Professor Griff Applauds Nick Cannon & Shames 50 Cent In Hour-Long Response To Anti-Semitic Controversy

    Professor Griff of Public Enemy fame found himself swallowed up in the Nick Cannon controversy this week after a clip of their Cannon’s Class podcast went viral, leading ViacomCBS to fire the longtime Wild ‘N Out host.

    In an Instagram TV post he titled “Nick C, Viacom and the Truth,” the controversial rap figure expounded on the situation for 60 minutes.

    After Griff thanked Cannon for providing the platform, he made a public plea for 50 Cent’s phone number and seemed shocked when he learned Cannon took down the original interview from YouTube. But, he went on to praise Cannon for standing up for himself in his official rebuttal to ViacomCBS.

    “Very well put, very well written and it shows the human side which is a beautiful thing,” he said. “Now can anyone on the other side be human enough to read that and listen to that, and come and sit down at the table and talk? As long as y’all been calling us n*ggers and all the other things you call us, and for us to tolerate the madness and not go apeshit. You mean to tell me as well written as that was … and the man poured out his heart, letting you know ‘if I erred and I’ll apologize for anything, just show me the error. Show me what I said that was wrong.’ Beautiful, great response Nick and we really appreciate that, and it shows your growth and it shows who you are as a human being.”

    Griff then asked ViacomCBS where its “humility” and “compassion” was and continued defending Cannon, asking, “Can someone tell me what was anti-Semitic about this interview?”

    Griff, who was fired from Public Enemy in 1989 for making anti-Semitic comments, then broached the topic of melanin, something they discussed on the Cannon’s Class podcast and what enraged a whole gaggle of people.

    “The people who don’t have [melanin] … are a little less … so they’re acting out of fear, they’re acting out of low self-esteem,” Cannon told Griff. “They’re acting out of a deficiency, so therefore they only way that they can act is evil. They have to rob, steal, rape, kill and fight in order to survive … so then these people that didn’t have what we have — and when I say we, I mean the melaninated people — they had to be savages. They had to be barbaric … so they’re the ones that are actually closer to animals. They are the true savages.”

    So, Griff decided to look up the word “melanin” and proceeded to explain, “Melanin — your nerves and brain cannot operate without black melanin. Are you listening White people? This is why Nick mentioned melaninated people and the fact that we have a high concentration of melanin. Few people know that melanin is found in almost every organ of the body and is necessary in order for the brain and nerves to operate, eyes to see and cells to reproduce.”

    Toward the end of the video, Griff expressed his disappointment in Fiddy for clowning Cannon on a public platform like Instagram.

    “When I read what 50 Cent said, I wasn’t surprised man, but I was like, ‘Damn bro, that’s another Black man you talking about 50 Cent, can we just like chill?'” he said. “I’m sure you can get ahold of Nick and have a conversation with him, like I did with you today 50 Cent. I didn’t come at you, bro. I said if anybody know 50 Cent, give him my phone number. But c’mon man — don’t do that to Nick where people can read this stuff that you wrote about this brother. Come on, bro.”

    Cannon has since apologized to the Jewish community for his perceived anti-Semitic rhetoric and has been allowed to keep his job at FOX as the host of The Masked Singer.

    1. Nick popped shit and then apologized like a SUCKA. Deleted all evidence of that interview with Griff like it never happened. Anyway we all know the only reason 50 was clowning Nick was because of their past “feud/beef”, which stemmed from 50 defending Eminem from Nick when he decided to talk shit on Eminem in interviews years later for no reason. Now that I recall Nick was being racist towards Em too. 50 will clown anyone at any time. Black, white, Jooish, gay, trans, rich, poor, Asian, old, young, etc.

    2. As a white person who joined rallys and signed petitions to end racism i see where this is going ..black people as a whole online have supposed these blantant racist remarks by nick cannon. Showed me all i needed to know, to know ill never sign another petition or rally again.

      1. If that was the case then you never supported us to begin with. It’s like a person saying they will go somewhere they really don’t want to go and as soon as something small happens you use that as an excuse to leave.

        1. Why would i support ending white supremecy justso black supremecy can take over in its place? So feel how you want to idc bc now i will no longer engange. I wont speak up a drop bc i seen how black ppl feel. Just go to twitter and various websites thts posted this story to see what i mean

        2. Bewitness, why do you need white people to ‘support us’? If your asses are against whites why do you need them so damn bad? Aren’t you against so-called white supremacy? Than leave them alone. You’re licking Cools ass badly. Blacks should take Malcolm X’s advice when he said to never trust a white liberal. You people are so stupid that Hispanics are quickly replacing your asses while you loot around and riot about “white supremacy”. South Central is becoming Guatemala, and they get social services and you get the scraps. What about all the Asians who have kids surpassing your kids in academia? Some Asians get here and some speak no English yet they don’t go around shooting their own like your people do.

      2. Honestly you’re judging a whole race of folks for the actions of one person. You are assuming that all black people think the same which is not true. That all black people are just one collective without their own individual voices. Just because you rally and signed a few petitions doesn’t really mean much. It’s the ongoing support for equality that really counts and you giving up so easy and making such a harsh judgement is leading me to think that you weren’t really trying to be an ally for black folks. It’s like me saying all white people are racist just because a famous white actor said something racist and it came out, so now due to his actions I’m going to judge the whole race based of the actions of one person when one person doesn’t and can not speak for their entire race. If you are truly an ally, then I suggest you think about this and change for the better, or not.

        1. Yikes, Black people have the same rights everyone else has. How the fuck does a clown like Nick Cannon make 70k an episode as the host of some stupid ass game show? Is he oppressed? What about LeBron? Is a white man more privileged than that rich crybaby? Oprah? Tyler Perry? Lee Daniels? I’m tired of this bullshit lie that blacks don’t have rights.

        2. Uhhhhh? You missed the notion? Mr cool was evidently directing his message at the colt behind this and wait…. did you say not to blame a whole culture due to one man’s action? Agreed, but that’s not the case with you. Look at all the hate being spread by almost every celebrity disgrace full shit said like this clown cannon I dont judge a whole culture for his shit ass thought process but do know theres lots that are brainwashed by colorism which in the end is the true problem brainwashed essentially and telling everyone how to think I mean and what we dont stand next to you to the bitter end mabey it’s because the majority of yall dont even know what you’re fighting for you dont know what you even want aside from spreading hate against white people now which in return was never how ALL white people treated you we dont walk around calling anyone the n word and I just saw an article with cannon I believe crying about for years white people make fun of us in movies or we get a bad role what the fuck do you want should we make black only movies black only.schools what kind of world would that be give your damn heads a shake up in canada same damn thing the indigenous people sponge of tax payers money like a mutha focker they get free schooling all sorts of “privileges” now does that .ake me a racist for saying facts and it seems yall doing the same thing just for power and self envy? I dont get it now elaborate I want facts i want an answer as to what will come of this and or what do yall really want

      3. If this is your thinking then you either never signed or rallied for shit, or you did it just to seem cool.
        I’ve suffered racism from white people personally and it has never made me hate the entire race.
        You should know that people online are either trolls or ignorant… Most likely both. But I shouldn’t even have to be telling you this.
        You’re not anti-racism if you give up the fight because of internet comments.
        Go back to the drawing board, sonny.

      4. You need to understand that your country is fucked up, black or white. The BLM shit is divisive, the flag/anthem/military shit is complete bullshit… Few people are preaching messages of love and unity.
        Yes, black people should be angry for all of that shit that goes down in Babylon, but you don’t fight hate with hate.
        I don’t even see a solution for y’all cuz y’all just love to be divisive and hateful.

      5. This guy is a fraud. He never did anything of the sort. And if he did WHICH I HIGHLY DOUBT The fact you’d cut and run at the first sign of some nonsense means the movement didn’t need you anyway. Probably were an agent.

        1. Yeah because everyone you don’t agree with is an “agent”. Smfh grow up little kid. Would you support a cause that calls your ethnic group “evil”, “savages”, and ” closer to animals”? BLM won’t come out and denounce these antisemitic statements but you expect white folks to march with you and advocate for you? Get fucked bozo.

      6. Same feeling here. Fuck it, they on their own. Too much anti white racism goin’ on, they are nothing but hypocrites and the white people at these rallies need to have their heads checked. Besides doing that nonsense in the middlle of a pandemic and it’s the perfect thing for Trump to use to swing the odds in his favor again, there’s a line between pro-black and being a dirty racist and that line is being crossed too much for to even give a shit about their whole BLM crap. Fuck Floyd. Not in a million years you’ll see me take to the streets over a guy who committed robberies and passing on fake 20 USD bills.

    3. I don’t agree with Nick at all on anything he said. That being said, I believe in free speech too so my support goes to Nick and shame on Viacom for shutting him down.

      Cancel culture is garbage in my opinion

      1. Free speed does not freedom from consequences. Nick is not going to jail. You probably need a better understanding of what the “freedom of speech” entails.

        He said something incredibly stupid and deserves the consequences

    4. This clown says people without melanin are less…how the fuck y’all get enslaved all those years by lesser people? How can you be oppressed by “lesser” people? Sounds like you punking your people man…you better be careful before someone calls Mariah to put you in your place, I’m sure she’d be delighted to come back around and bully your ass again

    5. The only point we should be talking about is these guys are saying melanin makes you a better, more thoughtful human. I have googled, yahooed, reddit-ed everything I can and there is nothing saying that’s the case. Again the Left is so confident right now that they are making up science. Even the MSM who are going at Nick aren’t talking about the fact that he made up some complete bullshit that no scientist on the face of the Earth agrees with.

      1. Look up Dr. Francess Cress Welsing. Also look up a book called the Iceman inheritance by Michael Bradley

        1. Dr. Francess? That goofy bitch that was blaming whitey for everything 2 years ago. I looked her up, she’s a delusional idiot. And?

    6. Nick cannon is a racist. Period. This guy placating him is also a racist. It’s funny. He has a the audacity to talk down to 50 for clowning Nick because they are both black, but most black Americans are quick to talk down to black conservatives who don’t share the same views, and say worse about them. Only certain black lives matter. The one’s who agree with this shitty narrative. All this is doing is waking up the silent majority.

    7. That is so painful to watch… Nick making up bulshit after bulshit and the other guy ignorantly humming along. I really can’t believe how stupid people can be

    8. Tell these celebrity activist clowns to pack their shit and go live in Africa somewhere, pick any damn country that will have your asses. In fact, go try living in Egypt and see how much the people of the world like black Americans. Lol here is a clue: nobody likes black Americans and it’s because of idiots like Nick Cannon, TI, Snoop, etc. Go live somewhere else and see if they put up with your cry baby shit “I’m a rich oppressed baby” asses.

      1. You know their are many Black Americans that travel outside the U.S. They don’t have a problem of not being well-liked by foreigners.. White Americas have a growing hatred towards them from foreigners due to our imperialism and being the “world police” So, you’re living in a delusional Trump utopia.. where you tell black americans to leave if we don’t like it.. While white americans can’t leave… because they are not liked. You’d be better off telling foreigners you’re Canadian.

    9. I’m with Griff! I couldn’t catch any “oh my god statements”. Just look at game of thrones, Vikings, etc. To see the savagery, which doesn’t even scratch the surface. It’s well documented and celebrated in western culture.

    10. This proves one thing: FUCK WITH EMINEM AND YOUR ENTIRE WORLD COMES CRASHING DOWN. Fxxking fools.

    11. WhiteS say how blacks are all racist and this and that but guess what? Y’all STILL love our music And culture…. y’all just hate US as a whole smh….all it took was ONE black man to says something white don’t like, now look at em….. couldn’t wait to start saying “fuck blacks” and “they’re on their own” and “I’ll never support a rally of theirs again” what a joke!!! You know how much racism we have Ahmad to endure and still most of us don’t hate all whites…. one black man says something and all of a sudden “it’s all blacks” y’all are always showing y’all true colors….

      1. Not your culture … the culture belongs to all those that helped create it and no matter how many times you scream it’s yours :.. it won’t change the fact that white people have been a part of hip-hop since it’s creation, as mc’s, as producers, and as executives… so shut up … black people generalize every white person believing we are all these racist piece of shits and white people owe you something …. sorry bud … no one promised a life without struggle …. that’s how life works … You have been social engineered to hate white people and cry victim if life isn’t perfect or you don’t have a mansion or 12 cars in the driveway like cribs … if you don’t agree with something it’s racism … fuck off … white supremacy is a joke … but a better joke is black supremacy :.. you are all flucking hypocrites

      2. Sounds like someone else doesn’t know what accountability is. You want to hide behind things that are done wrong to “prove a point.” No one has said any of those things you just rattled off. Sounds like some self loathing issues.

    12. Just dropping in to send a shout out to all my Yakubian brothers and sisters out there. Make sure you rock your SPF30, the struggle is real.

    13. MAN YOU KNOW FIF LIKE JOKES MORE THAN HIS BLACK COMMUNITY. THIS THE MAN WHO MADE FUN OF BANKS BECAUSE BANKS CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT HIS FATHER.

    14. And all us biracial humans crowd around like damn they both fucked-up make us. What barbaric savages we all are. God made all racist. Racism is a diversion. We need to be trying to prevent this Apocalypse and on some real live shit, before it’s too late. There’s an evil person for every race. Every race has it’s most loving person. Every race has a genius. And modern day scientists of all races. They are not to be messed with

    15. Fuck anyone who don’t like what nick said mfs mad because he told the truth its is what it is they hate when u black n successful and they will do anything to stop him Tha TRUTH hurts fake insecured mfs Fuck all who oppose wit a broken glass dildo included 50 cent bring another black man down willie lynch lovin ass sambo

    16. This is NOT the time to attached the local #BLM activist to comments made by Black Celebrities. Many Black celebrities are just as responsible for keeping poor black communities in the “sunken place” as a much as white supremacy. They are not listening to Dave tell them that this “Is not their time, they need to shut up and be quiet and listen” Of course, they can’t follow those instructions… they’re still celebrities… the public is also giving them too much attention. If the public gave more attention to the child sex trafficking rings in the hood getting busted by community task forces.. they would know why black-on-black has went on an uptick. The resources used to protect these human trafficking operations are being reallocated to BLM protest for “Law & Order” .. Also COVID-19 lockdowns made human trafficking difficult to continue it’s underground operations. And the MSM on both sides are not covering it… They are covering this crap.. and Will & Jada marriage… and everything else under the sun, that Dave Chappelle said not do… That should tell you all you need to know, who’s trying to control a narrative.
