Nick Cannon said he “watched” his “own community” turn on him after he apologized to the Jewish community following his anti-Semitic remarks.
“I hurt an entire community and it pained me to my core, I thought it couldn’t get any worse,” the 39-year-old TV host tweeted to his millions of followers. The comments were noted by TMZ in a piece published Friday. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

It all comes after Viacom announced that Cannon was being let go following his anti-Semitic comments.
On his “Cannon’s Class” podcast, “The Masked Singer” host characterized people with a “lack of pigment” as “the true savages” and “closer to animals” and spoke positively about Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader.
