Dwyane Wade attempted to clarify an earlier statement supporting Nick Cannon on Wednesday, one day after ViacomCBS fired the entertainer for expressing anti-Semitic views on his podcast.
"I was too quick to respond without being fully informed about (Cannon's) hurtful anti-Semitic remarks," the retired NBA superstar tweeted. "As you know I have ZERO tolerance for any hate speech!"
Wade was referring to a since-deleted tweet that read, "We are with you," in reference to Cannon.
"I was not supporting or condoning what Nick Cannon specifically said, but I had expressed my support of him owning the content and brand he helped create," Wade said in another post.
Cannon had hosted TV show "Wild N' Out" since 2005.
