For those wondering if Mariah Carey would ever come back as a judge on “American Idol,” the answer is a resounding “no.” In 2015, she appeared on the Australian show “Kyle and Jackie O” and was asked if she would return for the “American Idol” Season 15 finale. “Hell no! Absolutely not. That was the worst experience of my life. I’m not going to get into what it was, but let’s just say I don’t think they had any intentions for us to have a good experience doing that show. Pitting two females against each other wasn’t cool,” Carey stated. The “Fantasy” singer went on to say that the show “should have been about the contestants” but became about their “non-existent” feud. “I would never want to be involved with it again,” she declared.

Nicki Minaj previously spoke about her beef with Carey on “Ellen” in 2013 (via Grime Hype). She claimed that there was talk of Carey not wanting her as a judge, but she didn’t believe it at first. “And then I went there and I started feeling a little bit of the shade and I just kind of overcompensated by being crazier,” the “Super Bass” singer shared. However, she added that she was “fine” with Carey and they have since moved on.
