Nick Cannon Gets into Nasty Twitter Feud with Chelsea Handler

Nick Cannon blasts Chelsea Handler on Twitter for saying he doesn’t have the skills to do a comedy tour

Chelsea Handler is “white trash,” manly and incredibly rude and untalented, Nick Cannon says on his Twitter, after she called him out for an announcement that he’d be going on a comedy tour soon.

Though Nick mostly uses his Twitter to talk about himself or his projects, this time, he turned it into a weapon to discredit Chelsea, who seemed to have a problem with his plans for a comedy tour.

“I just heard nick cannon is starting a comedy tour. Who’s going to do the comedy?” Handler tweeted over the weekend.

As many in the blogosphere point out, this is a mild comment from someone as harsh as Chelsea – plus, it’s funny, which more than compensates for being rude.

Nick, of course, didn’t see it that way, deciding not to take this sitting down and unleashing quite a wave of verbal abuse at the television hosts.

While some of his tweets are too offensive to be reproduced here, suffice it to say that they paint a very bad picture of Chelsea: she’s a talentless man who’s slept her way to the top.

“@50cent was hitting @chelseahandler they was just sharing testosterone tips,” Cannon writes, referring to a recent rumor according to which rapper 50 Cent is dating Handler.

“@chelseahandler Looks like she got hit in the face with a hot bag nickels,” the singer turned aspiring comedian goes on to say.

“Everyone knows @Chelseahandler had sec [sic] with the head of E! for her show. So when its caneled [sic] does he get residual [expletive] for the reruns,” Cannon goes on.

He then expands on the topic, including others who have previously picked verbal fights with him – and calling all of them “white trash” for doing so.

“@Chelseahandler @Howardstern @Eminem Why do all these angry ugly whitetrash folks want beef with me? What I do? I’m a harmless corny dude!” he says.

“@chelseahandler is like the new @joanrivers just without the funny and more plastic surgery,” Nick says in a final diss.

However, it could be that reaction to his reaction was not what he’d expected, for minutes later, he returned on Twitter to explain why he’d been so upset with Chelsea for what she said – and why he reacted the way he did.

I never start stuff with anyone. I like making people smile. But y’all know the enemy is busy... but I will not be bullied...” Nick says.

Notice the editor's name is Elena Gorgan, which explains the pro-Chelsea take on this story. The title itself suggests Nick instigated the feud (which he didn't), and the central focus on his (and his only) negative comments paints Nick as the bad guy in this case. Chelsea herself made many negative and even racist remarks against Nick, with "grape soda" jokes being tossed around. Comparing Chelsea to Nick in terms of comedic talent is like Steven Hawking debating with Christopher Reeve about who is the better dancer.

I think Nick Cannon 'comedy' will be him doing his impersonation of Russell Simmons, "Thanks for coming out! Good night!"

I understand Chelsea's point of view concerning the "Cannons".She's a genuinely nice and smart lady.So Chelsea next time you wanna clean out the trash make sure you call the Trash Removal Charleston
