Nick Cannon's antics forced him off the radar. |
The 40-year old entertainer was fired out the "cannon" at ViacomCBS. They pulled the plug on Wild 'N Out and removed all of his presence from the network.
He also is on the bubble at Disney. The Fox Network has signaled that he could be replaced once The Masked Singer returns for another season.
Cannon had a few videos on YouTube demonetized and removed. And now, he's facing a backlash from many in the entertainment industry for his comments which some considered anti-Semitic and racist.
Cannon hosted former Public Enemy rapper Professor Griff on his podcast. The two discussed the true Hebrew. Cannon revisited the statements of Griff and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
The podcast went viral. It attracted conservative outrage and condemnation from the Anti-Defamation League. It reached the boardroom where chairwoman Shari Redstone got wind of it.
She and the board ordered MTV leaders to fire the "Cannon."
Many Black entertainers and athletes came to Cannon's defense and said that they overreacted.
Sean "Puffy" Combs known as Diddy had offered Cannon a spot at Revolt TV saying he has a place to "come home" and said that he owns a "truly black-owned" media company.
Cannon apologized for his remarks through social media but also left a cryptic message which got folks thinking he may harm himself.
Morning radio family. I have decided to take some time away from my radio show so I can commit myself to deeper, more thorough reflection and education.— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) July 16, 2020

I hurt an entire community and it pained me to my core, I thought it couldn’t get any worse. Then I watched my own community turn on me and call me a sell-out for apologizing. Goodnight. Enjoy Earth🙏🏾💙— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) July 17, 2020

Cannon is a media personality, actor, comedian, rapper, singer, television host, game show host, writer, podcaster, and media mogul. He was married to Mariah Carey after a few weeks of dating.
He is the father of three with one on the way.
Cannon has been engaged in a long standing feud with Eminem. Cannon called Em the "white devil" and released a series of singles on his mixtape calling him out for "stealing Black culture."
The Daily Beast did a report on how Black entertainers are now embracing anti-Semitism.
Sean Combs is willing to hire Nick Cannon despite the controversy. |
We still have a long way to go before we start tossing accusations of being "anti-Semitic" when you're not.
I have no hatred of any race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, economic and social standings.
I do not like the United States and its controversial support of the Israeli government and the apartheid going on there.
Now once again, I can criticize Israel as a country and government without accusations of being "anti-Semitic." Hell I can be anti-Semitic if I wanted to. This is a free country. However, in the workplace, the public theater and public opinion, I rather stay neutral and out of the limelight.
However, I will continue to criticize Israel for its brutal treatment of people of color, children and the proxy wars created by its secret military force. They have destroyed the land of the Palestinian people. That is not a religious attack on the Jewish faith.
Israel has been a thorn in the world. The United States has endorsed policies that amount to genocide of a broken people. Israel has placed blockades on the Gaza Strip and continues to destroy property of those living in the West Bank. They continue to violate the United Nations policies on building on occupied land by the Palestine government. They continue to kill innocent children for no fucking reason.
Zionism is not Jewish. It's philosophy that Israel is entitled sovereignty despite the rules.
