Nick Cannon Demands Full Ownership Of His Billion Dollar ‘Wild ‘N Out’ Brand
Nick Cannon Apologizes & Makes “Wild N’ Out” Demands After ViacomCBS Firing
Nick Cannon was fired from ViacomCBS, a conglomerate that is made up of MTV, BET, Logo, VH1, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and more over his anti semitic remarks, claiming White people are “savages” and Black people are the “true Hebrews” while speaking about the “power of melanated people.”
The ace comedian has been in some form of partnership with ViacomCBS since his time as an actor on Nickelodeon back in the 1990s.
“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,” the company revealed in a statement.

Nick Cannon has now responded, making demands about the empire he built from the ground up, especially pertaining to Wild N’ Out. He’s fired back in a lengthy Facebook post titled “Truth and Reconciliation.”
“I must apologize to my Jewish Brothers and Sisters for putting them in such a painful position, which was never my intention, but I know this whole situation has hurt many people and together we will make it right,” he began.
“If I have furthered the hate speech, I wholeheartedly apologize. But now I am the one making demands. 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!”
The actor claims that he reached out to the owner of ViacomCBS, Shari Redstone, to have a “conversation of reconciliation.” Those claims were denied almost immediately by Viacom, who issued the following statement.
“It is absolutely untrue that Nick Cannon reached out to the Chair of ViacomCBS,” wrote a spokesperson for the network.
Truth and Reconciliation.
I am deeply saddened in a moment so close to reconciliation that the powers that be, misused…
