*Nick Cannon intends to hit ViacomCBS with a $1.5 billion dollar lawsuit after he was dropped last month over anti-white comments.
Cannon is now demanding the rights to his MTV show “Wild ‘N Out,” according to the Shade Room.
“It is just that simple, Wild ‘N Out belongs to Nick!” his team told the outlet. “The show was created by Nick Cannon with his idea and original thought. Wild’N Out has brought billions of dollars in revenue to Viacom since 2015. And Nick deserves and has earned everything it is worth.”
ViacomCBS cut ties with Cannon following backlash for saying Black people are the true Hebrews of the Bible. The Jewish community decided that was “hateful speech” and condemned the media mogul for failing to “acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism.”

Yesterday during an AJC Advocacy Anywhere event, @NickCannon answered questions about his previous antisemitic statements and spoke about the importance of atonement.
“As our shared faiths know, atoning is something that we go through to make ourselves better.”

In order to save his Hollywood career, Cannon had to engage in discussion with Rabbi Abraham Cooper about perpetuating stereotypes about Jewish people, per Complex.
“If Viacom believes in growth, equality, education, then Viacom will do what is right and pay Nick what they owe, and give him his $1.5 billion brand,” his team told the Shade Room.
Cannon also chopped it up with Rabbi Noam Marans about forming an allyship between Black and Jewish communities.
“If my goal truly is to break down the walls and barriers amongst communities and bring us closer together, it truly is time to get rid of all of the things that divide us and utilize this moment. I’ll be that sacrificial lamb if I have to be that person that stands firm….” Cannon told Marans, according to Billboard. “A lot of people may have been upset that I apologized, but I feel like that’s what someone of true character is actually supposed to do when they hurt someone. And now, let’s get through this process of truth and reconciliation.”
