Mariah Walking Away From American Idol,

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. Minaj, 30, allegedly threatened 42-year-old singer Mariah Carey during recent auditions in Charlotte, NC.

Many believe that “American Idol” producers signed the loud-mouthed rapper and the arrogant singer to boost the show’s sagging ratings.

Reportedly, FOX can sue Minaj if Mariah quits the show due to threats made, public or private.
