The Nick Cannon and Eminem drama shows no signs of stopping, as it came back into full force last year and keeps on going. The two have been back and forth for some time now, with Nick Cannon now saying Eminem is the product of racism.
In Cannon’s third diss song, ‘Canceled: Invitation,’ Nick Cannon bravely sampled an old pre-fame Eminem track that saw him rap, “Black girls are bitches, black girls are dumb,” asserting that Eminem is racist. Oh, and he also compared him to the KKK. So yeah, that happened.
In an interview with DJ Vlad, he revisited that resurfaced record of Eminem’s. “Very racist, beyond racist,” Cannon said when the unearthed track was brought up. “If you listen to the entire song, it’s clearly a song where he’s blatantly disrespecting black queens. Not beating around the bush. What he said is, ‘Black girls are bitches, black girls are dumb. They only want your money.'” Vlad added that he heard from sources there were more early songs from Eminem with questionable content, to which Cannon replied, “Yeah, where he’s saying n***a and all that shit.”
Cannon then said that it’s disappointing to see how people have defended the track, which he added could have resulted in someone else being “cancelled” in the current sociopolitical climate.
“You know what the defence was? ‘He already apologised for that,'” he continued. “Probably the weakest apology ever, ‘I was young and I had a black girlfriend who cheated on me and I was mad.’ … He’s sorry for his individual racism, definitely, I believe he’s sorry for saying for the things he said when he was younger. But he’s not sorry for institutional racism, because he’s a product of it.”
In another portion of the interview, Cannon made the accusation that Eminem had been getting extensive work done to his face.
“Eminem doesn’t look the same as the way he once looked,” Cannon said. “The proof is in the pudding. It could be years of drug use. You know, we don’t want to make fun of any of that. It seems like he’s on the right path but something going on. His shit’s getting tighter and tighter as the years go by.”
