Nick Cannon has revealed that he “f***s with” President Donald Trump and described the Democrats as “the a part of the KKK.”
“People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK [Ku Klux Klan],” Cannon, 45, said within the Friday, March 27, episode of his show Big Drive. “People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves.”
On the time of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party pushed to abolish slavery. By the Nineteen Sixties, several notable segregationist “Dixiecrats” — including Senator Strom Thurmond — modified their allegiances from the Democrat Party to the GOP.
The topic got here up when Cannon discussed politics along with his Big Drive guest Amber Rose, who described herself as a formerly “liberal” Democrat. Rose switched parties to grow to be a Republican lately and endorsed Trump within the 2024 presidential election.
“Democrats don’t care about Black people,” Rose told Cannon on Big Drive. “They don’t care about people of color and the Republicans do. That’s the misunderstanding.”
“You and I actually have some conservative views. You’re just a bit more outspoken,” Cannon replied. “Truthfully, I don’t subscribe to either party. I rock with W.E.B. Du Bois when he said this, ‘There’s no such thing as two parties. It’s only one evil party with two different names.’”
Du Bois was a sociologist and civil rights pioneer who fought for equal rights for Black people within the late 1800s and throughout the 1900s. He died at age 95 in 1963 — only a yr shy of President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat, signing the Civil Rights Act into law. (The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made racial segregation illegal and banned employers from discriminating against job-seekers on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.)
Rose, 42, said that she voted for Trump in 2024 because “we had two options and he was by far the higher option.”

“As of now, I agree with quite a lot of the things he’s doing,” Rose said, with Cannon chiming in, “[He’s] cleansing house. He’s doing what he said he was going to do.”
“I f*** with Trump,” Cannon added later within the interview while praising the president changing the name of the “Gulf of Mexico” to the “Gulf America”.
It’s unclear exactly when Cannon and Rose’s Big Drive episode was filmed. In February, Trump , 79, caused controversy by sharing an AI-generated video that depicted former president Barack and first lady Michelle Obama as apes during Black History Month.
Nick Cannon spoke openly about his attendance at various parties hosted by the now disgraced Sean “Diddy” Combs on the radio program “The Breakfast Club” on Friday, October 11 — admitting he was a “kid” around “16, 17” the primary time he went to 1 in Latest York City. “I live my truth,” the daddy […]
Amid accusations that he was endorsing a blatantly racist video, Trump refused to apologize and told reporters that he “didn’t make a mistake” during a briefing on Air Force One. The White House later blamed a staffer for “erroneously” posting the video and deleted the post entirely.
That very same month, Barack, 64, told Brian Tyler Cohen that the scandal was a chief example of “the clown show that’s happening in social media and on television.”
“[Many Americans] find this behavior deeply troubling … There doesn’t appear to be any shame about this amongst individuals who used to feel such as you needed to have some kind of decorum and a way of propriety and respect for the office,” Obama argued.
