AWKWARD! Mariah Carey Drops Randy Jackson as Manager Amid American Idol Drama

2012 BET Awards Roaming Inside And Backstage

Things are getting more and more awkward on the set of American Idol by the minute. First, reports came out this morning that judges Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban are all being replaced next season. Now, rumor has it that Mariah is dropping Randy as her manager…and they’ve still got three more live episodes seated next to each other!

While one source says Mariah and Randy are parting ways because of a falling out, another says there is no bad blood between the pair, they simply will not be working together as a Manager-Client duo anymore.

Mariah will now be managed by Red Light Management, after years under the guidance of Randy, who she started working under in the late 90’s.

Meanwhile, Idol is down to its top three and one is going home tonight — who is your fave out of Candice Glover, Kree Harrison and Angie Miller?
