Mariah Carey uploads set of photos of daughter Monroe doing her make-up

It looks like Mariah Carey may be grooming her daughter Monroe for a possible career as her make-up artist given this cute Instagram photo.

Mariah Carey, 42, uploaded an adorable set of photos of her 20-month-old daughter Monroe applying powder to her famous mother’s face.

The singer wrote: “Beauty school hour 01 lol.”

Missing out on the make-up lesson was Monroe’s twin brother Moroccan.

Meanwhile, Mariah Carey has been speaking about her infamous argument with fellow American Idol judge Nicki Minaj last year.

She said: “Anytime somebody’s reeling threats at somebody, you know, it’s not appropriate.

“I’ve got two babies… I’m not going to take any chances.

“I did hire more security. I felt it was the appropriate thing to do.”

Mariah Carey’s attempts to call their feud “one-sided” didn’t go down well with Nicki Minaj at the Television Critics Association panel of American Idol in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The rapper hit back: “No, it wasn’t!. See? They don’t want a rising star, they want drama.”

The talent show’s producers denied that the feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj is a publicity stunt.

Nigel Lythgoe, the show’s executive producer, said: “Whatever feuds there have been – and this isn’t just between Nicki and Mariah but Keith [Urban] and Randy [Jackson] as well – are genuine.

“Whenever you’re in this sort of passionate situation, these things happen.”
