Mariah Carey Drops Fellow 'Idol' Judge Randy Jackson As Manager

Mariah and Randy

Filo: Randy Jackson, the judge who helped Mariah Carey join his ranks on "American Idol" is no longer the iconic singer's manager.

Jackson, who first met Carey in the 1990s as an A&R man for Columbia Records, helped broker her deal to join "Idol" for $18 million, but after a tumultuous season marred by disagreements, feuds and rumours, he may be saying goodbye to his fellow judge as well as his former client, Showbiz411 reported Wednesday.

In the meantime, Carey has signed with Red Light Management, the same outfit Steven Tyler has just joined.

Kiyo: Officially, Mariah Carey parted ways with her manager Randy Jackson, because their schedules were “too hectic.”

Our artists need to learn something here; there was no name calling, no bickering, and no social media battle. When it is time to leave, ejó just leave.
