Say it ain’t so! FOX News reports that Mariah Carey has given “American Idol” her walking papers following a publicity stunt with rapper Nicki Minaj that went horribly wrong and viral. Minaj, 30, allegedly threatened 42-year-old singer Mariah Carey during recent auditions in Charlotte, NC.

Many believe that “American Idol” producers signed Nicki and Mariah to boost the show’s ratings… Smart Mariah! I bet there is a clause in her contract that says she still gets paid or at least a percentage. Thats how she got paid from Virgin records after her flop of a movie Glitter and soundtrack. I think they paid her $75 mil to break the contract!! ROTHFL.. Laughing to the bank once again…..But Guess who may get fired and who is going to miraculously come back, lol. Smart tactics for a smart woman. Children should respect their elders… (Hypothetically speaking)..
