Nick Cannon Says Nicki Minaj/Mariah Carey Feud Is Theatrics

Neither Nicki Minaj or Mariah Carey have issued a formal statement about the exchange of words they had on Tuesday night at the American Idol auditions in Charlotte, North Carolina.

It is reported the whole thing exploded over a disagreement over a contestant’s performance.

Mariah Carey’s husband Nick Cannon commented on the incident:

“My wife is the strongest and classiest woman that I’ve ever met,” Cannon stated about how Carey handled the situation. “If you watch the video, she just maintains her composure. … I don’t think she’s moved by the theatrics and pageantry of it all. She signed up to do a job to help young people. … This is like a sidebar. I hope that’s not what this show becomes, about the catfights. The show is solely about a singing competition. That’s why America loves these shows, they want to see people reach a certain goal or win … and then to make it about something it’s not, [it] kind of shows that the producers and the network are losing their foot a little bit.”

He also said, “She called me and we were talking about the kids. … At the end of the day, she’s a mom, and that’s my wife. … We got diapers to change and kids to raise,” he said. “I think that [avoiding on-set drama] was one of her main concerns. … [She] signed up to be a mentor on a show that is about people accomplishing their dreams.”

The next stop is Baton Rouge, Louisiana and TMZ is reporting that everyone is getting along, for now.
