Nick Cannon could personally hate Nugent but professional has to outweigh the personal. Cannon is not like other radio show hosts who have been in the radio game long enough to pick and choose his guests and even make guests feel unwelcome. Tom Joyner, for example, is a host who either would not have had Nugent on his show or would have found a way to clown Nugent.
(2) Not if you wanted to keep your show. White people are probably a large part of Cannon's show in terms of behind the scenes and the audience. Some of these whites either don't see anything wrong with Nugent's perspective or disagree with Nugent but respect freedom of speech.

This. I listened to that whole show. Clearly, he makes the show more about what the guest has to say than about what Cannon himself had to say. I enjoyed the show and am subscribing. I'm not sure Ted Nugent was the very best person to present that side of the issue. Cannon then brought on another guest who presented the other side very eloquently.
