Nick Cannon is firing back after being axed by ViacomCBS over controversial comments about race.

As reported, the media mogul came under heavy scrutiny for utterances made on his podcast Cannon Class.

He was seen describing white people as as “a little less,” “closer to animals,” “the true savages,” “acting out of a deficiency so the only way they can act is evil.”

The move saw ViacomCBS sever ties with him – seemingly taking his MTV series ‘Wild N’ Out’ with them.

Now, in a lengthy open letter, Cannon says:

“I demand full ownership of my billion dollar “Wild ‘N Out” brand that I created, and they will continue to misuse and destroy without my leadership! I demand that the hate and back door bullying cease and while we are at it, now that the truth is out, I demand the Apology!”

Tiwa Savage is wasting no time igniting new single ‘Dangerous Love.’

Issued as the first offering from the Afrobeats diva’s new album ‘CELIA,’ the track’s accompanying video arrived moments ago.

The song and its parent LP stand as Savage’s first internationally serviced releases and are helmed by UMG labels Island/Motown.

Speaking on the track, Savage said:

“Dangerous Love is such a vibe! It’s a song that is basically about a girl who is dipping in and out of a ‘relationship’ with a guy that really doesn’t deserve her time or attention. She knows that he is bad for her but she gambling with her heart anyway. I feel like every girl and maybe guys too can relate to this one.”

6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Trollz’ continues to pencil itself in Hot 100 history books.

Beyond becoming the chart’s first co-ed Rap duet to debut at the top, the Sadpony-produced bop was also the year’s highest first-week seller among singles (click here to read more) upon its premiere. In the following week, ‘Trollz’ entered record books for the largest fall for a #1 debut when it plummeted out of the top 30 – a downward trajectory that’s shown no signs of stalling as the song’s dropped over 25 rungs each week since its chart entry.
