The Controversy & Backlash

To say Nick Cannon has been going through it as of late, would be an understatement. As many of us have already heard, the brotha has been catching heat from both sides of the fence, regarding his recent comments about Jewish people  that were ultimately deemed to be anti-Semitic, during his interview of Professor Griff on his podcast. Many African American fans felt that Nick was speaking truth and should not have apologized for stating that he believes that Black people are the ‘true Hebrews.’

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

After his controversial statements, Hollywood and many people (of various races) felt that he was being racist with his statements. Therefore, after a years-long run with ViacomCBS for his Wild N’ Out Show, Nick was axed as the host. As a result of that backlash, Nick admitted that he was feeling suicidal.

Fast forward to now and he has caught even more flack for the new video (above) he’s dropped on his Instagram page. The video reflects him seemingly re-enacting George Floyd’s killing at the hands of Minneapolis police. He was actually attempting to spread awareness about the unjust murder of George Floyd and so many other African Americans. But yet again he sparked mixed reactions with it. Many of his fans were appreciative that he was continuing to be a voice against injustices, while others felt that he’d lost that right when he decided to ‘backtrack’ on his prior statements.

His Woman Stands Beside Him

Throughout all of the emotional and psychological challenges Nick seems to be navigating through at this time, there is one woman standing with her man through thick and thin. That woman is the beautiful supermodel, Jessica White (pictured above, and below with Nick). Although Mariah Carey is half Black and half White, for a while, Nick’s fans assumed he only had ‘one type.’ However, after seeing his current bae, they’ve applauded their #BlackOnBlackLove.

Apparently, after Nick and Mariah separated some years ago, Nick and Jessica reportedly started dating in 2015. According to reports, they kept their relationship on the low at that time, out of respect for the situation regarding Nick’s kids; and he and Mariah’s pending divorce. Jessica revealed that they have been off and on ever since, and will “always” be the love of each other’s lives. The model even stood by her man when Nick had a baby with his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Bell…just like she’s standing by her man to this day, amid the major flack he’s catching.

Jessica White also made that clear in several Instagram posts. Check them out below:

She also made reference to Will and Jada’s “entanglement” in this post:

Not sure how Mariah Carey (who shares a twin son and daughter with Nick) feels about Nick’s girlfriend, Jessica; nor the mother of his 3rd child, Brittany Bell…but hopefully they’re all one big, blended happy family.
