Nick Cannon Apologizes For Controversial Remarks

Nick Cannon is apologizing for the anti-Semitic remarks he made during a recent podcast episode that cost him his relationship with ViacomCBS. Nick Cannon tweeted, "First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin... They reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people and I feel ashamed of the uninformed and naïve place that these words came from... While the Jewish experience encompasses more than 5,000 years and there is so much I have yet to learn, I have had at least a minor history lesson over the past few days and to say that it is eye-opening would be a vast understatement." While ViacomCBS ended their relationship with Nick Cannon, Fox said in a statement that Nick Cannon will remain the host of the Masked Singer. The network said in a statement, "Nick has sincerely apologized, and quickly taken steps to educate himself and make amends."

Twitter Accounts For Barack Obama, Kanye West & Elon Musk Hacked In Massive Security Breach

Twitter accounts for a number of high-profile individuals were hacked yesterday! Some of the people that were hacked include former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, Kanye West, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, and Warren Buffett. The hack was all a part of an apparent cryptocurrency scam. The security breach also targeted major companies including Apple, Amazon, and Uber. Once the accounts were hacked, they transformed into zombie Twitter accounts that advised their followers to send bitcoins to a secure address, promising that the money would be returned at double the amount. I'm sure we've all received a spam email like this before! Thankfully, many of the tweets were deleted within minutes of being sent, and the attack was contained in about an hour. This is now the worst hacking scandal in Twitter history.

In case you were wondering, Kanye 2020 said they are affiliated with the BDY, which is the Birthday Party. Kanye West would still have to file more forms to make things official, but it looks like he took some first steps in the process!
