Nick Cannon has been the face of Wild ‘N Out since 2005 but was fired by ViacomCBS last month after comments he made during an interview with Professor Griff were deemed anti-Semitic. But according to The Shade Room, he plans to take legal action and sue the company for $1.5 billion, the estimated worth of the long-running show.
“It is just that simple, ‘Wild’N Out belongs to Nick, ” his team reportedly told TSR. “The show was created by Nick Cannon with his idea and original thought. Wild’N Out has brought billions of dollars in revenue to Viacom since 2015. And Nick deserves and has earned everything it is worth.
“From the platforms he provides for other entertainers, the jobs he creates for Black youth, the time he gives to mentoring incarcerated men and women, to the money he gives back and puts into communities, homelessness, and people less fortunate. He is constantly evolving both spiritually and mentally, as well as, taking action in learning, education and bridging the gap within the Jewish and African American communities, so that it will allow us to build relationships, work together and learn from each other in order to move forward in equality.”
If Cannon wins the lawsuit, he reportedly plans to use the money to “invest in better education in underserved communities, as well as creating psychological programs, youth organizations and developing inner city communities.”
After ViacomCBS severed its relationship with the multifaceted artist, Cannon issued a lengthy Facebook post expressing his disappointment in the company’s decision. He simultaneously demanded ownership of Wild ‘N Out along with an apology.
“I am deeply saddened in a moment so close to reconciliation that the powers that be, misused an important moment for us to all grow closer together and learn more about one another,” he wrote early Wednesday morning (July 15). “Instead the moment was stolen and highjacked to make an example of an outspoken black man.
“I will not be bullied, silenced, or continuously oppressed by any organization, group, or corporation. I am disappointed that Viacom does not understand or respect the power of the black community.”
Nick Cannon Axed By ViacomCBS For Anti-Semitic Comments During Professor Griff Interview
Cannon also pointed out he’d been a member of the Viacom “family” for over 20 years and helped make Wild ‘N Out a “billion dollar brand.”
“For Viacom to be so deceptive is no surprise,” he added. “They have been mistreating and robbing our community for years, underpaying talent on their biggest brands like Love & Hip Hop, all of BET programming and of course, Wild ‘N Out.”
He concluded, “I demand full ownership of my billion dollar ‘Wild ‘N Out’ brand that I created, and they will continue to misuse and destroy without my leadership! I demand that the hate and back door bullying cease and while we are at it, now that the truth is out, I demand the Apology!”
Good luck with that. We applaud when people get ostracized for their political beliefs (being conservative), but when someone (a leftist) gets fired for being a racist it all the sudden is terrible. Even though he created Wild N Out, he sold that idea to put it on a platform. Should’ve shopped around, or negotiated to keep that brand. Or maybe you should’ve just been careful about what was said on another public platform when you represent a company you work for. That’s how it is for normal people who aren’t millionaires. I can’t go posting something crazy on social media, or do an interview talking bad about who employs me. Something to think about.
How do you know what was in that contract? None of us do. White people get away with saying wild shit all the time, there is one in office!! Nick definitely deserves that bag. Hope he gets it.
What kinda name breezy? Sound like a feminine fuck with a name like that. Hope you get run over by 17 buses today.
Shut the fuck up
Adolf cannon makes me proud
It’s all in the details of his contract. He ‘sold’ his idea to Viacom when he pitched his show to them. They drew up a contract and he agreed to it.
Get over yourself, Nick.
Too late, Nick Cannon, we all know you’re a true racist hypocrite. Didn’t Nicky forcefully blow Orlando Brown? That makes him a predator.
Good luck , you scumbag anti-semite.
You know it’s funny how when Eminem called his Ex the N Word. Black people forgave him because they knew despite what he said they knew he wasn’t a racist. I wish black people got the same energy back when we make comments that come across and anti-Semitic.
I believe Cannon isn’t a bad guy or anything but comparing him to a 15 year old broken hearted teenager is apples and oranges. He basically said people that aren’t of his skin color are jealous savages. Let that same statement come from a white guy and your ass is CANCELLED.
Interesting you say that, tell that to our 15 year olds who get life in jail for mistakenly killing a friend after doing a wrestling move. You see how that works? When they are young and white or old an white they get the benefit of the doubt, even when they are young and black they get life in jail for mistakes.
First off there is no such thing as being “cancelled”. Second it’s interesting that you bring up Eminem being 15 and just not knowing better. When are 15 year olds makes mistakes without knowing better they get life in jail. Just like when a 14 year old mistakenly killed a friend while doing wrestling moves.
You a bitch nic cuz you ain’t shit without ya wife bitch EM will fucc u up tricc
You a bitch fuck face
Hey look at that! You wanted to be treated like a white man, and now you got it. You had an idea, no money to back it, THEY gave you the income, and platform, in exchange for it, and like a white man you took it. Be a good little white man and STFU, you signed that contract like a bozo.
The amount is as bad a joke as his career in movies , music he better just walking away worst case they counter sue him . Haha
Gaslighting narcissist, and open racist.
Cannon is a racist fool. Why he has been embraced by anyone, after his anti-Caucasian comments, not to mention his anti-Semitic nonsense, is because those people are just as racist as he is. If you generalize an entire group of people, based on the color of their skin, that means you’re racist. It doesn’t matter what color your skin is.
awesome comment. Racism works both ways, if he made a racist comment the needs to face it. Just like anyone making a racist comment towards blacks… racism is racism! Not just if its against blacks. Its racism if its against whites, browns, asians….
Let me guess ? you’re Caucasian
Nick spoke the truth! The same truth everyone knows but are afraid to acknowledge, he should have never apologized!
so it was ok for him to make those comments the way he did then ?
What did he say?
Nick need to mutiply that by 10! Man, we want reparations!!!
And losing lol
Hold that L. Should’ve thought about that bag before those loose lips sunk the ship.
He said what he said he spoke truth and the show belongs to him. There for HUSHHHH
that shows worth billions??
I doubt it, probably millions though when you consider reruns, home media sales and merch
Worth more then that homies do your homeworka
Well taking it into consideration knowing how much the company makes now and considering it’s been out LONG they’ve prolly made at least 1 billion dollars AT LEAST a billion buh that’s just my opinion
Who bought Nicks album “ White People Party Music”. That’s really what it’s called. His face is painted white on the cover.
Nick is certainly wildN out if he thinks he is getting that moolah
It’s his idea and should be given full rights to the show
White people shole do unify when it comes to shaming a nigga.
WTFE. Blacks are just as racist as any other race.
If you knew the true meaning of racism then you would know black racism is not possible
Well, I mean we all have google, and can read and state the ACTUAL definition of racism, which in no way says black racism isn’t possible. But you can certainly come up with your OWN definition of racism to ensure the defense of double standards. Redifining what things mean, facts, data, constant attempts to try to find ways to control narratives to fit the way we want them, is all the rage in 2020. So sure go ahead. Just know that the actual definition is absolutely not exclusive to certain races.
What!? But you’re saying if the tables were turned and it was a white person you wouldn’t demand they were fired? Its crazy how things are always onesided.
Reeeeee
Free Nick Cannon’s show! It’s his. He created it!
Exactly.. Those fvcking peps
If he signed a contract check that whole thing out before kicking up. They might completely own it for however long whether you like it or not…
He undercut himself his brand is worth more they made money off everything he did gave him full creativity let him run with it soon doesn’t fit their image show who’s the boss give him his money and ownership doubt would apologize after made him apologize still cut ties with him after that
Hahahahaha nick, this is the funniest shit you ever said! Shit your racist ass down, your whole career is a joke and that is obviously continuing to hold true!
Mr. Cannon is right 100%. The American People Stand up with him. We Love him and we are Praying for him . He’s a Respectful , Gifted and Talented Young Adult. God gave him wisdom to get wealth. He definitely are a good role model. He helps thousands of people , especially young children. He’s Winning .
His career is a joke. The dude became the youngest black mogul before the age of 18. And did you not read about some of his other accomplishments? You actually took the time to post some hatin’ a** foolishness. (Sigh)
Wait did I just read that black people cant be rasist.. wow if you believe that then you have to be either trolling or just really stupid
That’s because to be a racist means you can stop, prevent or change the outcome of another race, black people don’t have that power. The word your using is prejudice, not racism. So who is stupid?
And he has supporters out here too wildnout brought many smiles and laughter to people faces Nick Cannon deserves so much I’m still watching videos on YouTube That’s how much wildnout means to me we love Nick
Couldn’t agree more. But you know what I can’t see how most of these people in the comments are just in denial they just mad cuz he was speaking facts don’t have to apologize for s*** some of us black people have it hard out here and you wonder why we act the way we act that’s why cause people that don’t know what they talkin about just want to put their two sense in s*** that’s we’re mad because some people just had to make a big deal out of f****** nothing it’s stupid that’s what it is when will the s*** end we all are not the same so please don’t compare we’re all human we all bleed blood we all have to put on pants one leg at a time racism was back then leave that s*** where is at can anybody agree when I say who the f*** still races in 2020 I tell you what compare black man to a white man nowadays who’s the racist one if you go on Google and search black getting killed who’s doing it all it is facts so don’t get mad when you read this because I’m not the one who made this into a big deal
Do what you’ve to do? I would be suing everyone that’s not fair fight for what’s yours period you got this and so do god?
So its pretty sad that everything turns to race its 2020 people are gonna say what they want and or feel, everyone has the right to their own oppinion, hopefully one day we will all realize that, if you dont like me ,then you dont for whatever reason, im not gonna let it affect my life and everyone else should be the same way ,aint not one of us better then the other nor is anyone any less come on peeps 2020 we should be better then this…thanks oh and as for nick aand wild n out its obvious thats all nick and no one else with out nick aint no one gonna wild out real talk good luck nick…..
Fucking white folks always wanting to control something. See a black men or woman become something big white folks want to put a hold on it because one they’re succeeding and gaining knowledge or the white folks feel like there taking money out of there pockets. They Will never let us win our give us our credit SIMPLE
I watched Wild n Out for the longest time only because of Nick Cannon and what he stood for since this situation has happened I have stopped watching the show. He needs to come back and he also needs the rights as the creator period. People are supposed to have freedom of speech period and of course as black people that never applies to us. I watched the episode where he supposedly said racist comments and I dont feel he said anything wrong. Bring Nick back and he also needs to be back on Power 106 I dont here his voice on there in the mornings it’s totally not fair or right. BRING NICK BACK!!!! BRING NICK BACK!!!!
Without Nick there is NO WILD “N” OUT
Not an activist or anything so plz dont at me with any bs im entitled to my opinion rather u agree with it or not
As a white man I back Nick Cannon. I love the show and all the people on it. I’m a huge fan of Nick’s Comedy( not so much his music) I pray he gets his show and brings it back full force. The comments blaming white people though, I thought we was better than that. I love you all. God Bless us all
?? Good Man you are. Tru to life. Respect ??
Wild n Out is nothing without Nick?
Its amazing how the Bible states facts and we can take it, but the minute anyone uses that same fact in their own words its socialism at its worst! What Nick said was true; its written. Not to make it a color type thing, but when will equality come for Nick’s people? No one looks at them as being equal and I understand why blacks are feeling less than; its because the world treats them as such! One day the people of this world will set aside its difference and live the life God has for us to live!
