Los Angeles: Singer-songwriter Mariah Carey reportedly wants to quit the ongoing season of the reality music show 'American Idol' because of her feud with singer Nicki Minaj.
"Mariah doesn't want to come back. Nicki is really disrespecting her, and she's tired of trying to bite her tongue all the time," contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying.
"One night Nicki tried to be kind of nice, but Mariah didn't bite, so I guess she figured 'screw that.' She's done with it all. She doesn't need the platform, and all the drama isn't healthy for her. She's also under fire with the producers for not being critical enough of the contestants," the source said.
Carey, Minaj and singer Keith Urban are the judges on 'American Idol' - season 12. ...
