    Back in July 2020, ViacomCBS announced that it cut ties with ‘The Masked Singer’ host back after he blasted white people in an episode of his podcast ‘Cannon’s Class’.

    Feb 5, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Nick Cannon is heading back to “Wild ‘N Out” as a host after previously being fired from the show over his anti-semitic remarks. The decision to have him back arrives after the TV host manages to reestablish his relationship with ViacomCBS.
    “Nick has not only apologized and taken responsibility for his comments, but he has also worked to educate himself and others through engagement with Jewish leaders and on his platforms,” an MTV Entertainment Group spokesperson told Entertainment Tonight. “Those efforts are of the utmost importance and that’s why we have invited him to rejoin our team.”
    Nick’s rep, meanwhile, said that he is unavailable to give a comment on the matter since he is currently quarantining after testing positive for COVID-19.
    ViacomCBS announced that it cut ties with “The Masked Singer” host back in July 2020 after he blasted white people in an episode of his podcast “Cannon’s Class”. “ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism,” it shared in a statement. “We have spoken to Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast ‘Cannon’s Class’ on YouTube, which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.”

    “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,” so the statement continued.
    In the controversial episode, Nick said, “The people that don’t have [melanin] are a little less. They may not have had the compassion when they were sent to the mountains of Caucasus when they didn’t have the power of the sun.” Additionally, Nick went on calling them “savages” and “barbaric,” saying, “They’re acting as animals so they’re the ones that are actually closer to animals. They’re the ones that are actually the true savages.”
    Following the backlash, Nick issued a lengthy apology. “First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin,” he wrote. “They reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people and I feel ashamed of the uninformed and naïve place that these words came from. The video of this interview has since been removed.”
    The ex-husband of Mariah Carey added that there “is so much I have yet to learn.” He continued that “minor history lesson over the past few days and to say that it is eye-opening would be a vast understatement.”

      This arrives after the ‘Masked Singer’ host and his team reportedly planned to sue ViacomCBS after the company cut ties with him earlier this month due to his anti-semitic scandal.
      Aug 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nick Cannon and ViacomCBS may reunite soon. Despite firing Nick over his anti-semitic scandal, Chris McCarthy, president of entertainment and youth brands at ViacomCBS, appears to be optimistic that they could work together.
      “I struggle with the fact that Nick, a longtime partner and friend of ours, is on this journey and we’re not part of that journey,” Chris said during a town hall meeting on Monday, August 17, according to Variety. “I am hopeful we find a way to bring these two things together and hopefully we will have the opportunity to do that with Nick again.”
      This arrives after “The Masked Singer” host and his team reportedly planned to sue ViacomCBS with a lawsuit to the tune of $1.5 billion. “It is just that simple, ‘Wild’N Out belongs to Nick!’ ” his team reported shared in a statement earlier this month. “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.”
      Noting that Nick “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,” his team claimed that Nick “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.”
      ViacomCBS fired Nick in July in a statement which it shares that it has cut ties with the TV/radio personality. “ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism,” the Tuesday, July 14 statement read. “We have spoken to Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast ‘Cannon’s Class’ on YouTube, which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.”
      Nick received backlash for slamming white people in an episode of his podcast “Cannon’s Class”, calling them savages and barbaric. He then issued an apology by extending his “deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin.

      Nick Cannon's Daytime Talk Show Put on Hold Following Anti-Semitic Remarks

      by

      WENN

      The upcoming television show to be hosted by the former husband of Mariah Carey has been postponed after originally scheduled to debut in September this year.
      Jul 18, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nick Cannon’s new daytime talk show has been shelved following the anti-Semitism controversy that cost him his TV gig at ViacomCBS earlier this week (beg13Jul20).
      The TV and radio personality was fired after making controversial remarks during a “Cannon’s Class” podcast chat with Public Enemy rapper Professor Griff, but he won’t be losing his job as the host of hit TV show “The Masked Singer”.
      And now the co-producers of his upcoming talk show at Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury have confirmed they are standing by Cannon, but his syndicated daytime programme, which was scheduled to debut in September (20), will now launch at the end of next year (21).
      A production company spokesman reveals executives are happy with the apology Nick made on Thursday, stating, “After conversations with Nick, we do believe that his public comments don’t reflect his true feelings and his apology is heartfelt and sincere.”
      “We want to continue the healing process as he meets with leaders of the Jewish community and engages in a dialogue with our distribution partners to hear their views. We are standing by Nick in our hope that by fall 2021 he will be able to use his extraordinary talent and platform to entertain, enlighten and unite his audience on the Nick Cannon talk show.”

      Nick Cannon Demands Ownership of 'Wild 'N Out' After Firing, Diddy Offers New Home at Revolt TV

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Masked Singer’ host receives support from the Bad Boy mogul as he is seeking for ‘full ownership’ of his rap comedy series after he was fired by ViacomCBS.
      Jul 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sean “Diddy” Combs has offered Nick Cannon a job at his network after the TV and radio personality was fired by bosses at ViacomCBS for racist remarks he made during a podcast chat.
      The executives severed links with “The Masked Singer” host on Tuesday (14Jul20) after he called white people “savages” and “a little less” than darker-skinned people, during a chat with Public Enemy star Professor Griff on his show, “Cannon’s Class”.
      He also suggested white-skinned people act “evil” and “rob, steal, rape, kill in order to survive” due to the fact they are not as strong as their black brothers and sisters.
      His comments led to a storm of backlash and ViacomCBS executives’ decision to fire him, which prompted Cannon to release a statement, which read, “Anyone who knows me knows that I have no hate in my heart nor malice intentions (sic). 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…”
      “In today’s conversation about anti-racism and social justice, I think we all – including myself – must continue educating one another and embrace uncomfortable conversations – it’s the only way we ALL get better.”
      “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, So let’s embrace those as well as each other. We All Family (sic)!”
      Cannon, who admits he is “deeply saddened” by the decision to terminate his contract, now may have found a new home at Revolt TV – the company run by Diddy.
      The rap mogul and entrepreneur took to Twitter as the news of Cannon’s drama hit the headlines on Wednesday morning and wrote, “@NickCannon come home to @REVOLTTV truly BLACK OWNED!!! We got your back and love you and what you have done for the culture. We are for our people first!!! For us! By US! Let’s go!!!”
      Meanwhile, in his latest statement about his termination at ViacomCBS, Cannon claims, “The moment was stolen and highjacked to make an example of an outspoken black man.”
      He goes on to reveal he will fight to take back “full ownership” of his “Wild ‘N Out” rap comedy series, because without his “leadership,” he’s convinced network bosses will “continue to misuse and destroy” the brand.
