Nick Cannon fired for promoting anti-Semitic comment

    

ViacomCBS has fired Nick Cannon from his MTV show Wild N' Out and other works for promoting anti-semitic comments. 

The alleged act according to ViacomCBS was committed in his podcast Cannon's class "promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories".

In the 30 June episode of Cannon's Class, the presenter interviewed former Public Enemy rapper Professor Griff, who left the group in 1989 after saying Jews were "wicked".

Professor Griff claimed to Cannon that he was talking about Jews controlling the media, and said: "I'm hated now because I told the truth." Cannon added: "You're speaking facts."

The presenter called Professor Griff a "legend". He also said the "Semitic people are black people", and that: "You can't be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people."

                      

He wrote: "I don't blame any individual, I blame the oppressive and racist infrastructure.

"Systemic racism is what this world was built on and was the subject in which I was attempting to highlight in the recent clips that have been circulating from my podcast. If I have furthered the hate speech, I wholeheartedly apologise."

But he added: "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!"

Nick Cannon created Wild N' Out and he is also the presenter of The Masked Singer for Fox.

The star also presents The Masked Singer, which is made by Fox.

He created Wild 'N Out, an improv series that has had 15 series, but which will now come to an end.
