It’s been two days since Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban were confirmed as American Idol judges on Season 12.
And there’s already talk of contention among panelists.
According to show sources, Mariah Carey was peeved from the outset over Minaj possibly joining the judging table, considering the outspoken rapper would give the pop legend a run for her diva-like money.
Asked by reporters yesterday about the supposed tension between her and Minaj, Carey dismissed the chatter, saying: “How can we feud in two days? I think a feud takes a little longer.”
Nicki didn’t have anything negative to say about Mariah, either, labeling her very brief Idol experience – which includes a couple hours of auditions – so far as “wonderful.”
Concluded Randy Jackson: “We’re having fun, dude. We’ve been having a good time. There has been a lot of laughs.”
Well… darn. Where’s the gossip related fun in that?!?
