The Masked Singer USA host Nick Cannon has posted an alarming message on social media hinting at suicidal thoughts.
Last week the 39-year-old was fired by ViacomCBS after making comments that were deemed to be anti-Semitic, although FOX decided to stick by him as host of the mystery singing series.
Posting on Instagram last night, Cannon revealed that his friend Ryan Bowers had died by apparent suicide, describing him as a "powerful warrior" who "actually had the balls to do it".
"Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse... 2020 is definitely the most fucked up year I've ever witnessed!" he wrote. "After waking up & barely rising from my own dark contemplation of continuing my physical existence on this planet, this powerful warrior actually had the balls to do it."
He added: "I am certain that your energy will never die and your Spirit is eternal, so I ask you still to forgive me for letting you down Warrior. I can't help but think if I wasnt so engulfed in my own bullshit I could've been there for you when you finally took your life after several attempts... Fuck this place!! #CantWin #ForLosing🙏"
On Friday it was revealed that Cannon's new daily TV talk show has been pushed back from a September launch to some time in early 2021.
