Nick Cannon, who was fired by ViacomCBS this week for making anti-Semitic comments on his podcast, posted troubling tweets early Friday morning.
“I hurt a whole community and it hurt to the core, I thought it couldn’t get any worse,” Cannon tweeted. “Then I saw my own community turn against me and call me a vendor to apologize. Good night. Enjoy the Earth. “
He added: “You can all have this planet. I am out!” The messages marked their location as “heaven”.
In a recent episode of “Cannon’s Class,” the comedian interviewed rapper Professor Griff, who was briefly expelled from Public Enemy in 1989 for anti-Semitic comments.
Cannon suggested on the podcast that his removal from the group had been unfair because Griff had been “talking about facts.”
Cannon also cited lingering conspiracy theories about the Jewish banking family, the Rothchilds, and praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, known for his anti-Semitic comments.
ViacomCBS, which owns MTV and TeenNick and has had a decades-long relationship with Cannon, released him on Wednesday, saying he would not tolerate “hate speech.” He had been president of TeenNick and hosted MTV’s “Wild ‘N Out”.
Cannon apologized on social media the same day and said, “First of all, I extend my most sincere and sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with [Professor Griff]. “
He added: “They reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people and I am ashamed of the uninformed and naive place where these words come from.”
It is not the first time that Cannon has raised fears for his well-being in the midst of a scandal. In 2017, he suddenly left “America’s Got Talent” and fired his longtime advisers, Page Six reported exclusively at the time. The star had recently spent time in a hospital for lupus-related complications and posted online about depression and “pain.”
Fox maintains it like the presenter of “The Masked Singer”.
