Cannon , saying black people are the “true Hebrews” and discussing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
The 39-year-old yesterday and said he feels “ashamed”.
But a string of stars have since outrageously come out to BACK his vile remarks, with some adding more anti-Semitic comments of their own.
Radio personality Charlamagne tha God said: “Nick is my guy. I hate it had to be him, but that's what you can do when you have the power.
“And if there's one thing Jewish people have showed us, it's that they have the power.”
'JEWS HAVE POWER'
Diddy and former NBA star Dwyane Wade also came out to back Cannon.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, offered him a spot at his Revolt TV network, inviting him to “come home” to a “truly black-owned” company.
He said: “Nick, my brother, I am here to support you fully in any way you need.
“What we are not going to do is turn our backs on our brothers and sisters when they challenge the system.”
And in a now deleted tweet, Wade said: “We are with you, keep leading!”
But after a storm of criticism, he later posted: “I was not supporting or condoning what Nick Cannon specifically said, but I had expressed my support of him owning the content and brand he helped create.
“I was too quick to respond without being fully informed about his hurtful anti-Semitic remarks.
“As you all know I have ZERO tolerance for any hate speech!”

Cannon sparked the controversy when he said black people were robbed of their “birthright” and were the real “children of Israel”.
He appeared to be backing the controversial racial ideology of the Black Hebrew Israelites – a group that claims black people are the true descendants of biblical Jews.
Some sects within the movement disdain modern white Jews, experts say, claiming the mantle of the religion for themselves.
Cannon said: “You can't be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people. When we are the same people who they want to be.
“That's our birthright. We are the true Hebrews.”
'CLOSER TO ANIMALS'
He also ranted about history “going as deep as the Rothschilds, centralized banking, the 13 families, the bloodlines that control everything even outside of America”.
And he branded white people “savages” and “barbaric” for lacking the “compassion” that comes with melanin or skin pigmentation.
He said: “They're the ones that are actually closer to animals, they're the ones that are actually the true savages.”
Cannon added he was talking about “Jewish people, white people, Europeans” and others.

He later apologized, tweeting: “I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin.”
He said his statements “reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people” and that he feels “ashamed of the uninformed and naïve place that these words came from”.
But he failed to say sorry for his comments about white people.
