<p id=”par-1_50″>Mariah Carey famously doesn’t keep up with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/mariah-carey-made-nick-cannon-wait-marriage-sleeping-together.html/”>her ex-husband Nick Cannon</a>‘s comings and goings. So it was unsurprising that she hadn’t heard about Cannon’s manhood-related insurance policy. On <em>Watch What Happens Live</em>, the “Type Dangerous” singer commented on the announcement while promoting her 16th studio album, <em>Here for It All</em>.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-mariah-carey-didn-t-know-her-ex-husband-insured-his-manhood-for-10-million”>Mariah Carey didn’t know her ex-husband insured his manhood for $10 million</h2>
<p id=”par-2_89″>In 2024, Cannon disclosed that he had taken out a $10 million insurance policy on his balls, divided at $5 million per testicle. The TV host framed the move as protecting what he called his “most valuable assets” in light of his role as a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/nick-cannon-blaming-mariah-carey-having-12-kids.html/”>father to 12 children</a>. The idea began partly as a joke, but Cannon moved forward with it in hopes of any payout from a loss going toward his offspring. The insurance was done in a marketing collaboration with men’s personal care brand Dr. Squatch.</p>
<p id=”par-3_53″>Mariah Carey has never been one to keep tabs on her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/why-did-mariah-carey-and-nick-cannon-divorce.html/”>ex-husband’s every move</a>, so it wasn’t exactly shocking that she hadn’t heard about Cannon’s latest insurance stunt. During an appearance on Bravo’s <em><a href=”https://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-happens-live-with-andy-cohen/season-22/episode-156/watch-what-happens-live-101″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Watch What Happens Live</a></em>, Carey played Cohen’s “Plead the Fifth” game, where she could answer a tough question or pass.</p>
<p id=”par-4_55″>Cohen asked Carey about her reaction to the $10 million arrangement. She asked, “When did this happen?” before expressing a huge sigh. Carey paused before saying, “Lord, help me.” Cohen pushed, asking, “Are his balls worth $10 million to you?” The mother of two laughed before stating, “I’ve got to go to the next question.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_52″>Previously, Carey shared that she stays out of Cannon’s personal business, especially regarding his 10 children with other women. She <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/mariah-carey-said-best-not-talk-nick-cannon-asked-co-parenting.html/”>told Gayle King on <em>CBS Mornings</em></a>, “I kind of feel like it’s best if I don’t talk about him because he can just be in his own world. No offense to him.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_32″>Cannon has since expressed regret about not raising his insurance policy to $12 million. This would bring the total payout to $1 million per child, including the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/mariah-carey-answered-wants-kids-horrible-entertainment-industry.html/”>twins he shares with Carey</a>.</p>

Nick Cannon Said He Probably Wouldn’t Be Alive if It Wasn’t for Mariah Carey </a>

<p id=”par-7_47″>During “Plead the Fifth,” Cohen also asked Carey about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/inside-eminem-mariah-careys-feud.html/”>her feud with Eminem</a>. “This summer, a music producer claimed the reason why you and Eminem started beefing was because he approached you about playing his mom in <em>Eight Mile</em>?” Cohen said. “Is there any truth to that?”</p>
<p id=”par-8_62″>Carey explained, “From what I heard, there is truth to that. But I don’t think he actually — well, who knows who approached who.” Cohen pushed, “Did that ignite the beef?” “Um, no,” Carey stammered. “I mean, maybe. It depends what he’s thinking. I really don’t care. Like, whatever he’s said, then I’m that. Fine. Not really. But that’s a rap lyric.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_9″>She also addressed her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/mariah-carey-mightve-helped-clarify-dig-reportedly-made-jennifer-lopez-years-ago.html/”>alleged feud with Jennifer Lopez</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-10_56″>Cohen mentioned, “Can you believe how much ‘I don’t know her’ has become part of the lexicon?” The audience laughed as Carey responded, “I mean, the thing is, I was being honest when I said it. So I don’t know how it became so big. Honesty isn’t really something that becomes big most of the time.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_44″>Cohen was alluding to Carey’s comment during a 2001 interview on a German TV show. The “Fantasy” singer was asked about Jennifer Lopez as a contemporary. Carey replied, “I don’t know her.” Later, she clarified that she’s “forgetful” and doesn’t remember meeting Lopez. </p>
<p id=”par-12_60″>Although this may not have been <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/mariah-carey-say-this-shady-act-is-what-started-her-feud-with-jennifer-lopez.html/”>intended as shade</a>, Carey not remembering Lopez, who was already a superstar, made the “I’m Real” singer seem insignificant at best. J.Lo has said they’ve met “many times” and seemed surprised Carey doesn’t remember. Regardless, “I don’t know her” became instantly meme-worthy — shorthand for being shady and aloof with someone you don’t like.</p>
<p id=”par-13_25″>Cohen concluded the topic, saying, “To clarify, you still do not know her, right?” Carey responded, “How can I suddently know her, you know? [Laughs]”</p>
