Nick Cannon On Kenneth Petty: “He’s Tarnishing The Brand”

Turns out that everyone’s chiming in on the Kenneth Petty and Offset situation, which escalated into a firestorm. For example, apparently Nicki Minaj and her husband targeted Jason Lee, according to new claims the Hollywood Unlocked founder made. While that doesn’t have much to do with Petty’s beef with the rapper, it’s hard to take either without the context of the other. Moreover, Nick Cannon became the most recent celebrity to speak on this incident, and it wasn’t very forgiving. Still, it’s just a lot of gossip and Internet drama at this point, since it didn’t go beyond just a few videos of him and his friends staking ‘Set out.

“He is tarnishing the brand,” Nick Cannon began his remarks. “You’re standing on the corner of the block outside of the VMAs. If you a street dude, be a street dude. Don’t be on the Internet! Street dudes didn’t even get on the phone. Real gangsters move in silence! He got a bunch of other cats around him. ‘Yeah, we outside.’ We know, n***a! I’m all for keeping it street, but keep it street smart. You on punishment, no TV for you for 120 days.

Nick Cannon Speaks On Kenneth Petty Being Street On The Internet

Furthermore, Nick Cannon wasn’t the only celebrity to speak specifically on Kenneth Petty’s street persona. Charlamagne Tha God also offered a similar view on The Breakfast Club. “Number one, you should’ve been let go of all the childish ways of the street, first and foremost,” he started off. “That’s number one. But number two, I remember a time where folks wouldn’t talk about any dirt over the phone. Now y’all recording yourselves in 4K and posting it online? I know law enforcement be having a ball looking at these n***as.”

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj still stands by her husband through it all, and even insinuated that Cardi B had something to do with this. At least, that’s what fans think. In any case, it’s clear that many agree with the father of 12’s assessment of the situation. We’ll see if there’s anything more to this story in the near future.

Nick Cannon Blasts “Red Table Talk” In Wake Of Cancellation

Red Table Talk had become a talk show staple in its short time on the air. Starting in 2018, the show revolved around Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris discussing the big topics of the day. It was a rare success for Meta’s original programming, which had struggled to get off the ground. In fact, it was so successful that it got its own spin-off helmed by Gloria Estefan.

However, the show was abruptly canceled in April 2023. It was part of a wider series of cuts as Meta once again diverted resources toward its virtual reality services. Meta canceled all original programming on Facebook Watch to push its VR service, Horizon Worlds. This coincided with multiple rounds of mass layoffs as Meta struggled financially. But it seems that not everyone is upset about the show ending.

Nick Cannon Is Happy That “Red Table Talk” Is Gone

Cannon stirred the pot on his radio show when one of his co-hosts brought up the cancellation. “If there was no ‘Red Table Talk’ then he wouldn’t have slapped the sh*t out of Chris Rock.” Cannon claimed, referring to the viral 2022 Oscars incident. It appears that Cannon is implying that Jada Pinkett Smith was to blame for the jokes that Chris Rock made about her. He was confronted by co-host Abby De La Rosa, who asked him if he was just referring to that one incident. “I’m talking about that toxic table.” De La Rosa shot back that it was an “honest table”, to which Cannon responded, “Too much honesty can get your ass slapped in the face.” 

“A good slap is what people need sometimes” De La Rosa retorted as the two hosts squared off. It’s a surprising take from Cannon, who had took a both-sides approach to the slap initially. However, while Cannon respects Will Smith, it appears that he’s doesn’t feel the same away about Jada. However, Cannon has never held back from controversy. In 2018, he dug up problematic tweets from female comedians while defending Kevin Hart. Maybe this is just Cannon’s way of pointing out more double standards. Or maybe he just really hated Red Table Talk.
