'Clueless' Nick Cannon Faces Backlash for Praising Donald Trump: 'He Did What He Said He Was Going to Do'

Nick Cannon is facing heat online after praising Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as the "party of the KKK."

Cannon, 45, spoke about his controversial beliefs in a conversation with Amber Rose during an episode of his YouTube show, Nick Cannon's Big Drive.

The model, 42, started the conversation by saying she was a "former liberal" who was now part of the Republican Party because "Democrats don't care about Black people."

"I agree with you 100 percent. People don't know that Democrats is the party of the KKK," the Wild n Out star replied. "People don't know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves."

Though the Republican Party was technically a driving force behind emancipation during the Civil War, in recent times, the KKK has been clear about its support for the right.

While he shares similar conservative views with Rose, he admitted he just wasn't as "outspoken" about them. The media personality said he didn't necessarily "subscribe" himself to either party, instead agreeing with W.E.B. Du Bois, who called the American political system, “one evil party with two names.”

Du Bois was a civil rights advocate and writer who founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909.

Rose said she agreed with "a lot of things" that Trump's done during the second term of his presidency.

"Motherf----- is cleaning house," Cannon interrupted. "He did what he said he was going to do."

A snippet of the conversation quickly made its rounds on social media, with many sounding off their harsh critiques in the comments section.

"People will destroy themselves for ratings on a podcast. The blind leading the blind," said one user via X, while another added, "They both sound clueless."

"She and Nick Cannon are tone deaf, woefully ignorant, not educated, nor informed regarding the complete facts surrounding the history of the Democratic Party," a third chimed in. "They both look and sound like Buffoons."

Rose previously spoke out about being "canceled" after speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention, where she told millions of Americans that “Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, white, gay or straight. It’s all love."

"During the election, I was ‘canceled,’" Rose told Maxim in February 2025. "Now? All the naysayers are quiet. They see he’s already changing our country for the better."

She added, "On the left, there’s no objective truth. It’s only about feelings. As a society, we all need to get back to reality and have these difficult conversations to bring us all back to a better place.”
