Nick Cannon, host of “America’s Got Talent,” has his own skill besides rapping — getting into hot water for anti-abortion remarks.
On Friday, Cannon told Splash News Online at LAX that abortion is “modern day eugenics.”
The New York Daily News summarized the brouhaha: “The ‘Wild ‘N Out’ host also accused Planned Parenthood of engaging in ‘population control,’ standing by his initial remarks that the group perpetrates genocide by abortion, TMZ reported.”
Cannon told the radio show: “Think about all the stuff they did with Planned Parenthood and all that type of stuff. That type of stuff is to take our community — and forget gentrification, it’s real genocide, and it’s been like that for years.”
Social media mocked Cannon:
