Alyssa Scott, mother of Nick Cannon’s youngest daughter, Halo Marie Cannon, is speaking out after Cannon revealed that he insured his testicles for $10 million.

Cannon first teased the idea months ago, but recently offered more detail during an interview on Tea Time with Raven-Symoné and Miranda Maday, confirming the stunt wasn’t just a gag.

“This is all facts,” Nick said. “It started off like, ‘Yo, this would be a good joke,’ but we really went through with it.”

The 44-year-old media personality, who also shares 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, explained that the concept originated from a branding collaboration with men’s grooming brand Dr. Squatch.

“They were like, ‘Yo, a lot of celebrity women are insuring their legs in case something goes wrong,’” Nick continued. “They were like, ‘Well, what’s your most valuable asset, Nick?’”

He further claimed the policy is both real and on file.

“I got the insurance policy in my office. It’s legit,” he explained. “We actually went back and forth with this. It’s 5 million per testicle and if I happen to lose one, all the money goes to my kids.”

Though Cannon emphasized that the policy would ultimately benefit his children, Scott, who also had a son, Zen, with Cannon before his tragic death from brain cancer in 2021 appeared unimpressed.

In an Instagram Story shared on May 1, she posted a clip from the podcast alongside a pointed message:

“Ha ha haaa. Funny. Any plans on seeing your child? It’s been over a month @nickcannon.”

She didn’t stop there, adding a sarcastic follow-up that called attention to Cannon’s priorities:

“But good to know she’ll get some of your $ if anything happens to your balls…Smh.”

In March of this year, Nick Cannon made it clear that his ever-expanding family might not be complete just yet.

While speaking on his “We Playin’ Spades” podcast, former Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder recounted his vasectomy experience and jokingly suggested Cannon follow suit. “You need to go think about it,” Crowder quipped.

Cannon chuckled at the suggestion, admitting that while it “may be the responsible thing to do,” he’s “not done.” Feeling the playful pressure, he added, “I’m feeling judged!”

Co-host Courtney Bee pushed further, asking for his reasoning. “Why do you want more children?” she asked. Cannon’s reply was simple: “Why not?” When asked whether he envisioned having more kids with one of his six current co-parents or someone new, he shrugged, “I don’t know! I leave it to the Lord.”
