President Obama thinks Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey can sort out 'Idol' feud
By Courtney Hazlett, TODAY


Nicki Minaj, left, and Mariah Carey.

The President of the United States has weighed in on the greatest feud 
of our time. And by that we mean yes, Barack Obama has commented on the 
on-set tensions between "American Idol" hosts Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.

If you recall, during a recent taping of the show Minaj unleashed a slew 
of not-safe-for-primetime words at Carey; Carey later countered with 
claims that Minaj threatened to "shoot" her (a claim Minaj has denied).

Naturally, a feud of such magnitude was top of mind when the president 
called in to radio host Michael Yo's "The Yo Show," and in a display of 
diplomacy we've come to know well from Obama, the president does not 
take a clear side on the feud, but he's optimistic everything will be OK 
in the end.

"Can you repair the relationship with Mariah Carey and Nikki Minaj on 
'American Idol'?" Yo asked.

"I think that they are going to be able to sort it out, I am confident," 
the president reassured. "I'm all about bringing people together, 
working for the same cause, I think both outstanding artists are going 
to be able to make sure that they're moving forward and not going 
backwards."

Not letting the president get off too easily, Yo asked Obama the 
hard-hitting question about whether he has a favorite between the two. 
"Mariah, she's actually done some events for us. I've gotten to know her 
and Nick (Cannon), she's a wonderful lady. Nicki I don't know, but I've 
got her on my iPod."
