Nick Cannon Bows Out of 'America's Got Talent'

Nick Cannon is quitting America's Got Talent after making a racial joke recently. Consequently, he was warned by NBC executives that he would be terminated for breach of contract. Cannon hosts a comedy show on Showtime called Stand up, don't Shoot. Watch the video from The Wrap.
The comedian expressed his thoughts about the ordeal on Facebook stating, “I grew up like a real n*****. But I honestly believe, once I started doing America’s Got Talent, they took my real n***** card. They did! Because then, like, these type of people started showing up to my shows.” Cannon allegedly then pointed to three white audience members sitting in the front row. “I can’t do the real n***** stuff no more, because then they’ll put me on TMZ.” Cannon expressed his dismay with the way the joke was perceived. He took to social media to say this, "I find myself in a dark place having to make a decision that I wish I didn’t have to, but as a man, an artist, and a voice for my community I will not be silenced, controlled or treated like a piece of property. There is no amount of money worth my dignity or my integrity.”
