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:
