Nicki Minaj Says Beef With Mariah Carey Is Over Despite the rest of the judges trying to get the two attention-hungry divas to play nice, the beef still seems to be brewing at the American Idol judges table. YMCMB first lady Nicki Minaj recently hinted that things have calmed down between she and Mariah , but have they really? via People Despite her and Carey’s heated exchange during auditions in Charlotte, N.C., Minaj had nothing but kind words for her fellow judges. “We’ve jelled really, really well as a group,” she told reporters. “We have a great chemistry. We have a great rhythm now together, and we really are taking it serious. … We really are rooting for the contestants and we want to find a great American Idol.” Sounds like things are all good, right? Well, not so fast. MiMi the diva had a slightly more shady response when she was questioned about Nicki: But Carey, resplendent in a floor-length red gown and diamond earrings, hinted that perhaps the claws haven’t been fully retracted. She heaped praise upon her long-time friend Jackson, called Urban an “expert” of country music and said of the group, “I think this panel is great because of the diversity.” But she dodged a question about what Minaj brings to the show. “You know, I wouldn’t feel comfortable commenting on that,” she said with a smile. “But thank you for the question.” SMH. These two really need to get it together before the show airs.
