The Mariah Carey PR machine shows no signs of stopping in the wake of her American Idol clash with Nicki Minaj this week.
Armed with her husband Nick Cannon and their adorable twins Monroe and Moroccan, the premium diva took the air in a ride on the Santa Monica pier in California yesterday. The 42 year old and her troop then posed for pics that would melt even the hardest of hearts.
We’ve said it before and will continue to echo the same; never underestimate the know-how of an industry veteran like Mariah. She hasn’t sustained this long on the merit of her (incredible) voice alone. Calculated photo opps like this ensure she’s painted as the victim, while Nicki continues the ratchetness on Twitter. Viewed this way, who’s really “winning”?

I have to certainly agree with you Sam on this one Mimi has been in the game far too long, and has seen and been around many masters not to know how to play the game right.That the difference between new money Nicki still throwing shots on twitter and old money Mariah using her resources (her publicist) and spending time with her family and fans. As you said who’s winning, Oh yeah they’re both playing their roles Nicki: Bully Mimi: victim

Queen Mariah is doing what a queen is supposed to do: flying above the BS.
As for Onika… Dear Nicki Minadequate,
Please watch KidFury and Brian Bee318ti youtube videos about the mess you created. We’re all still rooting for you but you need THAT tea.

This is a family fun day,not PR But whatever,like she said,she would rather be doing this than fighting nicky minaj…Mariah will never be a has-been when 7 of her 13 albums have sold (not shipped) over 10 million copies worldwide,she earns $20Million yearly from royalties alone (see thats the benefit of recording timeless music in your prime)…her biggest flop memoirs (her 12th album) outsold PFRR (minaj 2nd album lol) by a whooping 700,000 copies,so she has the right to call nicki “inadequate” coz that’s the truth…Now nicki’s been reduced to Azealia Banks level spending hours on twitter doing what?definitely not selling records….

Sam is a little bitter still
Of course Mariah wins either way. It´s not her fault Nicki Minaj doesn´t know how to control herself and Mariah does
And no we weren´t there so we don´t know for sure. But here you have another testimony:
—————————————-
“I take it back: I thought all this stuff between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey on the American Idol audition tour was just hype, for publicity. In the past, Idol was all about fake feuds. But I am told with certainty by sources on the tour that it all happened, that Minaj threatened Carey quite seriously.
As The NY Post reports today, Mariah’s security was immediately beefed up. There was actually discussion with local police in Baton Rouge. Good grief! Since it is true, I wonder why Fox hasn’t fired Minaj? This is unacceptable behavior. Listen, Mariah Carey neither needs the money or the aggravation to put up with such antics. It’s up to Fox to protect her, I have an eyewitness who’s heard and seen the entire debacle.”

I was wondering, if this was an apparent uncut video of an argument, why did they have time to blur the swears out, and hwo on earth could they even tell what they were saying/ Its ridiculously staged.

Mariah’s only a 1/4th black so the kids are naturally not that dark. But Roc definitely has black hair.

NIcki Minaj is really Trash. Her Music is everything that is wrong with the music industry. Robotic autouned trash. Mariah Carey is above her. She’s a legend. Even though she’s older now she still has the ability to make great music. With real melodies and real singing.

Lol, she never takes time off being this dramatic diva. If she did get shot by Nicki, she’ll sing a different note when each bullet hits her, and as she falls to the ground she’ll be doing every twist and twirl from the Disney princess films. Oh Mariah, your just classic…dem babies are looking white tho, who dem real baby daddy?

I love Mariah (Early years) but we all know she likes to play the victim. Wasn’t she on VH1 complaining about how after Micheal died she was going next. And nick had to encourage her not to say those things Lol. I think it’s odd that the children aren’t a more caramel color. And Nikki better play it smart I would just sit back and make that money.

Why does everyone keep talking about the kids skin color? It’s called being “BI-RACIAL”… If you ever saw a picture of Mariah’s dad, you’ll see that he was VERY dark and her mother is VERY white and Mariah’s complexion is more white than black. GET OVER IT!!!! Just search “Alfred Roy Carey” <—Mariah's dad, and you'll see what I'm talking about.
