About this episode
Nick Cannon and Zeus Network are facing backlash over a competition that pitted dark skin and light skin women against each other.
On Thursday (December 7), Cannon and the television network joined forces to produce a live show called “Bad vs. Wild Las Vegas,” which included Cannon’s Wild ‘N Out stars competing against “Baddies” from Zeus.
Promotional posts revealed there were several themed competitions during the event including “light skin” versus “dark skin.” The theme was immediately hit with colorist allegations, seemingly prompting Zeus to take down one of its posts and upload an edited version that read “Chocolate Goddesses VS Caramel Goddesses.”
