ViacomCBS said in a statement received by TMZ,"ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism. 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.
As the backlash mounted over the weekend when the interview was resurfaced, Cannon took to social media to talk more about what he was trying to say on his podcast, and invited anyone to come on and correct him."I encourage more healthy dialogue and welcome any experts, clergy, or spokespersons to any of my platforms to hold me accountable and correct me in any statement that I've made that has been projected as negative," he said.
The"Masked Singer" host went into more depth afterward in an interview with Fast Company, where he reiterated,"There's no malice or negative intent, but in a time like 2020 we got to have these conversations. And if there's an assumption that is perceived as ignorant, let's debunk it right away." One of the points of contention was Cannon's stated praise for Louis Farrakhan while at the same time saying he has no hate or malice in his heart. Cannon suggested that it's possible to condemn Farrakhan's hate speech, which he does, while still admiring other aspects and messages the minister has shared.
TooFab He’s done...
TooFab FANS? YOU MEAN OTHER RACIST BLACK PEOPLE?
TooFab Don't we have free speech in America? Why can't we all express our thoughts and ideas without judgment. Not every one is going to like what we all say but we should all have the right to say it.
TooFab Nick Cannon fans once rallied around a Chalupa.
TooFab He's only doing so to save what's left of his career, anyone who says what he said doesn't feel sorry, he's just back peddling an twisting words for his own self an career.
TooFab Doesn't matter, what he said speaks volumes. Hate is hate. He was fired and deserved to be, along with anyone else who spreads hate an being a celebrity people will follow your lead. We want to stop Racism/hate against all people.
TooFab He looks like a moron with that on his head attentiom seeker! Eminem rant didnt work so now this and the media falls formit and gives him exactly what he wanted attention
TooFab You know what racist white people and their supports say after they make a questionable comment/statement “he didn’t mean any malice or negative intent”
TooFab What’s good for one is good for all. He opened his mouth and now suffered the consequences like those before him did. What’s fair is fair.
TooFab So he is attacked (cause that’s what it is) for speaking facts. Y’all president says racist shit and y’all ok with it! No one fired his ass! Miss me with that bullshit!!! IStandWithNickCannon
TooFab Of course the fans do, because he’s black, if a white person said this all hell would break lose
TooFab Double standard! He’s an antisemetic pig. NickCannon
TooFab Either does this..hypocritical black racist
TooFab HATEFUL talk. Nick needs to shut his mouth and worry bout his own backyard
TooFab Anyone who is okay with this type of speech does not believe in the cause of EQUALITY. NickCannon
TooFab Nick Is really trending now
TooFab Fans? Wait, he has fans?!
TooFab So does everyone else who lost their jobs bc of cancel culture also get to use the 'no malice or negative intent' get out of jail free card
TooFab When you’re making a lot of money with a successful show is there no way to shut up
TooFab Truth is truth. Troglodytes can’t handle it🥴
TooFab
TooFab Love you Nick
TooFab He spoke the truth. He said what I BEEN saying. Man, power to the brother Nick ✊🏿. We know who da REAL hataz.
TooFab I was never a fan of him but I am now. NickCannonIsRight
TooFab I don't support prejudice people who hate other people because of color
TooFab Racist and if the table were turn there would be more of a media outcry.. the double standard.
TooFab Now fire him from THE MASKED SINGER
TooFab can’t take this Nickelodeon 🤡serious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
TooFab How could anyone support what he said? It’s not ok.
TooFab Another BS racist statement thrown away because he’s black.
TooFab he gone
TooFab Well... I guess that makes it all good? You opened your mouth and made yourself look like an amateur. Not cool.
TooFab It's really profound when U think about the many psychological issues behind this situation. With NickCannon the moment a BLK MAN decides 2 connect with his Heritage & express it just like other HarveyLevinTMZ
TooFab Yep! He and the talent ARE the show. We will follow them to any platform, we don’t care about the name of the show. I’ve been to a live taping and I’ve been a viewer for years. His fan base is with him 🔥
TooFab People didn’t like Colin Kaepernick either
TooFab Isn’t that what all racists say?
TooFab Wow...there’s a lot of anti-Jewish sentiment out there. Thanks, JoeBiden SpeakerPelosi, TheRevAl NYCMayor NYGovCuomo, hillaryclinton, BarackObama (incidentally, not a lot of Jewish people worked around you 🤔) and JeremiahWright on your work fomenting antisemitism
TooFab Privileged?
TooFab So that's 2 jobs he's been fired from. I bet if wild n out wasnt his, he would.jave been fired from there too by now 🤷🏻♂️
TooFab Yet he didn’t mention the Native Americans!!! He must have not read the full history book!!!
TooFab Bullshit
TooFab Fans are racist then
TooFab So are we trying to be united or the point of all this chaos is division? If we want to be divided then let's keep spewing hatred and everybody segregate according to color. If not then tend to your business and let's keep it moving forward🤷♀️
TooFab Nick Cannon has Fans?
TooFab 🎶you're gonna lose your job, you're gonna lose your job🎶..lol..that was the best episode yet
TooFab I call BS he had I’ll content or he would have kept his mouth shut!
TooFab Love it! If you are going to fire peeps be consistent...
TooFab
TooFab 'Fans rally behind Nick Cannon' Racists. You spelled racists wrong.
TooFab Again the president of the United States can make racist remarks or dumb ass remarks and he gets to stay in office but when a celebrity does it they loose their job.
TooFab Really? Sure seemed like a black supremacy mindset to me, and I’m black. 🤷🏾♂️
TooFab He said the truth do your research and brush up on your history. The savagery is written all through the history pages.
TooFab This just goes to show that “EVERYONE” who is disagreeing with what he had to say, has no real knowledge of history, or can’t except the truth. I watched the entire interview. No sound bites or misrepresentation of words. Nothing he said was wrong or with malice intent.
TooFab He has fans, is the real story.
TooFab Nick has always been vocal about such things as race, Jewish, superior power. Nothing to see here folks, but I will say it’s nice to see that everyone isbeing held accountable these days and the bias is starting to lift weight to, no matter who you are.
TooFab I love Nick Cannon and I enjoy watching Wildin Out sooo please DON’T KICK HIM OUT THE CLASSROOM 😂
TooFab Hes not white. He cant be racist. Thats how the world works right? Smh ima drop a purple nuclear bomb on us and turn everyone purple. Try to be racist then. We’re all the same on the inside idk why people seem to think theyre better.
TooFab
TooFab Liar
TooFab What!! Hahaha So if a white person called black people savages/animals it wouldnt be with bad/malice intent 😂😂 Nick Cannon has done gone bonkers like Mariah!
TooFab Maybe this is a conversation you have at home. Not in the public when you are a public figure. His statements are that of a person trying to rationalize actions displayed by people of the white race. I believe a lot of what he said.
TooFab Just excluded an entire Black people who lack melanin who don't have no 'soul' according to him. The inclusion is crucial for awareness to Stop the Killings. His exclusion perpetuates a lack of no acknowledgement of Black people. They are not invisible.That said Teach don't Fire
TooFab 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😷😷😷😷
TooFab It's just baffling to me the audacity of the backlash that people get when they speak on how barbaric white people were/are to people of color in Amaerica as if it's made up and not a part of their history. White people dont get to pick and choose what they want to remember.
TooFab That's like saying 'no offense but...' before saying something offensive.
TooFab He says that now only because he didn't get the reaction he expected, he says what ever he wants and expect praise and cant believe not everyone thinks the way he does, he's so far off the mark. What an ego, a narcissistic entitled ego!
TooFab I hope tylerperry picks up Wildin' Out... I bet it would be a win/win for both
TooFab Another racist getting some limelight.
TooFab
TooFab when someone’s true thoughts, intentions and colors come out they come out. He has been wanting to say something like this for a long time.
TooFab So many white ppl on here trying the “you would’ve done the same to white ppl” card 🤦♂️
TooFab Guess it’s ok to be openly racist as long as it’s against white people!!! Sorry Nick you can’t just say what you want without consequences what’s good for once race is good for another
TooFab Pretty sure he spoke his own truth
TooFab 🤢🤮
TooFab NickCannon you said what you think so you obviously feel that way. We all think how we feel and we say what we think and feel so stand by your words and your negative thoughts
TooFab He should be fired. Hate speech is disgusting.
TooFab That just means he truly thinks those concepts and doesn't feel bad about it.
TooFab That wasn’t a hateful speech? U talkin about “ALL” white people, not a couple but ALL! imagine a white dude condemning ALL black people, you’d probably lose yo shit
TooFab This world is being to censored. White comments, black pink etc. Hate should change but freedom of speech. I'm not sure where that beauty is going sadly. 😢
TooFab
TooFab That's bs! He's a racist. If he gets away with this, I'll be protesting, rioting and destroying stuff! He definitely had malice and negative intent.
TooFab He is just clueless, talentless and not funny
TooFab He has fans?
TooFab Fire this bum from everything he is Racist as they get all should be held accountable for there actions about time if everyone is held to same standard cures a lot you all wanted cancel culture you got it ! Lol 😂
TooFab Good he's a jerk! He should watch what comes out of he's mouth 😛
TooFab He should have been fired & he shouldn't get another job until he apologizes over & over & over again !!! It's different now that a black man is being racist all of a sudden all the white haters want to enforce BLACK PRIVILEGE for Nick Cannon Down with the BLACK MASSES !!!
TooFab Fire the racist B%!
TooFab Fuck. Nick. Canon.
Banned_From_TV_ TooFab His constant reassurance to Caucasian people that he will be sensitive to their ignorance
Banned_From_TV_ TooFab I choose to read and see what he’s talking about and it’s nothing short of truth. But Jew-ish choose to destroy him to hide their secret. This is what exposes them even more for their lies. As long as you’re a Good Negroe they hire you. Terry Crews is proof
TooFab It’s the culture the internet witch hunters and cancel cultures warriors created..you have to live with it..I keep seeing “he’s a good guy, he didn’t mean it”..Well so was Drew Brees and it didn’t matter...All he said was I’m not kneeling and that made him racist..come on alread
Banned_From_TV_ TooFab All these people that don’t want to read real history but instead choose to be blindly ignorant
TooFab Most ppl apologize when they get called out not Nick he doubles down lol
TooFab All things he said aside, the craziest part about this is that people would be fans of his 😂
Banned_From_TV_ TooFab “Hateful” lol
TooFab It is wrong to say sonething that’s true?
TooFab I stand with nick speak the truth brother💪🏽
TooFab Im glad he got Fired! Racism works both ways. If a white person said half of what nick said referring to blacks people would say it appalling and racist. Skin color doesn't change that.
TooFab
TooFab Yeah...a lot of racist pos try to explain themselves that way!
TooFab Niggas don't wanna see wild'n-out canceled lmao
TooFab Black white whatever we're all Hypocrites and bigots.
TooFab I don’t like what he said at all, it’s not ok
TooFab Racism is a 4 way street with no stop signs or lights.
TooFab God got it! F*** Viacom CBS!
TooFab Like Rosane Barr? Like other white stars and CEO’s getting fired. That was a straight up racist comment towards white people.
TooFab Nick Cannon says white people are 'a little less,' 'closer to animals,' 'the true savages,' 'acting out of a deficiency so the only way they can act is evil.' When does he get canceled?
TooFab Nick Cannon has 'fans'? For being a host?
TooFab Are these the same people who demand the firing of those who use racist speech against people of color? You can’t have it both ways.
TooFab He is a true piece of shit. His hatred has not just cost him his jobs at Viacom, but all of his friends and costars of all of his shows with the exception of Masked Singer are going to be out of jobs too.
TooFab Yea I’m glad he was punished for his dumbass comments.
TooFab which fans ? the black or the jewish BOYCOTTNICKCANNON i think it comes from the turban because iilhanomar is saying the same speech against jewish people ,the turban is too thigh the little neurone inside the brain cannot breath properly
TooFab Mmmm the height of hypocrisy...
TooFab He’s a racist. Say it!
TooFab I mean his type do seem to attack lots of people and steal sooooo
TooFab 🤔 you have to pay close attention to those close to you when they know you're very outspoken and voices your opinion clearly.
TooFab You don’t say the things you said unless you felt them, own your racist feelings.
TooFab He's a liar just like everybody else.
TooFab meh nick cannon was always trash regardless
TooFab Lol, he knows the truth and yall are gonna lambast him he called out the ROTHSCHILDS of course we know he's doomed in Hollywood. Bet he has some choice words for Harvey too
TooFab I didnt like that show anyway bye Nick
TooFab So when you have fan support or when you have “good intentions”, it’s ok to be racist? Just checking. Sounds like double standards to me. Unfortunately, Trump will love that 🤷🏻♂️
TooFab Fuck this simp.
TooFab Hope he stays gone and I hope the masked singer replaces him too
TooFab What fans are those? The extremists
TooFab His comments were blatantly and undeniably anti-Semitic and anti-white. If you want racism to be ended then we can’t accept it in any form. All racism is bad and we have to unite against it
TooFab NickCannon think needs to explain the reason for the violence in Liberia to his loyal followers. He says whitepeople are savages but how do you explained the non stop violence in countries that are all black ?
TooFab Anyone can say that after the fact. We heard what he said though.
TooFab I’ve seen some stupid fans, but this is a whole new level.
TooFab … but if the tables were turned.... cringe.
TooFab Fire Trump while you are at it...
TooFab Glad he’s been taken down a peg. It’s deserved. Anyone who spews such disgusting antisemitism doesn’t deserve platitudes.
TooFab He’s discriminating so arrest him!!
TooFab Like it or not; in these kinds of jobs, the “celebrities” represent the companies paying them. Make the boss look bad and you’re gone. Viacom did exactly what Nick knew they would do.
TooFab The racist BLM behind him.. that’s America
TooFab
TooFab Lmao, tell him to fill out an application with tmz he'll fit right in!!
TooFab Nick has gone full nut bar
TooFab lol umm, he's just an oblivious racist/bigot? Okay. Most are!
TooFab 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Racist
TooFab some white ppl bash blacks for being ghetto n nick say they weak n brim their weak wittle hearts awww 🥺😂😂😂
TooFab Not defending or anything. But how many white people have said something without malice or ill intent and have been cancelled? Can't have cake and eat it too.
TooFab He expressed himself and the company he WORKED for decided this isn’t what they are for, freedom of speech exercised on both ends🤷🏾♂️
TooFab i mean we do have freedom of speech right ? he was just stating his facts till someone got a lil too butt hurt
TooFab Lol......you said he has FANS!!!! This no talent is only known for wearing a turbin and letting Maria bottom from the top ... he can be the pied piper for all of you socially promoted from 5th grade Get a job already taxpayerslivesmatter
TooFab Yeah ok too late! You reap what you sow!
TooFab The media is on some B.S
TooFab He must go. What good for one is good for all. Racist !!!!!!!!!
TooFab Racist
TooFab He innocent
TooFab What fans?
TooFab Awww too bad , left is eating the left . The left likes free speech when there speaking , but when the right speaks the left wants it shutdown. Cannon has been deleted . Delete delete delete.
TooFab What? GTFO
TooFab Bye bye career LeftToolLiar
TooFab Oh stop it. You're CNN now. He made his bed... ByeFelicia 👋
TooFab The media couldn’t handle that truth! Like most of the time they(media) shutdown the truth
TooFab Nick Cannon is a MORON. Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TooFab Such fucking hypocritical bullshit!!! Everyone should be allowed to speak their truth, unless you are white or disagree with what's going on right now... So sickening!!
TooFab He wears a fucking turban!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IDIOT FASHIONSENSELESS ANTISEMITE
TooFab He racist! Part of the problem
TooFab What he said was racist.
TooFab He is racist and anti semantic! You can’t make the first statements about white people and Jewish people and then say, “I have no Hate in my heart and no Malicious intent. That’s BS! I’m glad he’s gone!
TooFab Good! A racist is a racist no matter the color of his skin! I don’t stand by RacistInChief So I certainly won’t stand by NickCannon & his racist words! You’re racist if you support either of them! I’ll still continue to fight for Equality tho! BLM 🖤✊
TooFab He is racist
TooFab He's a bum
TooFab We stand with you NickCannon
TooFab This dude has screws loose.
TooFab He is allowed to say this but then the group is allowed to fire him also. I am sorry but if we are trying to unite as one and end racism those statements do not help. If a white an said that they would be racist white privileged etc skin color is just more or less pigmentation
TooFab Nick Cannon has fans?
TooFab It’s crazy how the world is when you water down history...Like most rich folk say if you wanna keep people ignorant put all information in a book
TooFab Remember crackhead Dave Chappele? Yeah we did not forget
TooFab He uses racist pseudoscientific bullshit and conspiracy theories , which is spread by Farrakhan and BLM... No different than some Neonazi wacked out theories on so-called race. So, yeah. I can see individuals defending him and his ignorance .
TooFab This is probably just what his career needed. Now he can be free of Viacom and produce his own shows.
TooFab 'Black people have a right to be racist towards whites.' -Liberals
TooFab Yeah right.
TooFab He has fans....? whoknew
TooFab LOL, now comes the crying.
TooFab Tell that pussy come find me.
TooFab He didn't say anything that wasn't true! Why should he loose his jobs?
TooFab Can he get his job back babysitting for Mariah Carey?
TooFab I will never understand how anyone can say those types of things and say they didn’t have a “negative intent”. It is ok to admit a mistake and be willing to learn and grow. But don’t give us the “I didn’t mean to offend anyone” line.
TooFab He’s crazy. Get him out of here.
TooFab He is butt hurt from eminem destroying him publicly!!!
TooFab 'Fans' ? You mean Mariah?
TooFab Nick Cannon is a known racist.
TooFab
TooFab
TooFab are you going to believe Nick or your lying eyes and ears?
TooFab Anyone who knows me knows that I have no hate in my heart nor malice intentions,” Cannon tweeted. “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.”
