Nicki Minaj has recently claimed the rivalry has ended since the auditions were filmed.
Highlights
- Mariah Carey slammed Nicki Minaj after her fellow American Idol judge rejected a contestant for wearing the same colour eye shadow.
- 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 eye shadow as the star.
- 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 of the quartet 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 the Chicago leg of the show's auditions, Nicki, 30, revealed the real reason for her snub - they were wearing the same colour pink eye shadow.
- She admitted: "We have a rivalry and that is why I said no."
- Mariah couldn't believe the rejection, and it sparked a row between the pair.
- She commented: "This is what I deal with, this is what I deal with when I come into my job."
- The singer then tried to calm Nicki down as the feud threatened to reach a boiling point.
- However Nicki, talking on The Ellen DeGeneres show, has recently claimed the rivalry has ended since the auditions were filmed.
- She said: "We're fine. I cannot hold a grudge against Mariah Carey ... I don't know if she's gotten over it but I have."
