What led to Nick Cannon getting fired?

A couple years ago, this interview was so controversial that Nick Cannon was dropped from Viacom.

In the June 30 episode of "Cannon's Class," the actor and TV host interviewed Professor Griff, a rapper who was a part of Public Enemy before leaving the group after making anti-Semitic remarks.

On the podcast, Cannon said Black people are the "true Hebrews" and talked about anti-Semitic conspiracy theories involving the Rothschild family.

"It's never hate speech, you can't be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people," Cannon said. "When we are the same people who they want to be. That's our birthright. We are the true Hebrews."

A Viacom CBS spokesperson released a statement to Variety, saying that the company's relationship with Cannon is now terminated.
