Nick Cannon was recently blasted for anti-Semitic comments which cost him his position with ViacomCBS and made him suicidal. The comedian has since apologized and is hoping to maintain the full ownership of ‘Wild ‘N Out‘ .

Nick had an interview with Cooper, who is the associate dean and director of Global Social Action Agenda at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, for an episode of Cannon’s Class.

Jay Electronica shared his take on Nick Cannons’ talk with Rabbi Abraham Cooper in a series of tweets, which many fans term as anti-Semitic. Electronica says Cooper lied “about the history of the Caucasian race.”

“Rabbi Abraham Cooper is a COWARD who LIED to our brother Nick Canon about the history of the caucasian race,” the rapper says in the first tweet. “Ask him does he stand behind the VILE TEACHINGS of the Talmud? Don’t be a coward next time Cooper you DEVIL.

“Sit down w The Hon. Louis Farrakhan or The Exec Council of The NOI and defend your claims and prove us wrong. WE are INDEED THE TRUE Children of Israel. And you are an imposter and birthright stealer as described in the scriptures. The ADL, THE WEISENHALL CENTER… BRING EM OUT.”

I know most of you are asleep right now, but it appears that Jay Electronica has taken up the baton from Wiley.

Now posting Farrakhan videos and urging people to read the deeply antisemitic work produced by NOI that falsely blames Jews for the slave trade.

I know it’s trendy to be antisemitic amongst your peers, but maybe you should take a long hard look at what is going on in this country regarding race and hatred, and maybe SIT THE FUCK DOWN.
