Nick Cannon and Zeus are facing some much-deserved backlash after promoting a divisive colorist event. 

The comedian partnered with the streaming platform for this week’s Las Vegas event titled “Bad vs. Wild – Dark Skin vs Light Skin.” He shared the flyer on his social media platforms, which immediately angered many.  Cannon has spoken at length about colorism and self-hate within the African-American community, which is why his participation in such a blatantly divisive occasion is off-putting for many of his fans. Even a Baddies fan page criticized the flyer, writing, “A Black Network came up with this…@The_ZeusNetwork This is not a good look.”

Cannon has since deleted the post, though the damage is already done. Zeus also altered the flyer, removing the “Dark Skin vs Light Skin” line and replacing it with “Chocolate Goddesses vs. Caramel Goddesses,” which some still consider to be in poor taste.

Cannon has not issued an official statement about the internet fallout despite catching the bulk of the backlash. However, it seems that he would have seen the advertisement prior to it going public as it reads, “Nick Cannon Presents,” an indicator that the “Drumline” star was heavily involved in the project from the start. Nevertheless, it seems Cannon is hoping the backlash will die down, as he is back to posting inspirational posts and skits on his Instagram.
