The Grammy-winning singer recently shared her candid—and hilarious—reaction to learning the TV show host had insured his testicles for a whopping $10 million. The epic response, however, is to be expected from Carey, who has largely avoided discussing the intimate details about her six-year marriage to the “Drumline” actor in recent years.

Mariah Carey Shares Her Raw Reaction To Learning Nick Cannon Insured His Junk For $10 Million
During a recent appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Carey was left nearly speechless when host Andy Cohen asked for her thoughts on Cannon’s decision to take out a hefty insurance policy on his manhood.
The moment, which has now gone viral on social media, occurred during one of Cohen’s most popular and chaotic games, “Plead the Fifth,” where guests are asked three tough questions and can only avoid answering one of them.
“What was your reaction to Nick Cannon saying in May that he has insured his balls for $10 million?” Cohen asked her, prompting the megawatt A-lister to roll her eyes while shifting in her seat.
Clearly taken aback, Carey asked, “He announced this?” before saying, “Lord, help me.”

Cannon Struggles With The Word ‘Co-Parenting’
Balancing life as a father of 12 with six different women comes with its challenges, and Cannon has previously spoken about how he manages the complex family dynamic. During an episode of his podcast, Cannon responded to someone’s question about his “co-parenting” style, to which he replied, declaring how much he despised that word.
According to him, he wants to avoid placing titles on situations that could cause more harm than good.
He also discussed how he ensures that the mothers of his 12 children maintain their own identities within their small village.
“I don’t bunch them together. I really try my hardest not to be like, ‘Oh yeah, my baby mamas,’ you know, unless I’m telling a joke or something like that, but no one wants to be grouped into anything,” he said.
Cannon Has Learned A Lot, Doesn’t Want Children To Date Men Like Him
During a separate interview, he became even more candid about his relationship with his children, admitting that he hopes his children, specifically his daughters, will live their lives differently from him.
“When you have five daughters and you’re like, ‘All right, I at least want to be able to be true and honest,’ but like I can’t live the same life that I’ve always been living and attempt to right my wrongs in that sense of where like hopefully my daughters learn from my mistakes and not date people like their dad,” he said.
