Nick Cannon has responded to ViacomCBS’ decision to cut ties with him following a controversial episode of his podcast on which he was accused of making anti-Semitic comments. The entertainment mogul who has been working with the company since he was a teenager lost his job faster than the police officers who killed Breonna Taylor.

Cannon said in a Facebook post on Wednesday that he was “saddened” and “disappointed” that Viacom chose “to make an example of an outspoken black man.” He added in the lengthy post that he was being targeted by racist death threats. He also suggested that he would have the final word in the controversy.

“My hope and original goal was to use this moment to show healing and acceptance and prayed that Viacom would use their powers for good. Instead I am now receiving death threats, hate messages calling me an ungrateful Nigger and beyond,” he wrote in part. “Viacom’s goal to keep me from providing for my family and lineage will be foiled. They can try to kick me while I’m down or force me to kiss the master’s feet in public for shame and ridicule, but instead I stand firm on my square with my fist in the air repeating my mantra, ‘You can’t fire a Boss!'”
