'' Rapper Big Boi of Outkast has confirmed in a tweet on Twitter he is shooting an episode on January 29, 2013 in NYC and for people to join in the audience.

He announced he would not be back for 2017, citing creative differences between him and executives at NBC. The resignation comes in the wake of news that the network considered firing Cannon after he made disparaging remarks about NBC in his 2017 Showtime comedy special, Stand Up, Do n't Shoot. `` I love art and entertainment too much to watch it be ruined by controlling corporations and big business, '' Cannon said in a statement, referencing cable giant Comcast 's ownership of NBC. Cannon, however, is technically under contract to host America 's Got Talent and could potentially be sued by NBC for breach of contract, though this is considered unlikely. NBC executives have not accepted his resignation and are stated to be keeping their fingers crossed that he will instead choose to return. On February 16, 2017, Cannon stated that he planned to stand his ground when it came to resigning from America 's Got Talent.

Since 2011, Cannon has served as the celebrity spokesperson for the National Association of Letter Carriers ' annual national food drive, which is held throughout the United States on the second Saturday in May. In November 2016, Cannon was widely reported as commenting on his opposition to abortion, saying that abortion is modern - day eugenics and population control. Controversy Eminem Eminem 's 2009 album, Relapse, contained a track titled `` Bagpipes from Baghdad '', poking fun at Cannon 's wife, Mariah Carey. Cannon responded via his Twitter account, while Mariah released a song and video titled `` Obsessed '', with lyrics and visuals aimed at Eminem. Eminem responded with a mixtape - style track called `` The Warning '' in which he addressed both Cannon and Mariah, and later commented that he was finished talking about the subject. The feud was thought to have been over until in September 2010 when Cannon responded with the song `` I 'm a Slick Rick '', in which he takes shots at Eminem in Slick Rick 's flow over the instrumental for Cali Swag District 's `` Teach Me How to Dougie ''. This was followed by a campaign via Facebook, Twitter, and his radio show proposing a boxing ring fight between Eminem and Cannon for charity. In late September 2011, over a year after `` I 'm a Slick Rick '' was released, Cannon took another lyrical jab at Eminem by releasing a song called `` I Remember ''. On October 3, 2011, Cannon released another song called `` Warning ( Remix ) '' featuring Uncle Murda, aimed at Eminem, radio host Charlamagne Tha God, and the feud between R&B singer Ray J and rapper Fabolous. The song features Cannon firing lyrical shots at Eminem and an audio clip of Eminem with Tim Westwood back in 2009 where Eminem saying : `` I had no idea Nick Cannon was going to start ' wiling out ' on me, '' referring to Cannon 's then canceled Wild ' n Out television show. Cannon retorted to the clip by saying : `` You said it Marshall, that 's all you had to do ! '' and that Slim Shady is `` forgiven. '' On June 2, 2016, Cannon had an interview with Tim Westwood. Westwood said, `` Last time I saw you, you were getting ready to battle Eminem. '' Cannon responded, `` I 'm still ready ! I 'm trying to find him. Where is he ?... We gon na be out in the States for the BET Awards. I 'm holding a $100,000 battle -- whoever wants it -- but it has to be someone who can put up 100 grand... I done reached out to Tyga, he did n't want it. I went to all Slaughterhouse. I did it like Mortal Kombat, I said I 'll take all of them out to get to the boss. '' Throughout the interview, Westwood goads Cannon along, saying, `` Nick, you 're the best fam. I do n't think you 'd win against Eminem, but you are the best in many other ways. '' Cannon plays along with everything and says, `` At least tell him to show up to the match. I ca n't win by default. '' On June 16, 2016, Cannon pours out his heart in a track titled `` Divorce Papers. '' He recently refused to sign divorce papers with his ex-wife Mariah Carey. He also mentioned his father passing away. Cannon used some lines in the track as a response for the hate comments he had from Eminem 's fans, who are known as `` Stans ''. He mentions Eminem in a few lines. He said that he can relate to the drug life Eminem had. `` Em, right now I could really relate to him. Drug habits, all the pain that he was in. '' The last thing he mentioned in the track, he talks about himself finally signing the divorce papers. `` It 's been over two years and I 'm the one that 's been waitin '. It 's fucked up that the time that you spend with your own kids is called ' visitation ' ? Man, fuck it, let 's sign these papers.
