   President Obama thinks Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey can sort out 'Idol' feud   
   By Courtney Hazlett, TODAY   
      
      
   Nicki Minaj, left, and Mariah Carey.   
      
   The President of the United States has weighed in on the greatest feud    
   of our time. And by that we mean yes, Barack Obama has commented on the    
   on-set tensions between "American Idol" hosts Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.   
      
   If you recall, during a recent taping of the show Minaj unleashed a slew    
   of not-safe-for-primetime words at Carey; Carey later countered with    
   claims that Minaj threatened to "shoot" her (a claim Minaj has denied).   
      
   Naturally, a feud of such magnitude was top of mind when the president    
   called in to radio host Michael Yo's "The Yo Show," and in a display of    
   diplomacy we've come to know well from Obama, the president does not    
   take a clear side on the feud, but he's optimistic everything will be OK    
   in the end.   
      
   "Can you repair the relationship with Mariah Carey and Nikki Minaj on    
   'American Idol'?" Yo asked.   
      
   "I think that they are going to be able to sort it out, I am confident,"    
   the president reassured. "I'm all about bringing people together,    
   working for the same cause, I think both outstanding artists are going    
   to be able to make sure that they're moving forward and not going    
   backwards."   
      
   Not letting the president get off too easily, Yo asked Obama the    
   hard-hitting question about whether he has a favorite between the two.    
   "Mariah, she's actually done some events for us. I've gotten to know her    
   and Nick (Cannon), she's a wonderful lady. Nicki I don't know, but I've    
   got her on my iPod."
