Cat fight: American Idol 

 

What Happen?

On American Idol, there has been drama between Mariah Carey and Nikki Minaj. Apparently, Nikki and Mariah have had issues in the past when they collaborated on the single "Up Out My Face" in 2010.  Working together as judges on American Idol is not working. They are having constant bickering and cattiness. Recently,  there was a verbal altercation in North Carolina that required the producers to wrap the show. It was also stated that Nikki Minaj mentioned a gun and threatened to harm Mariah. This has not been confirmed on video or audio. Some have speculated that the drama is to increase ratings for the long running American Idol show!

 Reasons Not To Happen

  • They are too old to behave in child like ways.
  • If these things are seen on television by younger kids, they may think they should behave that way.
  • They both have had successful careers and should not be jealous of one another. 
  • They made themselves look foolish, irresponsible and stooped to very low standards. 
  • They are being unprofessional. If it was a job in the normal world they would've gotten fired. 
  • This beef is like Chris Brown beefing with Michael Jackson.

Solve It

  • Nikki Minaj should stop going on Twitter creating more beef; it's childish. 
  • Mariah Carey should just ignore the comments and walk away. She is a legend/mother and be an example for her kids. 
  • It is a way to work with people you do not generally like- be professional and cordial. 
  • During auditions, if there is a disagreement, they should agree to disagree and let other judges make the tie breaking decision. 
  • Lastly, they need to sit down as ADULTS and solve their disagreements.
