He shared messages to his \"Jewish sisters and brothers\" about how apologetic he is, revealing he has spoken to Rabbis, community leaders and institutions to learn more about the issues with his comments.

\"I want to assure my Jewish friends, new and old, that this is only the beginning of my education—I am committed to deeper connections, more profound learning and strengthening the bond between our two cultures today and every day going forward,\" he wrote in another tweet.

Cannon was fired by ViacomCBS earlier this week due to the anti-Semitic remarks he made.

In a statement to \"Good Morning America,\" a ViacomCBS spokesperson said, \"ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism.\"

\"We have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast 'Cannon's Class' on YouTube, which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories,\" the spokesperson continued. \"While we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism, and we are terminating our relationship with him.\"

The media company added that it is \"committed to doing better in our response to incidents of anti-Semitism, racism, and bigotry\" and said it will release more on its \"efforts to combat hate of all kinds.\"
