Nick Cannon sent out a late night tweet on Thursday (July 16) that raised some concern among his fanbase.
The now former Wild ‘N Out host was entangled in controversy all week after some comments he made during an interview with Professor Griff of Public Enemy fame were perceived to be anti-Semitic and anti-White. As a result, he was fired from ViacomCBS and is no longer at the helm of one of the network’s biggest shows.
After issuing not one but two apologies to the Jewish community, the FOX network announced he’d be able to retain his hosting duties for The Masked Singer, but that didn’t sit well with some people either. Some people deemed him a sellout, which appears to be at the center of what’s currently troubling Cannon.
“I hurt an entire community and it pained me to my core, I thought it couldn’t get any worse,” he wrote. “Then I watched my own community turn on me and call me a sell-out for apologizing. Goodnight. Enjoy Earth.”
He added, “Y’all can have this planet. I’m out!”
Cannon’s messages were quickly deemed to be suicidal and the support for his mental health came pouring in. For example, media personality Karen Civil reminded Cannon of all the positive things he’s done for not just the culture but also the world.
“take time for yourself,” Civil wrote. “you have committed to amplifying so many black women in executive roles in your companies, as well as all of the countless work that you have done/ do for Haiti! Give yourself Grace.”
Following ViacomCBS’ decision to sever its relationship with Cannon, the 39-year-old expressed how disappointed he was that a company he’s worked with for over two decades were so quick to let him go.

At the same time, he demanded ownership of Wild ‘N Out and an apology from the media giant. So far, he’s received neither. In the wake of the fallout, he’s committed to further educating himself on the plight of Jewish people, saying, “I want to express my gratitude to the Rabbis, community leaders and institutions who reached out to me to help enlighten me, instead of chastising.
“I want to assure my Jewish friends, new and old, that this is only the beginning of my education — I am committed to deeper connections, more profound learning and strengthening the bond between our two cultures today and every day going forward.”
Cannon has since announced a hiatus from his Power 106 radio show as well.
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY HEY HEY GOOOODDDDBBBYYYEEEE
And neither community had a problem with you before you opened your mouth…
I’m praying for this brother. Hopefully the ancestors will protect him and guide him in the right direction.
This bitch in the article was like “wait Nick, you helped som many black women and black people im Haiti.” The bitch didn’t stop to think how racist that sounds to someone who isn’t a SJW moron. LOL. “Don’t do anything silly Ashton Kutcher because your being accused of racism. Remember all of those WHITE women you helped out and all of the characters you did in Sweden?” GTFOH! Stupid ass double standard having hypocrites.
Why are comments like this not deleted? If you’re going to censor certain political or philosophical viewpoints than it’s only fair that comments like this should be removed.
There’s this thing called the first amendment. I know we like to forget about it when something we don’t like is said. I know it’s ok when transracial Shaun King incited violence, and tells people to destroy church windows with Jesus on it. Let’s extend it to everyone right or wrong. Keep in mind the first amendment does not cover inciting violence.
I’ve never incited violence but my post have been deleted. I don’t even use derogatory language. The thing isn’t the first amendment. It something else and it stinks like a wet dog.
I’d like to hear about what it is. Cause it’s usually conservatives that get silenced. Of all color by the way.
I think the comment didn’t get defeated because it makes a solid point. This guy is under fire for how he went on a racist rant, then this lady is commending him on helping out ONLY his own race. If that had happened to a white celebrity HE would be extra cancelled and she would to. I don’t understand how slow someone would have to be to net get something so simple. BTW. I prefer the smell of wet dog over the sounds of invalid excuses and make-believe rhetoric.
Bye.. You made this bed Nick.. Don’t play victim now.
So the black card aint work he gotta pull the suicidal card? This dude. Just be rich and be happy knockin down some of the finest women in the wold, sheesh.
facts on fax
Black ppl in america expect whites to fight for you but have a mob mentality towards the same folks you want to help you.. backwards. If you want to end racism and remarks it goes for all races
Not black people. Just some dumbasses like Nick Cannon.
Self delete already Nick.
He still took time out of his busy day to respond to 50 Cent though. 12 hours later he is suicidal. Go away Minister Cannon hopefully your melanin kicks in soon.
