        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nick Cannon, who was <strong>fired by ViacomCBS</strong> this week for <strong>making anti-Semitic comments</strong> on his podcast, posted troubling tweets early Friday morning.</p><p>&#8220;I hurt an entire community and it pained me to my core, I thought it couldn’t get any worse,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/NickCannon/status/1284004481244336128" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cannon tweeted.</a> &#8220;Then I watched my own community turn on me and call me a sell-out for apologizing. Goodnight. Enjoy Earth.&#8221;</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/NickCannon/status/1284011929023864833" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">He added</a>, &#8220;Y’all can have this planet. I’m out!&#8221; The messages marked his location as &#8220;heaven.&#8221;</p><p>On a recent episode of &#8220;Cannon&#8217;s Class,&#8221; the comedian interviewed rapper Professor Griff, who was briefly kicked out of Public Enemy in 1989 over anti-Semitic comments.</p><p>Cannon suggested on the podcast that his ouster from the group had been unfair because Griff had been &#8220;speaking facts.&#8221;</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Y’all can have this planet. I’m out!</p><p>&mdash; Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) <a href="https://twitter.com/NickCannon/status/1284011929023864833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 17, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p>Cannon also referred to persistent conspiracy theories about Jewish banking family the Rothchilds, and praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who is known for his anti-Semitic remarks.</p><p>ViacomCBS — which owns MTV and TeenNick and has had a decades-long relationship with Cannon — let him go on Wednesday, saying that it wouldn&#8217;t tolerate &#8220;hateful speech.&#8221; He had been the chairman of TeenNick and hosted MTV’s “Wild ‘N Out.”</p><p>Cannon <strong>apologized on social media</strong> the same day, saying, &#8220;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 [Professor Griff].&#8221;</p><p>He added, &#8220;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.&#8221;</p><p>It&#8217;s not the first time Cannon has raised fears for his wellbeing amid a scandal. In 2017, he <strong>suddenly quit &#8220;America&#8217;s Got Talent,&#8221;</strong> and fired his longtime advisers, Page Six exclusively reported at the time. The star had recently spent time in a hospital for complications related to lupus and had posted online about depression and &#8220;pain.&#8221;</p><p>Fox is <strong>keeping him on</strong> as the host of &#8220;The Masked Singer.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
