Mariah Carey has slammed Nicki Minaj after she rejected a
contestant on American Idol for wearing the same colour eyeshadow
as her.
The two divas feuded on air after the Beauty and a Beat hitmaker
admitted she snubbed Stephanie Schimel because she chose the same
shade of eyeshadow.
Judges Mariah, 42, Randy Jackson, 56, and Keith Urban, 45,
praised the 20-year-old hopeful for her rendition of I Dreamed A
Dream, with Nicki being the only one not to vote her through.
Initially, she said: "I thought your voice is pretty, you are
pretty, but nothing jumped at me. We have seen such magnetic things
today and I don't think you compared to what we have seen
today.
"I do not think you feel like a star. You are not giving me that
thing. I do not feel it."
However, when Stephanie was put through to the Chicago leg of
the show's auditions, Nicki, 30, revealed the real reason for her
snub - they were wearing the same colour pink eyeshadow.
"We have a rivalry and that is why I said no," the rapper
admitted.
Mariah couldn't believe the rejection, and it sparked a row
between the pair.
"This is what I deal with, this is what I deal with when I come
into my job," she said.
The singer then tried to calm Nicki down as the feud threatened
to reach boiling point.
However Nicki, talking on The Ellen DeGeneres show, has recently
claimed the rivalry has ended since the auditions were filmed.
"We're fine," she said. "I cannot hold a grudge against Mariah
Carey. I don't know if she's gotten over it but I have."
