Obama Weighs In on Nicki Minaj / Mariah Carey Feud

“I think they are going to be able to sort it out, I am confident,” he said. “I am 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.”

He went on to say that Mariah Carey is his favorite, “a wonderful lady” who has “done some events for us,” and that he has some of Minaj’s music on his iPod.

President Obama did eventually talk about national affairs during the duration of the “Yo Show.”
