“ Nick not only apologized and took responsibility for his comments, but he also worked to educate himself and learn about others by engaging with Jewish leaders and on his platforms, ” an MTV Entertainment Group spokesperson told Entertainment Tonight.

Nick had previously insisted that he never intended to spread “hate and propaganda” against the Jewish people.

He said: ‘I know how you could have taken a lot of the things I said as hate and propaganda but it was never my heart and my intentions.

“ I was talking about how amazing black people are, but it hurt so many people who weren’t in this community as I tried to nurture and uplift my own community.

The ‘The Masked Singer’ host offered his ‘deepest and sincere apologies’ following the backlash over his comments, when he admitted to being ignorant and uneducated about the subject of anti-Semitism.

He said in part of a lengthy social media statement: “ First of all, I offer my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin.

‘They reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and beautiful people and I am ashamed of the uninformed and naive place these words came from. The video for this interview has since been removed.

“I am committed to deeper connections, deeper learning and strengthening the bond between our two cultures today and every day in the future.
