Nick Cannon lost a long time friend of his and rapper that was signed to his label, Ryan Bowers to suicide this week which has appeared to be enough to possibly push him over the edge. He said that he had been contemplating continuing his own existence on this planet and said this “powerful warrior” actually had the courage to do it. This comes at a time where Cannon was dropped from his longtime television home of Viacom, who he’s been with over 20 years and received the announcement that his network television talk show, slated to begin this fall will not air this year.
Just a few days ago, Nick Cannon first refused to apologize for remarks he made, considered to be anti-Semitic and then chose to do so after Viacom chose to drop him. Experiencing loss is certainly not going to help things. In fact, suicide rates have been up since the start of this pandemic. Tamar Braxton just attempted suicide the other night and country singer Daniel Lee Martin and actor Hagen Mills from FX’Baskets actually committed suicide during the time of this pandemic.
Being locked in at home happens to bring out some of the worst of people, from domestic violence, such as Gigolos star Ash Armand killing his girlfriend and Bryshere Gray beating his wife to thoughts of suicide, as is the case with Cannon. At this point, he’s been through a lot and we’re praying for him to feel better. And on a personal note, I will add that for those who are after Cannon with torches and knives, often largely on one side of the political aisle, please keep that same energy for both Roger Stone, who this morning called a black journalist, Mo Kelly a “negro,” the President’s senior campaign official Mercedes Schlapp for tweeting a video including the N word where she still happens to be employed and lastly the President for the recent video he tweeted with someone shouting “white power” that he has yet to apologize for. I’m also tired of rhetoric that constantly is attacking black culture from people who want Nick Cannon cancelled with blind spots for their own issues. I’ll also be binge watching Wild N’ Out until further notice.
Y’all: “What Nick Cannon said was dispicable.”
Also, y’all: “Black people like being victims who let Democrats think for them, are indoctrinated slaves that act like chimpanzees when they get mad. They also need to stop being offended when it’s the truth.”
