Howard Stern Made This Rapper Cry When He Eliminated Him On America’s Got Talent

Howard Stern threatened to quit “America’s Got Talent” and said the experience made him feel “so evil.”

When Howard Stern first became known, it was as an outrageous radio personality. He was known as a “shock jock” and Stern seemed to enjoy offending as many people as possible. Whether it’s his offensive jokes or the way he treated some of his guests, Stern’s past still comes back to haunt him.

Stern has since apologized to many of the celebrities he has spoken badly about in the past. He has also shown his softer side during his judging stint on America’s Got Talent.

Stern, however, threatened to quit the show after making a 7-year-old contestant cry during his audition. It was a glimpse into how much Stern has evolved since his early radio days.

Howard Threatened To Quit ‘America’s Got Talent’ After Making A 7-Year-Old Contestant Cry

When 7-year-old rapper Mir Money hit the stage on America’s Got Talent, he made quite an impression. He began his audition by telling judge Howie Mandel that if he won, he would use the money to “take care of” his family.

However, when the 7-year-old began rapping, fellow judge Howard Stern got only a few seconds into the performance before hitting the “X.” Mir Money began tearing up on stage. Then, it became clear that Stern felt bad, so he got on stage and spoke to the child.

“No one likes hitting the ‘X’ on a 7-year-old. You’re very brave to get up there at 7 years old,” Stern told him. “I’ve met many great rappers. I’m on the radio. I interview them. None of them are quite as good as you.”
