ViacomCBS fired Nick Cannon after he "promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories," according to the media company.
"ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism," ViacomCBS said in a statement per The Hill. "While we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologise for perpetuating anti-Semitism, and we are terminating our relationship with him."
Here is the rant that got Cannon in trouble.

Cannon took to Twitter to let his four million-plus followers know that he did not have "malice intentions" with the remarks he made.
Anyone who knows me knows that I have no hate in my heart nor malice intentions. I do not condone hate speech nor the spread of hateful rhetoric. We are living in a time when it is more important than ever to promote unity and understanding.
