America’s Got Talent is possibly looking to replace former Spice Girls, Mel B, with a legend in the hip-hop community.
Reports state that America’s Got Talent is looking to replace Mel B with rapper and actress Queen Latifah.
Production sources told TMZ that Mel has “been butting heads with people on set and producers think she comes with too much ‘baggage’ for the amount of money” she’s getting paid, the site writes.
In October 2017, it was reported that Mel had asked for a $400,000 pay raise for her work on the show, which would have upped her total salary to $2.2 million a season.
Mel B has continuously made headlines throughout season, whether it’s dealing with her divorce or throwing water at Simon Cowell. There is of course tension on camera and even more behind the scenes.
If she does leave, she might not be out of work for long: She could be headed for another Spice Girls reunion, if recent reports about the pop group getting back together are to be believed.
The ladies fueled speculation when, on Feb. 2, all five Spice Girls — Mel C, 44, Victoria Beckham, 43, Emma Bunton, 42, Geri Halliwell, 45, and Mel B — appeared in a photo that Posh Spice posted on Instagram. Another pic she shared shows that the girl group’s manager, Simon Fuller, 54, was also with them that day.
