Queen Latifah Cancels Bill Cosby Interview Following Rape Allegations [VIDEO]

Following comments made by comedian Hannibal Buress during a recently standup show, in which he highlighted the fact that famed comedian Bill Cosby has had numerous rape allegations pinned on him over the years, it looks as if things are going south quickly for the noted Cosby Show star. After the Internet had a field day with the audio from Buress' show, TMZ has reported that Queen Latifah has canceled a scheduled interview with him on her daytime talk show.

Cosby was scheduled to appear on the CBS show in order to promote his new comedy tour, but apparently she "got cold feet," as the gossip site notes. They claim that sources say Latifah didn't want to be associated with a man such as Cosby, who has been accused of rape by 13 women.

TMZ notes that the show is "particularly sensitive" due to a viral video that went down following a 13-year-old homosexual child going ballistic after winning tickets to see Ru Paul. So... because of that, no Cosby. And probably those aforementioned rape allegations as well.

MStars News first reported on the Buress-Cosby beef last week. During his show, Buress began talking up the once-upon-a-time TV star, saying, "[Cosby] gets on TV, 'Pull your pants up black people, I was on TV in the '80s. I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom."

He then added, "Yeah, but you rape women, Bill Cosby, so turn the crazy down a couple notches. 'I don't curse onstage.' Well, yeah, you're a rapist, so I'll take you saying lots of mother*ckers."

Vulture has shared the video of Buress' bit, which you can watch below:
