ball-to-Ball Coverage."
The video that accompanies the statement, an advertisement for Dr. Squatch, included a disclaimer that reads, "Dr. Squatch does not actually sell insurance products. We do, however, sell products to care for and protect your balls." It does seem that Cannon is the exception.

"I'm chilling right now," he told People earlier this year. "There's no plans on the horizon as of yet. It's so funny, everybody's always trying to get me to have more kids. It's like, 12 ain't enough?"
