Basically, there's only
enough space at the "American Idol" judges' table for one bad–ass
chic! and Mariah Carey is like , Its me bitch!
Less than a month after
Mariah Carey officially signed on to be a judge for the singing competition,
she's reportedly fuming at the news that Nicki Minaj may be taking a seat
beside her when the show returns for its 12th season next
year. The "We
Belong Together" singer is so upset, she hung up the phone when she was
told that the rapper was this close from signing on, reports TMZ.
Carey, 42, was apparently led
to believe by "Idol" peeps that she would be the ONLY female on the
panel. And not only is Minaj also a woman, she is a full 13 years younger,
which some think only adds insult to injury. I say if you look like Mariah and
you sond like Mariah, you have nothing to worry about! You need to be the
bigger person Mimi!
It's unclear where the
animosity between Carey and Minaj comes from. In 2010, Carey had the
then-relatively unknown rapper appear on her song "Up Out My Face,"
and the two co-starred in its video as fellow Barbie-esque dolls who break out
of their boxes … and then go to a salon. Minaj said she was so shocked Carey
wanted to work with her that she didn't tell many people about the
collaboration — even after they shot the video — because she was afraid it
would get shelved since she was so unknown.
"She's an icon, I've
loved her since I was little, like 'Vision of Love,' 'Someday,'" Minaj
told MTV News at the time. "I was one of those little girls in the mirror
singing her songs with my mother … When I met her, she was so funny and silly.
I thought when I was gonna work with Mariah, [she] was gonna be like this diva.
But we were cracking jokes the whole day. She's a sweet, down-to-earth
person."
Apparently, a whole lot has changed
in just a couple of years!
