Nick Cannon Gropes Nicki Minaj Puppet, May Actually Be Crazy
When Nick Cannon quit his post as America"s Got Talent host a few weeks ago, it was initially seen as an admirable example of sticking to one"s morals.
The star explained, via a lengthy Instagram post, that he felt as if NBC was treating him "like a piece of property," going on to write:
"There is no amount of money worth my dignity or my integrity."
Like we said: admirable, right?
But follow-up reports proceeded to quote a number of sources, some of which wondered whether Cannon was suffering from some kind of mental breakdown.
They pointed to Cannon"s rant against NBC as evidence of his instability, along with his recent dedication to "spirituality" and multiple social media posts in which Cannon refers to "depression" and insanity.
Aware of this chatter, Cannon has filmed a video of himself in which he states early on:
“People think I’m crazy."
He then goes on sort of validate this possibility.
“They had reports that I have mental issues. Tell us some shitt we don’t know! Nigga, a I was dressing in drag at 17,” he says below, adding:
“I been crazy! They call me crazy ’cause I turned down millions, and millions, and millions … of dollars. I am moving on to bigger and better things, like my mixtape.”
Later on, Cannon compares himself to Albert Einstein, Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
Cannon also makes mentions of:
- Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
- The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma.
- A puppet of Minaj, which Cannon gropes and fondles.
By the end of the footage, Cannon has exposed himself in more ways than one and even suggested he should "f-ck Miley Cyrus."
You need to watch this entire thing. And you need to then grow a bit concerned over Cannon"s mental state…

Nick Cannon Welcomes Baby #3: See the First Photo!
Nick Cannon is a father… again!
The former America’s Got Talent judge took to Instagram to announce the birth of his first child to Brittany Bell.
Cannon already has two children with Mariah Carey.
“Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning! No matter how hard the world may hit you, God always reminds us of our purpose! #TrueHappiness Welcome to Earth Son! Golden “Sagon” Cannon 2/21/17 #Awakened,” Cannon, 36, captioned.
The caption is certainly unsurprising when you consider the drama in Nick’s life over the past few weeks.
He resigned from America’s Got Talent after word got out that he was going to be removed from the show.
This was all down to producers not being amused about a joke he made while doing a comedy show.
Apparently, Cannon was furious at his character being questioned.
He revealed his rage in a lengthy rant that made the world think there was something more going on with him.
He also fired some people close
Now, considering his caption, he’s looking at the birth of Golden as a beacon of hope, or something.
Horrible name aside, hopefully, this post means that he is not actually going off the rails.
Nick was recently dating his baby mama, Brittany, but that one quickly fell apart.
His behavior has been pretty erratic. He seems to be thinking about the past. That’s probably why he brought up that time he dated Kim Kardashian.
With Mariah Carey’s recent New Year’s Eve debacle, maybe she and Nick have more in common than we first thought.
But would Mariah Carey really ditch Bryan Tanaka to return to her former flame?
Don’t bet on it.
What do you think about all of this?
Sound off below!

Nick Cannon: Is He Going Totally Insane?
As previously detailed, Nick Cannon recently walked away from his main job.
The entertainer quit as America’s Got Talent host because he was angry at producers for the way they reacted to a joke in his stand-up special this month.
On stage, Cannon quipped that this gig was great and all… but it did make him worried that someone might take away his “black card” due to the cheesy nature of the NBC reality show.
According to Cannon, executives actually thought about firing him for the remark, which led him to resign his post instead.
In a lengthy Instagram message explaining his decision, Cannon wrote the following:
“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.”
He went on to castigate “The System,” adding:
“There is no amount of money worth my dignity or my integrity.”
Sounds pretty admirable, right?
The guy left a very well-paying job in order to stand up for his honor.
And yet some folks close to Cannon are concerned that the star isn’t strong-willed, he’s just falling off his mental rocker.
Shortly after quitting America’s Got Talent, Cannon fired his longtime advisers, including ID-PR publicist Alla Plotkin and ICM Partners agent Chris Smith.
Moreover, sources tell The New York Post that Cannon has recently “got really into religion,” donning robes and a turban and sometimes referring to himself as “Rev. Dr. Cannon.”
It’s not unusual to find religion later in life, but this Page Six report says Cannon “isn’t attached to a specific religion so much as a general spirituality.”
Which still doesn’t seem like a reason to think someone is going insane.
However, Cannon – who recently spent several weeks in a hospital for complications related to lupus — spent last weekend posting on social media about depression and pain.
To wit:
That’s a whole different story.
With an influx of memes such as the one above scattered throughout his Instagram page, we can understand why some folks are worried.
Cannon’s manager has not responded to The New York Post after it tried to get in contact with him.
But Cannon himself seems to be aware of this chatter.
He shared the following quote by John Lennon on his social page this week:
I think our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends. I think they’re all insane. But I am liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what is insane about it. Don’t you agree?
We guess? We guess we agree?
Or maybe we agree with friends who think he is kind of nuts now?
What do you think?

Nick Cannon Quits America"s Got Talent, Basically Tells NBC: I"m Not Your Slave!
America may have talent.
But it will not have Nick Cannon as the host of one of its most popular reality shows any longer.
In a lengthy Instagram post (and we mean lengthy), Cannon explained on Monday morning why he’s quit his job as emcee of America’s Got Talent.
First, however, some quick background:
On his Showtime stand-up special that aired Friday night, Cannon quipped that he was losing his “black card” by hosting the family-friendly reality competition.
Apparently NBC executives took offense to this joke, to the point where discussions were held about whether Cannon breached his contract and could be fired.
In response, Cannon took to social media and basically beat the network to the punch: he resigned.
“I write this from a deeply saddened and dolorous mindset,” Cannon wrote, adding that he spent “days deliberating” after he learned the “extremely disappointing news that I was being threatened with termination by Executives because of a comedy special.”
Cannon – who typically sticks to light-hearted social media posts about Kim Kardashian and what not – wasn’t close to being finished, either.
He went on to rant against the unfair practice of censorship and how he was being treated like a piece of property.
“This has weighed heavy on my spirit,” he continued. “It was brought to my attention by my ‘team’ that NBC believed that I was in breach of contract because I had disparaged their brand.
“In my defense, I would ask how so? Or is this just another way to silence and control an outspoken voice who often battles the establishment. Recently many of my mentors have cautioned me that soon ‘The System’ would come down on me because I was speaking too many truths and being to loud about it.
“I had no idea that it all would hit so close to home. 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.”
From there, Cannon expressed gratitude for having had a chance to host America’s Got Talent and said he loved the actual job.
But he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he continued to work for a company that treated him in this fashion.
We’ll just let Cannon’s passionate message speak for itself below:
I have loved hosting AMERICAS GOT TALENT for the last 8 seasons, watching talented, brave, and courageous Americans accomplish their dreams in front of millions has been nothing but a joy, and everyone has been a pleasure to work with but my soul won’t allow me to be in business with corporations that attempt to frown on freedom of speech, censor artists, and question cultural choices.
Not to get too detailed but this isn’t the first time executives have attempted to ‘put me in my place’ for so called unruly actions. I will not stand for it.
“My moral principles will easily walk away from the millions of dollars they hang over my head. It’s never been about the money for me, what is difficult to walk away from is the fans, the people who love me on the show. This hurts tremendously.
I felt like I was apart of the fabric of our great nation every summer, representing every culture, age, gender, and demographic.
Now for the rug to be pulled from underneath me and to be publicly reprimanded and ridiculed over a joke about my own race is completely wrong and I have to do something about it.
I have fought many battles in my career and have never been afraid to go up against the system. I have mulled over my process for days and felt it was best to once again speak my mind about an unjust infrastructure that treat talent like they own them.
Maybe it was my mistake for signing the contract in the first place, in which I will take full responsibility and have already taken action to restructure my own team of advisors. I now have to set out on a journey of freedom as an artist.
As I was quoted in a recent interview, ‘You can’t fire a Boss!’ and that is the essence that I possess.
So I wish AGT and NBC the best in its upcoming season but I can not see myself returning. As of lately I have even questioned if I want to even be apart of an industry who ultimately treats artists in this manner. Most of us don’t realize that there are 6 major corporations that control 90 percent of media in America and the amount of minority executives is dismal.
With this being the case, true equality in our industry is impossible. There will always be a “do as I say” mentality that mirrors society’s perception of women and minorities, and only a few will stand up against it. I proudly stand as one of those few, and will gladly take on whatever repercussions that come with it.
I love art and entertainment too much to watch it be ruined by controlling corporations and big business. I believe It’s our duty as artists to make a difference and create change even if it’s one act at a time.
Dr. King said it best, ‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.

Nick Cannon: "Member When I Dated Kim Kardashian?
Sure, Nick Cannon hosts the type of shows where people with little to no talent assess the talents of others, but to most Americans, he’s best known for his relationships.
Nick was married to Mariah Carey for eight years, before participating in the most amicable divorce since Gwyneth Paltrow consciously uncoupled from Chris Martin.
But as he reminded his Instagram followers yesterday, that wasn’t Nick’s first high-profile relationship:
Yes, you were probably aware of it, as they were both squarely on the D-list at the time, but Nick dated Kim Kardashian, and he enjoys periodically reminding the entire world.
We’re sure Kanye loves it.
Of course, when Nick posts a photo of himself with two Kims and a Paris, all it really reminds us of is the fact that this relationship happened a looooooooong time ago.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time that Nick has posted a throwback of Kim, and he previously wound up getting roasted for it on social media.
You’d think he would’ve learned his lesson, but then again, this is a man who was married to Mariah Carey for eight years.
Clearly, he’s not too big on recognizing his own mistakes.
Just kidding, Mariah!
This time, Cannon doubled-down, following up his first post with this photo of himself, Lil Kim and Kanye:
“#tbt Same Night!!! Could it have…. Nah!!! LOL,”
Considering the recent rumors about trouble in Kim and Kanye’s marriage and the fact that West was recently hospitalized following an emotional breakdown, it seems like a bad time to troll Yeezy.
But Nick seems to have no chill with regard to the Kard clan.
In fact, he’s famously claimed that he had sex with ALL of the Kardashians.
We’re assuming he just means Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney.
But who knows? Rob might’ve been involved. The early 2000s were a crazy time.
So far, Nick hasn’t taken much flak for posting the pics online.
Of course, he’s a single man these days, so he’s free to reflect on his former relationships all he wants.
As for why he wants to share those reflections with the rest of the world, that’s anyone’s guess.
Maybe in Nick’s case, we should change the name of #ThrowbackThursday to #ThirstyThursday.

Dane Cook Turban-Shames Nick Cannon on Instagram, Apparently Still Exists
Dane Cook has taken serious issue with Nick Cannon’s latest fashion choice.
In related news, Dane Cook is apparently still alive.
Who knew?!?
But the comedian has chosen to make his presence felt once again in a semi-coherent rant against Cannon that comes across as confusing, misguided, mean and unfunny.
In other words: it’s Peak Dane Cook!
On Tuesday night, Cook WENT OFF on Cannon after photos of the America’s Got Talent host surfaced online from his attendance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
In these images, Cannon was wearing a pink turban on his head.
And Cook… simply… could… not… handle it.
“Last night Nick Cannon wore this sh-t,” Cook began, merely getting warmed up and adding:
“He put this on his head and he looked in a mirror and he walked away from the mirror without saying to himself, ‘Hey self mayyyyyybe I shouldn’t look like Zoltan and wear a f-cking pink turban with one of the infinity stones from Avengers on it.’
He went outside and people didn’t stop him and say ‘Nick Cannon from Americas Best Talents Competition we love you so please remove that from your head please and thank you."”
Maybe they didn’t say this because they know Cannon has a history of wearing turbans.
He does so in order to make a political statment.
But Cook was undeterred. He continued to rant and rave…
“This pic makes me so frustrated that I want to delete it already and I think I will because this makes me want to quit Instagram,” he wrote, teasing us with such a promise.
“Don’t get me wrong Nick is a good guy and he and I go way back but I’m gonna have to call Nick out here and say he Cannon’t wear this f-cking thing again.”
Cook ended his message by trying and failing to make some jokes:
“I just opened my fridge and randomly punched into it in utter disbelief.
“I also just called hammered a nail into my own tire so I could walk into the woods off the side of a rural highway to spit on a birds nest.
“Ahhhh I’ve been ranting since my Voice of Doom 12 years ago on my website. Follow meeeeeeeee. Hahahaahhaah.”
Shortly after Cook’s tirade went viral, Cannon calmly responded on Twitter and Instagram.
“Yo @DaneCook call me so I can explain this Muthaf***in King Business to you!!” the comedian wrote.
He had some fun adding turban emojis and the hashtags, “#MoorishMindset #SikhLife #ReconditioningOurCommunities.”
Indeed, Cannon has donned a variety of turbans in the past, including to this year’s America’s Got Talent finale and the MTV Video Music Awards.
It’s unclear why Cook chose to speak out about this fashion statement now.
It’s also unclear how Dane Cook still has any fans.
We guess some things will forever remain a mystery.
