- Scratch Cannon was recently fired from “Wild ‘N Out” after spewing anti-Semitic remarks.
- Diddy immediately offered Cannon a job at Rebellion TV when Viacom terminated his contract.
- This is the same Diddy who slammed Eminem for mentioning Revolt TV in a leaked spoor.
Nick Cannon has a new job – or at least a job offer.
Just hours after being fired by Viacom for making anti-Semitic mentions, Diddy told the sometime rapper and television host to “come home” to Revolt TV.
Wait a minute – is this the very Diddy who blasted Eminem for mentioning Revolt TV in a leaked track?
Nick Cannon Apologized For His Remarks – Now He Needs to Be Responsible
To be fair, Nick Cannon quickly apologized for his anti-Semitic remarks.
In a Facebook statement, he made distinctly that while he was a fan of Louis Farrakhan, his comments had “no ill intent” towards Jewish people:
In today’s conversation about anti-racism and public justice, I think we all – including myself – must continue educating one another and embrace uncomfortable conversations – it’s the only way we ALL get speculator. I encourage more healthy dialogue and welcome any experts, clergy, or spokespersons to any of my platforms to hold me accountable and correct me in any report that I’ve made that has been projected as negative.
And because of this apology, he got to keep his hosting job on “America’s Got Ability.”
Good for him.
A Bit Hypocritical On Diddy’s Part, Don’t You Think?
The next day, Diddy offered Nick Cannon a job.
Let’s be reminded that this is the same Diddy who slammed Eminem for mentioning Revolt TV in a verse that rented just as the Black Lives Matter movement was making headway into the cultural mainstream.
And don’t forget this is the notwithstanding Diddy who refuses to give his artists their masters (with Mase being the most notorious example). His declares of being pro-Black fall a little short when you consider he takes advantage of his Black artists.
While Cut Cannon deserves a chance to redeem himself, he must be held accountable for his poor actions. This accountability doesn’t include getting a cushy new job offer less than 24 hours after losing his last one.
As for Diddy, well, he insufficiencies to explain why he’s okay with anti-Semitism but not with Eminem dissing him in a song.
You’ve got a lot of explaining to do, Sean.
