These days, cancel culture has raised the number of public apologies up a staggering two-hundred percent. While some are willing to consider giving second chances, others are far less patient. For T.I, that point of no return has come with regards to both Candace Owens and Terry Crews. The Atlanta mogul recently connected with Nick Cannon to explain the finer points of his reasoning, essentially confirming that his hands were all but washed of the aforementioned two.

Though Tip maintains that canceling people can ultimately lead to further division, he does have a few exceptions in mind. “Some severe cases, like Candace Owens, she got to go,” declares Tip. “She can’t come. She can’t come!” Cannon points out the Tip previously used his platform to attempt discourse with Owens, but it would appear the time for logic and reason has gone through the window. “I think she a paid plant,” he speculates. “Somebody paid her to come out here against speak out against what the majority of us is standing for. She ain’t a double agent, she’s their agent. You’ve never seen her–you mean to tell me there’s no injustice against people of color you’ve ever seen!?”

“When this young lady was in college, something happened to her, an attack,” he continues. “She called out to the community, and she got justice in her case. Ever since then, she seems to have forgotten that she’s black. She has turned in her black card and crossed over.” Tip proceeds to set his sights on Terry Crews, who recently stoked controversy with a tweet critical of Black supremacy. “He’s trying to instruct the community to not be so harsh as it pertains to dealing with white supremacy,” says Tip. “We can’t have Black supremacy because we don’t have the tools to oppress.”

Check out Tip and Cannon’s conversation, with Candace talk taking place around the eighteen-minute mark. 

Terry Crews has been under fire the past couple of days, after the actor tweeted out a stance on how to defeat white supremacy. Crews wrote to his twitter followers: "Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth. Like it or not, we are all in this together."

Despite his intentions, whatever they might have been, the tweet has been at the receiving-end of criticism from both fans and fellow celebs alike. Amanda Seales gave him a full lesson on what is so problematic with his tweet, and his Everybody Hates Chris co-star, Tyler James Williams, has expressed level-headed outrage to Crews over the statement. 

The actor attempted to combat Crews' tweet with his point of view, while also advocating for Crews' good heart: "Terry, brother, I know your heart and you know I have love for you and always will," he wrote in response on twitter.

"No one is calling 4 black supremacy & the narrative that we are hurts our cause & our people. We’re just vigorously vetting our “allies” because time & time again they have failed us in the past." He continued, "Our people are tired of white people who put on a good face a claim they “arnt racist” while operating and benefiting from the privilege of a clearly racist system. We’re not trying to do this alone. We KNOW we can’t. But we refuse to have allies who won’t go the distance."

Crews has issued a series of responses to some of his naysayers on twitter, including Williams. In response to Williams, Crews wrote: "I understand, Tyler. I was not saying Black supremacy exists, because it doesn't. I am saying if both Black and Whites don't continue to work together-- bad attitudes and resentments can create a dangerous self-righteousness. That's all."

He also shared a tweet and message for everyone: "Any Black person who calls me a coon or and Uncle Tom for promoting EQUALITY is a Black Supremist, because they have determined who's Black and who is not." 

He later followed this up with another message, writing, "I believe it is important we not suffer from groupthink, and we keep minds of our own, and be allowed to ask difficult questions to each other. I believe this dialogue is important as we get through this trauma together. I love you." He continued, "Please know that everything I've said comes from a spirit of love and reconciliation, for the Black community first, then the world as a whole, in hopes to see a better future for Black people."

Check out his responses below.

They were father and son on television, and now they've reunited on social media. Tyler James Williams and Terry Crews starred opposite each other on the hit series Everybody Hates Chris, and Crews's recent remarks about white and black supremacy have prompted Williams to come forward. "Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth," Terry Crews wrote. "Like it or not, we are all in this together." Tyler James Williams lovingly responded.

"Terry, brother, I know your heart and you know I have love for you and always will. No one is calling 4 black supremacy & the narrative that we are hurts our cause & our people. We’re just vigorously vetting our 'allies' because time & time again they have failed us in the past," Tyler James Williams tweeted. "Our people are tired of white people who put on a good face a claim they 'arnt racist' while operating and benefiting from the privilege of a clearly racist system. We’re not trying to do this alone. We KNOW we can’t. But we refuse to have allies who won’t go the distance."

Williams made sure to end his series of tweets by saying that his intention wasn't to call out his former co-star, but he didn't want misinformation to become a distraction from the narrative. Check out Tyler James Williams responding to Terry Crews below.

Amanda Seales has spoken out against the controversial statement Terry Crews made on Twitter. It read "Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth. Like it or not, we are all in this together." Reminiscent of his attempt to contradict Gabrielle Union’s claims of discrimination on America’s Got Talent, Crews is once again under fire for his comments.

“How did none of y’all tell me what Terry Crews was over there doing last night?” Seales asked her Instagram followers this morning, referring to Crews’ recent tweet.

She then took to Twitter to set the record straight.

"Just so we're clear: 1: there is no such thing as BLACK SUPREMACY. Liberation from an oppressive system is not rooted in a desire to BECOME the oppressive system," Seales started.

Seales continued her thoughts in a thread: “2: yes, there are people who attempt to measure blackness according to diff methods. My bottom line is EVERY black experience IS a black experience UNLESS it is ANTI-black.”

“3: @terrycrews tweets and previous actions are a demonstration of anti-blackness,” said Seales. “When you use yourself in any way to obstruct the truth of another black person's PRO-BLACK experience you are a coon. He did that with Gab and he's doing that with this movement.”

She concluded the thread with a fourth tweet: “4: A lotta my fellow celebs need their phones taken away and replaced with books. You're not playing a role. You're a role model. We must know our history better than we know their scripts.✊?”

Several individuals have emerged to offer criticism against Crews’ remarks. “I love you as a friend Brother Terry. But I disagree with you 100 %. No such thing as Black Supremacy. That is a tactic that Racist whites use to counteract our rebellion to their horrific treatment of us. It's called Gas lighting. Black pride isn't anti white,” tweeted @GodfreyComedian.

Even Crews’ former castmates from Everybody Hates Chris have put on statements in response to his statement on Twitter.  "I’m not trying to call you out @terrycrews. You know it’s all love always ❤️. But we’re rightfully angry right now and fed up with anyone not with our cause wholeheartedly. I don’t want to see that energy pointed your way or diverted from the cause," said @TylerJamesWill who acted the part of the main character, Chris. 

@TheOrlandoJones, who played Crews' son, tweeted,“Black supremacy? We represent 13% of US population, hold no institutional power & gaslight our coworkers. We got 99 problems and your math isn't the only 1. #StrongerTogether.”

"Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth," he wrote. "Like it or not, we are all in this together."

The post was immediately met with backlash as users on the site began clowning Crews. 

"Black supremacy? We represent 13% of US population, hold no institutional power & gaslight our coworkers. We got 99 problems and your math isn't the only 1," Orlando Jones explained.

"Convinced Terry Crews is a small white man in a large black body like a MIB alien cuz don’t no n***a say shit like this," joked Father.

Crews also came under fire earlier this year for comments he made in response to Gabrielle Union's claims of discrimination on America's Got Talent. "That was never my experience. In fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment," he said, contradicting Union. "When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source. It's funny because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women, so I asked my wife what I should do. She was like, 'first of all, if it's coming from an unnamed source — because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly … if she hasn't made a statement, why would you?'"

Crews later apologized to Union.

Earlier this year, Terry Crews kicked up some dust following his comments about America's Got Talent. The popular competition series has been at war with former judge Gabrielle Union after she alleges she was fired for reporting instances of unhealthy workplace conditions, racism, and misogyny. She recently filed a formal complaint against NBC and AGT producers, and although Terry Crews apologized to Gabrielle Union back in February, he's addressing her once again.

After Union's allegations against the show became public, Crews, who has hosted the show, sat down for an interview. He was asked about his experiences and shared that contrary to what Union faced, he loved AGT and it was a wonderful work environment. He was accused of being tone-deaf and faced backlash, but he remained firm that he doesn't care about what anyone thinks of his opinions, not even members of his family.

He would later apologize, and now he's returned once again now that the Black Lives Matter and George Floyd protests have him doing a bit of reflection. "The murder of George Floyd has forced me to search my heart to find out what more I can do, as a human being, as a citizen, and more specifically as a Black man, to ensure our community can not only survive but thrive in this new world," he tweeted. "Whites have always had privilege in a society that has systemic racism built in, a fact that has been proven over and over again with the senseless deaths of unarmed Black men and women— with no one being held accountable."

"But I also see that I am privileged as man, in a society that also has sexism built in. This privilege carries over into my community as a Black man in relationship with Black women," Crews continued. "It is in this light I want to make further amends with Black women, and in particular @itsgabrielleu for not recognizing the privilege I have - especially in the workplace- and adding this fact to my earlier apology. If we are to move forward as a people we must do the work required to heal the relationships in our community first. To whom much is given, much is required. I have a huge responsibility —and I vow to honor it." 

Terry Crews’ wife, Rebecca Crews, is officially cancer-free following her double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, after she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer only a few weeks ago. Rebecca became extra pre-cautious about her health after her mother had a cancerous lump removed last year, especially since she herself had had a small, pre-cancerous lump removed from her right breast twelve years ago. Unfortunately, following her most recent doctor’s visit a few weeks ago, Rebecca was told she had stage 1 breast cancer. “Though it was Stage 1, you’re overwhelmed with fear,” Rebecca revealed. “Like cancer is this all-consuming, all-powerful evil entity.” However, she had high hopes for her recovery, and remained optimistic. “After the call, I had this clear vision of myself stepping through a door, and on the other side of this door, the sun was shining brightly and I was very happy,” she recalled. “I just had this sense that I was going to be OK.”

However, her husband, Terry, was much more panicked. “My husband has watched me go through a lot, but the look on his face…he looked at me like I was going to die,” she explained. “He told me it felt like his insides were melting. I said, ‘I need you to be strong for me,’ and he said, ‘OK,’ and hugged me, but I think he needed that hug.”

She proceeded to undergo a double mastectomy on March 3rd, and because of this choice, she will not have to go through radiation treatment. While Rebecca is officially cancer-free, she did express concerns about going through recovery amid the coronavirus pandemic. Because her immune system is compromised as a result of her recent health problems, she was anxious about attending her follow-up doctor’s appointments. She also noted how many of the expected side effects in a post-mastectomy patient could be confused for symptoms of coronavirus. “I’ve been so nervous, too, because a couple times I’ve woken up in the middle of the night with trouble breathing and thought, ‘Oh no,'” she confessed.

However, Terry has been nothing but supportive of his wife of 30 years. “I have to give him his props because he’s been cooking for me, helping me bathe, and just really stepping up,” she said. “I tease him all the time, I’m like, Did I have to get cancer to be treated like this?!’”

The America’s Got Talent scandal involving Gabrielle Union has certainly put the popular television program on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Recently, Gabrielle Union made a swift exit from the series over rumors of discriminatory practices by production. The specific accusations made against the show have been enigmatic, but speculative reports suggest that Union often complained about racist jokes and comments made by her co-stars. Eventually, she was released, and there’s been an investigation into the allegations.

Terry Crews came forward in defense of AGT as he was once a host of the show, citing he had a wonderful time on the set filled with both diversity and inclusivity. He seemed to dismiss Union’s claims and faced an onslaught of backlash over his comments. Heidi Klum, who acted as a judge on the series from 2013-2018, also defended the show last month. She, too, became the subject of criticism from the public, and she noted a particular insult that stood out to her.

On Wednesday (February 5), Page Six reportedly caught up with Klum at the amfAR gala at Cipriani Wall Street. “A lot of people got mad at me,” the German-American actress and model revealed. “I was called, for example, ‘a white woman’… I think it is important for everyone to speak their truth. I think that when there is a story, it should be told. I had a different story.” She added, “I can only speak to what I saw — it has nothing to do with what color I am. I am a human so I just looked at what I saw.”

It’s safe to say that Joe Budden isn’t a fan of Terry Crews. The Joe Budden Podcast hosts tackled the topic of the actor’s recent controversial statements on their show in light of Crews issuing an apology to Gabrielle Union. The actor came out to defend the reputation of America’s Got Talent in the wake of Gabrielle parting ways with the series over accusations of discrimination. His response to the backlash also caused a stir, but later Crews took to Twitter to issue a public apology to Gabrielle, a woman who supported him after he came forward with #MeToo accusations against a high-powered Hollywood agent.

Crews previously revealed that he was at a party when the agent groped his private area. He claims that because he rejected the advances, his career has struggled. Budden spoke about Crews’ allegations and said that he believes that “Terry Crews enjoyed getting his d*ck touched by that white man. That is a Joe belief.” Budden laid out the circumstance surrounding Crews’ story and was unwavering with his opinion that there was more to it than meets the eye.

“Here comes Terry f*ckin’ Crews to cape on behalf of America’s Got Talent, saying that in his experience—and I don’t know what affiliation he has with the show ’cause I don’t give a f*ck about Terry Crews,” Budden began. “He was saying in his experience, whatever Gabrielle saw was wrong. They’re mad friendly to black people, Asian people, Russian people….it’s the most diverse workplace that he has ever been apart of. And now he’s on a press run doubling down on that saying my wife told me to say it, my wife said to stand firm and do what I think is right and I ain’t see discrimination, I don’t’ know what [Gabrielle’s] talking about.”

He added, “Terry Crews don’t speak for black men. He don’t speak for me. Terry Crews been shuckin’ and jivin’ for however many years for massa. It speaks to black women and why they feel unprotected by black men.” Check out the scathing clip below.

Terry Crews has been in the news this week for not supporting Gabrielle Union after she was ousted from America’s Got Talent. Crews served as the host of the competition show at the same time that Union served as one of its judges, but Crews recently claimed that AGT doesn’t suffer from any diversity issues, as Union has alleged. When Crews discussed this situation during a recent appearance on The Today Show, he insinuated that the criticisms leveled at the show lacked credibility since they came from “an unnamed source.” However, it’s been public knowledge that Union’s firing was the cause for NBC’s investigation into AGT and people are now shaming Crews for not standing by her. 

In a new interview with VLADTV, former AGT host, Nick Cannon, was asked to share his thoughts on this story. First, he explained what he believes to be the problem with the show. “It was some eye-opening events that occurred that really shed light on some cultural insensitivities – ultimately, when it comes to women, when it comes to how the show is produced,” he said. “I believe, as a producer – I was over at AGT for a damn near decade – you kinda see these things as a giant machine, but if you really take the time to step back, you see some things that are truly not fair… It’s an institutional issue.”

Cannon then expressed his unwavering support for Union. While his sights are more set on the institutional issues that underlie this whole predicament, he suggests that Crews should believe Union’s account the same way people believed Crews when he came forward about being sexually assaulted. “I love Terry Crews, but it gets to that place… again it’s an institutional thing, so I’m not blaming him. We get excited about the occupation, we get excited to work for the man and we gon’ defend the man cause he gave me a job. It don’t matter what you saw because I stood firmly by him when my former agent accosted him… Especially when it comes to our queens, when it comes to Gabby, I don’t care. Whatever she said, if it happened, I’m rocking with you.” 

Crews also received backlash after he tweeted that the only woman he owes anything to is his wife.
