Nick Cannon talked about the racism scandal involving Kanye West from last year when he tried to ease the tension between the rapper and the religious community.

The 42-year-old, who was previously accused of antisemitism, stated in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that he had reached out to the ‘difficult’ rap artist in the wake of the controversy: “Kanye is saying some wild ****, and I don’t know if he really believes it,” he said.

“I tried to talk to him. I tried to put him with leaders in the Jewish community. I think it’s a lot more there. I just know he’s in desperate need of help and love and people not to abandon him,” said the father of twelve.

Last year, the Life of Pablo hitmaker was called out for his anti-Semitic comments on social media and in interviews.

The 45-year-old lost a number of sponsorships, relationships, and deals, and his wealth dropped sharply as a result.

In other news, Adidas may keep paying Kanye West fees because the company will sell some Yeezys that didn’t sell.

According to Sportskeeda, the parties used to agree that each sneaker sold would earn them 15% of the sale price.

Despite what people said, CEO Bjrn Gulden didn’t say anything about the situation. But the boss of the company had said before that when the sneakers were sold, the rapper would get a cut.
