Nick Cannon has been fired from ViacomCBS after a clip of his Cannon’s Class podcast went viral on Monday (July 13). While speaking to Professor Griff of Public Enemy fame in an episode uploaded to YouTube on June 30, the Power 106 radio personality made some comments perceived to be anti-Semitic.
“It’s never hate speech, you can’t be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people,” Cannon said. “When we are the same people who they want to be. That’s our birthright. We are the true Hebrews.”
He added, “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. 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.”
In 1989, Griff faced similar criticism after saying, “Jews are responsible for the majority of the wickedness in the world,” which led to his dismissal from Public Enemy. But despite his controversial past, Cannon praised Griff and the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and promoted conspiracy theories about the Rothschild banking family and the notion people of African descent are the “true” Jews.

Cannon later addressed the backlash, but didn’t offer an apology.
“Anyone who knows me knows that I have no hate in my heart nor malice intentions,” he tweeted on Monday afternoon. “I do not condone hate speech nor the spread of hateful rhetoric. We are living in a time when it is more important than ever to promote unity and understanding.
“The Black and Jewish communities have both faced enormous hatred, oppression persecution and prejudice for thousands of years and in many ways have and will continue to work together to overcome these obstacles.”
Cannon continued, “When you look at The Media, and other sectors in our nation’s history, African Americans and The people of the Jewish community have partnered to create some of the best, most revolutionary work we know today. (Cont.).
“I am an advocate for people’s voices to be heard openly, fairly and candidly. In today’s conversation about anti-racism and social justice, I think we all including myself must continue educating one another &embrace uncomfortable conversations it’s the only way we ALL get better.”
In a statement obtained by Variety, ViacomCBS — the company behind Cannon’s popular show Wild ‘N Out — was emphatic Cannon’s comments wouldn’t be tolerated — despite his explanation.
“ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism,” the statement read. “We have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast ‘Cannon’s Class’ on YouTube, which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
Nick Cannon Talk Show To Debut Fall 2020
“While we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism, and we are terminating our relationship with him. We are committed to doing better in our response to incidents of anti-Semitism, racism, and bigotry. ViacomCBS will have further announcements on our efforts to combat hate of all kinds.”
But Cannon insisted he meant no harm and fully owned the situation.
“Until then, I hold myself accountable for this moment and take full responsibility because My intentions are only to show that as a beautiful human species we have way more commonalities than differences,” he said. “So let’s embrace those as well as each other. We All Family!”
Doesn’t matter about his opinion, the average person ain’t look for wisdom from Nick Cannon’s corny ass.
Someone tell turban head poser ass Nick to focus on present times when he wants to call out who the savages are. I think it’s the 13% ers who commit 50 % of the crime…. just saying. I mean we have eyes and ears. We see what really going down. He can talk about the joooos all he wants, but Nick should look at his peers a little closer. They aren’t coming out of this smelling like roses either.
Nick Cannon is as much trash as you
You sound equally bigoted and stupid
Fuck Nick Cannon
And the turban he rode in on….
You don’t fight racial hatred with more racial hatred, it’s pretty disheartening that somebody with the knowledge Nick has would feed into this cycle of victim praising and abuser shaming. There’s terrible white people and there’s terrible black people just like there’s terrible people among any racial group of people you can think of.
I can tell you’re white lol stfu and hold your people accountable for the pain they have created.
I can tell you’re black. STFU, you don’t know the pain anyone outside of the US feels. REAL africans would kill to have your life. I work with many Nigerians, Kenyans, south Africans, Ugandan, and algenians, and they fucken hate African Americans. They don’t consider you Africans. They hate your guts, and blame all of you for what you go through. They say you keep yourself down and use slavery as a crutch for being lazy and free loading of the government. And until you hold yourself accountable your own actions, you won’t amount to shit, and will always play victim.
This goof needed to stfu a long time ago. No one likes the guy and yet he always gets gigs

Fuck cancel culture…..but clearly Mr. Wild N Out watched too many Youtube docos during lockdown…with the Matrix Clubbed to Death intro music and shit…
My guy Nick Is on point as usual! Nothing false about what he said, the type of savagery he described is embedded into the DNA of the Neanderthal. Atrocities that span from the birth of known man to now. Finally we get back to the truth.
No the fuck he’s not lol nick has been a cornball agent playing both sides of years, niggas like you are easily fooled by his fake ass, you don’t find it funny this nigga has only been concerned about black issues for the last 6 years? Lol shut your goofy ass up
He has the balls to speak up! Your bum ass still in that twin size bed you were sleeping in since middle school riding the wave of the uncivilized! GTFOH
If you really believe what you said and you generalize the fucked up behavior of a few people to their whole community then you also agree to “black people stink like sweat and when they are not gangbangin and killin each other they only good for singin and dancin”. FOH!
Do you believe all white folks smell like the juice left over from hot dog wrappers, and everywhere white folks touched the earth is slowly turning into deasert
Hilarious stuff, ma’am.
Antichrist
Yt ppl can stand when their truth is spoken about them. When have they not been savages, murderers and thiefs. Yt ppl fucked up the world. Look at their interactions with Asians, Africans, Blacks in America and all other ppl of color around the world.
So then why is it then that blacks are the majorities of murderers in the country? That’s right quick to call out white ppl but refuse to even acknowledge y’all own fuckd up culture. Fix your own sht then come talk to me, cornball.
viacom is part of Sumner Redstone’s media empire. His real name? Murray Rothstein. He is ethnic jooish billionaire. Fun fact: BET, ‘Black’ Entertainment Television is also part of Viacom. The men who wear small hats control you blacks even to this day Lmfao
Mr trying to woke and an activist. Pandering to griff who has said some pretty wild stuff in the past. Pandering. I don’t need to tear another race down to build myself up. Nick know better
Historically, everyone who gives Griff the time of day gets canceled.
That means Griff must have pointed out the real enemy of all people. The joo.
Just another proof how some black people are totally disconnected from reality when they consider themselves as “Semite”. Get the fuck outta here. Y’all ain’t Semite. Y’all African. Period. I guess some black people are having a real complex about their negritude so they make up all these fucked up theories bout their race. SMH
So Judaism, Muslim, and Christian stories/beliefs didn’t start in Africa?
Nah fuckin asshole. All these religions started in a middle eastern region called Palestine. And just to make things straight: Jesus was neither black nor white. His real name was Issa and he was Semite. Fuck y’all American people with your distortion of history.
Which is a Afro Asiatic region(black and brown my bad) so your point is?
Semetic means Afro Asiatic. You have black people who are part of that population who are treated bad by the dominant group in that community. What about Arabs they’re semetic but no one says people who speak against them are anti semetic. The original version of the people who occupy Palestine come from the horn of Africa.
Are you for real ??? Semitic is Afro Asiatic ??? How much fucked up are you ?? Go to the library and pick a book goddamn it before pouring that kind of bullshit on people’s ears ! Semitic is semitic from the Arabian Peninsula. Asiatic are Mongolian people. Afro are African people. Period. Don’t try to argue that one. It pisses me off how people like you are tryin to distort history without any references to back up what their claims. GOH!
The fact that he got cancelled for sayin anti semetic remarks but not for saying white people are evil, lesser than savages tells you all you need to know
. its ok to hate white people but not any other race. And the fact hiphopdx is the only news covering what he said about white people as a whole and not just the jewish people lets you know msm is part of the problem. Respect to hiphopdx for reporting the truth
True colors oozing out them dark people now. But he’s right though, the Zionist is to blame for all wrongings.
Joos and African Americans need to unite because white people make it hard for you live normal lives? Is that the message I’m getting we need to overcome this “white obstacle”.. anyone standing for this should be lined up and shot spreading hate is exactly what is happening a war against white people from all angles because we are the ones to oppose the up.coming new world order we will be the ones.not to take the mark of the beast (vaccine bill gates) we will be the ones fighting for EVERYONES life, joos have been and still are in complete control they are the slave owners to us all, Jesus I know stands next to the good hearted you antichrist will get yours dont you worry!
“They need to be lined up and shot for spreading hate”. You don’t even realize the irony and ignorance in your own words man. This generation is so quick to want someone dead. Like you never made a mistake. Should you have been lined up and shot for the mistakes you made. Of course not. Just other people, right?
I’m sure you post this on all the black ppls comments saying kill white people too right? Agreed that this generous is fkd
Sad the only thing you saw was the first line and really was not to be taken literally the ignorance cannon is showing the pure evil behind it is unfathomable that way of thinking needs to be wiped away completely lockingmpeople up doesn’t solve a damn thing this is no mistake what cannon said big difference in a mistake and a satanist colt
So does this mean no more Wild N Out?? Thank you!!
So this wannabe sjw runs his mouth on some bullshit and gets his soft little ass canceled? Hahahahahahahaha! Love his flurry of tweets too. These clowns talk big shit, then when they called out it’s all about ” Love and Unity”. Lmao kick rocks bitch!
FUCK VIACOM!!
How many people have had their comments deleted from the comments section of this article?
It’s Interesting what happens When you speak your mind VS what big business wants to say. If he were talking about smokin weed and buying Benz wagons, he wouldn’t be a problem for Viacom……
Exactly. Perpetuating negative stereotypes against black people isn’t antiblack but speaking truth is considered a problem. They want even debate the man. One who can cancel someone’s way of making a living has more power. Viacom eats off of Black dysfunctionality. Love and hh, ff and all the other shows yet when certain people are offended that’s when the guns come out.
But it’s cool to scream fk white people a million different ways but you’re not being racist or anything. Clown. If this was a white guy you wouldn’t give one fk about his livelihood. Nick cannon is wealthy gtfo his dk.
Why does he wear that stupid towel on his head? He looks retarded.
I think Nick Cannon is a decent human being, and a talented guy, I do. But honestly, that “Wild’n Out” show is a bad influence on black people and young people in general. It feels like they’re up there perpetuating every ignorant stereotype they can think of. I always felt he was lowering himself on that show. This might be a blessing in disguise for him. Do something more meaningful, you’re capable of it.
I just googled “does lack of melanin make you less compassionate?” and it just said “are you fucked?”
That’s the Left in 2020. They do not need logic or proof to make a point, because anyone that opposes them we’ll be a “racist.” That’s how in the last 4 months we’ve agreed to release murderers and rapists from prison and defund the police. I think there’s a legitimate reason to be scared.
For the record he did say he was up for a debate. I think anyone with a platform should challenge what’s he says. If what he say is truth and you disagree with him. The best way to discredit him Is to have a debate with him, but some people like to throw rocks and hide their hand. Why does the truth sound like your anti something. Unless the person who is offended is guilty. Expressing ones opinion might hurt a couple of feelings, but taking away someone’s source of income is real power. My only criticism of Nick is that it’s good to speak the truth but when your in someone else’s house you have to follow their rules. If Nick had more bread or was a little more independent he wouldn’t have to worry about a situation like this.
Nick Cannon has been a multimillionaire for years, gtfoh! Was showing off $2m dollar diamond shoes a couple years ago he’ll be fine. People enter into contracts and are responsible for what they say so stop holding his water and claiming is unfair and if you don’t like it you’re offended by the truth. No. We’re sick of being critizened for even having an opinion and being harassed by blacks for just being white. Nick cannon ain’t even worried about the millions of slaves TODAY CURRENTLY or how BLACKS enslaved JEWS way back in history.
Your comment adds nothing to the conversation. What I said still stands.
Why would they. Theyd be labeled racist for life for defending or letting black ppl know abiut themselves and their violent culture publicily
The reason is because they would be exposed. The stereotypes that you claim black people are were created for a specific purpose. Who planted the seed of violence, genocide, self hate and dysfunctionality in the black community.
First off they are called Jewish people,not “Jooish”. Secondly,if the black community spent half as much time initiating change from within as they do making a parade out of every injustice they suffer,perhaps we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I read constantly how all white people who don’t speak up on behalf of the black community are part of the problem,while also reading how the black community has overwhelmingly branded all white people as racist and previous slave owners. Slavery was abolished in 1865, the “lane” the black community has created for itself since then is largely one of “hoes,clothes and bankrolls”. A mysogonistic,violence adoring and ignorant way of thinking that has done nothing to help further the progress of the people it was created by. Now you want to say fuck Viacom for employing people that appeal to this widely glorified way of thinking,when if they didn’t you would be bitching about that saying they don’t accept your “culture”. As long as it’s cool to fuck hoes,have 8 kids with 8 different women and kill each other for entertainment,don’t talk to me about being oppressed. Maybe more of these black millionaires should invest in uplifting their people with black owned businesses and initiatives instead of pissing fortunes away on cars and watches.6 million Jewish people were exterminated in 1945 for being Jewish. Not because they were out committing crimes,telling the police to go fuck themselves,fighting with them and running away.
Shut the fuck up and do better research. The fact you used hoes clothes and bankrolls as the summation of black culture proves you are truly an outsider and one who speaks with little knowledge. People like you love to seek out knowledge that is convenient for themselves and less so when it is not. Is our culture perfect? Fuck no, but just because slavery ended doesn’t mean the bullshit didn’t. Do more research why things are they way they are, if you don’t then your argument fails every time as someone who merely skimmed google versus actually doing research. But you won’t, because it doesn’t effect you and you don’t give a fuck. You just want someone to like what you said. Its funny you get on Nick Cannon but look how people get on a hip hop site and spew the same bullshit about black people. You love our culture but you would never fight for us. Black people built this country, blood sweat and muthafukin tears. Cancelled.
You are all in your feelings your problem and everyone who thinks like you is pride your to proud get over your selves your not special nobody is, what research have you done? Judging from your weak ass mind state your reporting the everyday news we dont care about that bullshit lying box you pledge your life to. Cancel police will do what exactly you must have the answer you fucking smart guy let’s hear one good thing that would come of cancellation of the police? Slavery ended? Wow you truly do zero research of your own evidently not that one should have to research such a thing when you can open your eyes and see we are all still very much so enslaved and no not just black people lmao people as a whole we are all being led by evil your to blinded to see because your just think about your selfish ass
I’m the Cancel Police, not Cancel the Police
You Jackass.
You sound like a fucken moron honestly.
Yikes!
Trolls! Don’t feed it.
Ignore. Ignore. ignore.
Wow, WTF is wrong with this man, this some of the most bigoted and crazy shit I have ever heard from him at this point and then tried to preach peace to the groups of people he dogged, we don’t need this type of shit right now and I’m glad someone is trying to take a mic from this fool.
What do you expect white people have been raping and pillaging for hundreds and hundreds of years even the Christian Crusaders were barbaric white people too blacks as slaves the Roman Empire was insanely ruthless. Look how white people treats blacks in America
Are you a Viacom employee or just slow because I think the right the for them to have done was to stay neutral and silent as a company to insure that opinion or anger wasn’t directed towards them or associated with them now it seems like they were offended because someone there behind the scenes in power was secretly promoting other groups while raking in cash with the other groups
boycott viacom now
One thing I learned early on in life: Never take the words of a mentally ill human being personally. Crazy can’t help being crazy. And Nick Cannon been crazy for years.
Glad he’s got fired like all the Karen’s and the David’s who were racist.
Google USS Liberty.
As a white person I don’t take offence to what nick cannon has said and I don’t think he should be fired. I’m against all the cancel culture b.s, I do think what he said can be dangerous it’s exactly what white supremacists groups want to hear. Divisive speach that segregates races.
So white people are the savages yet blacks are killing each other over a bandana.?
Hey fire everyone for having feelings. Truth is never taken lightly. Their just words!!
Let’s be honest who does the most random and mass shootings, kill their whole family, kidnapping, slavery, looting and set up pagan statues in honor of it all. And Nick Cannon is a racist FOH!!
Fuck Viacom. If you’ll fire a person for stating actual facts, something is wrong and we shouldn’t be watching your shit anyway! Black is the beginning and bitch it’s everything!
