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!”

Peruse of Billboard will show The Clark Sisters have yet another reason to declare victory as their hit reunion single – the first from their 2020 album ‘The Return’ –  reigns as champion of the current Gospel chart.

The win comes just two months after their long-awaited Lifetime biopic, ‘The First Ladies of Gospel,’ ranked #1 on TV ratings and became a critical and commercial homerun in the process.

To still be experiencing this level of success over 50 years into their careers is something they don’t take lightly, as revealed in a recent chat with That Grape Juice correspondent Shar Jossell.

Watch above to see the legendary sister act (sans Twinkie) dish on their enduring impact, latest album, future plans, and so much more as they prepare for the 2020 BET Awards.

UK singer Misha B made headlines last night when she opened up about the racial bias she says she experienced during her tenure on The X Factor. 

The Manchester born songbird was a hot favourite to win the then-popular show, however she saw her wings clipped after being branded a “bully” and other terms historically and unfairly attached to Black women.

In an hour-long Instagram video, she unpacked the various racial stereotypes employed to dim her star – both in front and behind the glare of the cameras.

An experience she says left her feeling suicidal and with PTSD that she still battles with today.

Many were shocked, but someone who won’t be surprised is British Pop royal Gary Barlow – who served as a judge on the 2011 series.

The Take That frontman and Misha’s mentor Kelly Rowland defended her vigorously against the claims uttered by Tulisa Contostavlos – whose merit to even judge the talent of others was always a source of confusion to many.

In his recent memoir ‘A Better Me,’ Barlow opened up about the culture behind the scenes of the show – specifically recounting “bully-gate” and how it came to be.
