"Herman Cain and I were very close friends.  He was an incredible  mentor for me. As a matter of fact he was just in our home (June 18, 2020.)  We were having a party before the premier of the documentary "Uncle Tom" which Mr Cain and I both appeared in" said Allen.

He praised Cain his scientific mind and business acumen.

"Another thing people don't realize was that he had a brilliant scientific mind.  He worked for the Department of Defense and he was instrumental in the developing a missile weapons system" Allen said.

Allen declined to comment on the circumstances of Mr. Cain's death and his inclination not to wear a mask.  Cain was seen at a rally for President Trump on June 20 that was held in Tulsa.  He was not wearing a mask.  Nine days later he tested positive for the coronavirus.  Cain was most recently hospitalized for the virus in the  Atlanta area.

"America is going to miss him" said Allen.​
