Nick Cannon & Zeus Network Hit With Lawsuit Over “Wild ‘N Out” Knockoff

HonkMagazine

Nick Cannon is once again making headlines, but this time for a reason that could land him in legal trouble. Viacom International Inc., the company behind MTV, has filed a lawsuit against him and Zeus Network over their new show, *Bad vs. Wild*. Viacom claims that Cannon’s show is a direct copy of their long-running series, *Wild’ N Out*. According to Viacom’s lawyers, *Bad vs. Wild* closely resembles *Wild’ N Out*, using many of the same ideas and elements without creating something new. Attorney George W. Kroup stated, “Zeus copied parts of *Wild’ N Out* when making *Bad vs. Wild*, and they knew they weren’t allowed to do that.”

Things get trickier because Cannon has been a big part of *Wild’ N Out* for years. Not only did he host the show, but he also played a crucial role in its fame. Viacom argues that by working on *Bad vs. Wild*, Cannon is breaking his contract with them since the new show competes directly with their program. This situation could spell big trouble for Zeus Network, known for its bold and unfiltered reality shows. Viacom is sending a clear message that there’s a big difference between being inspired by a show and copying it outright.

The big question now is whether this legal dispute will end up in court or if Cannon and Viacom will reach a behind the scenes agreement. Lawsuits like this can get messy, and fans of both *Wild’ N Out* and Cannon’s projects are eager to see what happens next. In the entertainment industry, being original is very important. If Viacom gets its way, they’ll ensure everyone understands this message, including Cannon.
