Nick Cannon on Wednesday apologized on Twitter for the "hurtful and divisive words" he said last month on his podcast "Cannon's Class," which resulted in his termination from ViacomCBS for "perpetuating anti-Semitism."
"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," Cannon, the host of the popular MTV show "Wild 'N Out," tweeted late Wednesday evening.
"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," he added. "The video of this interview has since been removed."
Cannon recently agreed with former Public Enemy rapper Richard Griffin, known as Professor Griff, and his assertion that Jews are "wicked."
"I'm hated now because I told the truth," Griffin, who left Public Enemy in 1989 upon making the comment, told Cannon during the "Cannon's Class" podcast on June 30.
"You're speaking facts," Cannon said.
"Semitic people are Black people" Cannon, an African American, later added. "You can't be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people."

I downloaded it.
BTW, he doesn't apologize to Whites and no news organization seems to care.
OK, now apologize for saying white people are “savages” and “less” than black people. Any white person who said this about blacks would rightly be called a rabid racist. The same rules should apply to a rabid black racist.
Shouldn’t this bigot be apologizing to ALL white people since he called us lesser humans and deficient and animalistic and beastly???
Yeah. Conrad was cool. Nick Cannon,not so much.
Sub Saharan Africans are Semites?
Hmmmmmm…no.
I am not familiar with him but the name Ace Cannon is right up there with the best. :-)
He’s Julie sorry about the hit to his wallet.
Darn it! Julie should be just.
These ‘faux-pologies’ may be coming too late and too shallow.
For Via-Com to drop him after 20+ years of working together is significant. Sometimes, there is damage to the working relationship that can never be fully repaired.
Via-Com was forced to acknowledge Nick’s hatred and paranoia of Jews, because he repeated himself in great detail numerous times.
Aha, he make a fake apology and then BACKWALKED it, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was insincere. And what’s that garbage about “black people are semites”? This guy is a complete loser.
Really liked they guy on America Has Talent.
Good grief, talk about clueless.
Typical LIEberal...spew verbal diarrhea then issue some half-ass ‘sorry’ and all is well. If it wasn’t for double standards, LIEberals wouldn’t have any.
Sounds more like "Cannon's LACK OF Class". And no, Nicky, I DON'T accept your half-azzed apology.
“BTW, he doesn’t apologize to Whites and no news organization seems to care. “
Whites don’t seem to care either.
Have you heard any group of whites making a stink of this?
Blacks scream and holler if they are dissed, Jews, mexicans, women, homos, etc. do the same.
Only whites lie down and take it, and so they keep dishing it out.
If you can’t be bothered to protect yours and what’s yours, why should anyone else do it for you? It’s really that simple.
And you expect the “news organization” to do it for you? What have they got to fear from you?
“Shouldn’t this bigot be apologizing to ALL white people since he called us lesser humans and deficient and animalistic and beastly???”
See post #17.
Does it all REALLY have to be all about skin COLOR?
MLK would be so ashamed of you idiots. You still haven’t learned the simplest lesson.
No need to apologize.I asked the local Rabbi if he has spoken at various Christian churches. He said, “All the time.” Then I asked the local Rabbi if he allows non-Jews to speak at his temple. He said, “Never.” Funny how people who enforce monologues requires others to dialogue.
