American actor and rapper Nick cannon was in the center of a scandal after he called African Americans “real Jews”. The dark-skinned actor was fired from telekooperation ViacomCBS, reports TMZ.

the Company refused to cooperate with cannon, citing anti-Semitic statements the actor made in his podcast Cannon’s Class during a conversation with a former member of the band Public Enemy Professor Griff (born Richard Griffin). Cannon in the podcast said that his words cannot be anti-Semitic because black people are the Semites.

In the same podcast cannon suggested that white people are inferior blacks.

Representatives ViacomCBS said that the company condemns any intolerance and strongly condemns anti-Semitism in any form.

cannon after the scandal did not bring an apology, stating that he never made statements of hate, calling scorbutics to “healthy dialogue”.

the 39-year-old Nick cannon has starred in such films as “Men in black 2”, “Garfield”, “Bobby” and “day of the dead” in 2008.
