After Kim Kardashian got cold feet at a Prince concert this week, she found an unlikely ally in Howard Stern.

Stern, a self-described huge Prince fan, said this morning on his Sirius XM radio show that even though he'll always love the Purple One's tunes, he doesn't like what went down with a nerve-wracked Kim during Monday's show at Madison Square Garden. In fact, the shock jock is so steamed, that he called Prince "f--ked in the head" for the stunt.

And it didn't sound like Stern was joking...

"He seems to be an arrogant asshole lately," Stern said, saying that he loves him as a performer but as a "human being" he's a "scumbag."

"The guy is just weird, he gives concerts with the lights out," he laughed.

Stern felt for Kim, saying Prince "humiliated" her and that she wasn't prepped on what to do or told that she was going to be pulled up on stage in front of the entire crowd. 

"She doesn't know what to do. Apparently she's supposed to dance like a stripper for him and she just stood there not knowing what to do. He throws her off the stage because she can't read f--king Prince's mind. He's a bulls--t artist. I'm done with him."

But sidekick Robin Quivers disagreed, saying that Kim goes to concerts just for the attention.

"She shows up to things and leaves after ten minutes after she's put on camera," Quivers argued.   

To Kim's credit, she didn't flub her second chance. A few hours later, following an afterparty, she was back on Twitter:

"Went up on stage AGAIN! This time I redeemed myself! We all danced while Prince played the piano! Wow! What a night!"
