Mariah Carey’s stint on American Idol has been nothing but drama, but the songbird might have reached her breaking point with the feud that is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Last week during a live show, Mariah threw shade to Nicki Minaj that resulted in the female rapper dragging her and accusing her of being old and bitter via her Twitter account. Although rumors suggest both women are questionable for next season, a new report from FOX suggests Mariah is thinking about just walking away from the show all together:
According to a source close to “American Idol,” Carey is so done with her fellow judge’s threats and nastiness she last week threatened not to come to the show this week, despite the show being down to its top three finalists.
“Mariah doesn’t want to come back, Nicki is really disrespecting her and she’s tired of trying to bite her tongue all the time,” an insider told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “One night Nicki tried to be kind of nice, but Mariah didn’t bite, so I guess she figured screw that.”
…But we’re told even if Minaj doesn’t return to the panel next season, Carey won’t be back.
“She’s done with it all. She doesn’t need the platform, and all the drama isn’t healthy for her,” added the source. “She’s also under fire with the producers for not being critical enough of the contestants.”
In related and more positive news for Mariah, she released a new single called “Beautiful” which features R&B’s new sensation Miguel. We’re in love with it already, but check it out and let us know what you think below:
I heard the song a couple of hours ago and I love it. And yes, she should walk away from the show. She doesn’t need it and the drama wasn’t worth it.
Mariah should leave the show. The drama makes both Nicki and Mariah look tacky. I think that’s the reason the show is hurting in ratings. The beef wasn’t a good look.
I agree. I think it’s just best for both of them not to come back next season.
I’m just going to roll my eyes at her wanting to leave the show when she causes a lot of the problems herself. Anyway, I like the song.
This song is hawt! Love it!
This song though…YES!
I love the song…Miguel is so talented.
I’m over their beef. But her new music sounds good. Mariah doesn’t need the show. She’ll be fine and end up better off than Nicki when it’s all said and done.
This song is fiyah! Yes Mariah!
Just end American idol already!
The song is okay. It needs to grow in me.
