Mariah Carey ‘Deletes’ Nicki Minaj From Her Life

Mariah Carey claims she has ‘deleted’ Nicki Minaj from her life.The singer, 44, and the rapper, 31, did not see eye to eye when they co-judged on American Idol last year and are now battling once more by releasing singles and music videos at the same time.

“I was a professional on that show, and that’s all I have to say. I was a complete professional,” the five-time Grammy award winner told Power 105.1′s Breakfast Club radio show of her time on Idol.

However when one caller mentioned Minaj, she asked, “Who?”

“I don’t even remember what that was. That was a moment in my life that I’m just going to press delete,” she said of her experience of fighting backstage with Minaj.

Mariah this week delighted fans with the release of a brand new single titled You’re Mine (Eternal), out in time for Valentine’s Day. Meanwhile Minaj has unleashed her own brand new tune – controversially titled Lookin Ass N****.

Carey will release The Art Of Letting Go, her fourteenth studio album, on May 6 and Minaj will release her third, The Pink Print, later this year.
