American Idol Wars: Mariah Carey Beefs Up Security After Nicki Minaj Fight
Posted by Mikey Fresh under beef , videos[13] Comments
It’s hard to say what will become of Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey’s ongoing feud. Both sides seem to be trying their best to put the issues to bed, but when two personalities as big as these are involved it’s never a cakewalk. Will someone leave the show? Is Nicki going to apologize? When will they officially makeup? Yes, guys, we’re thinking about the same things, too.
Earlier today, Barbra Walters stated that she talked to Mariah on the phone about the ordeal. Though they didn’t air any interview audio or footage, Barbra says she took notes and gave her own interpretation of their chat.
Barber Walters: “I’m quoting [Mariah] now ‘Nicki is unpredictable.’ And Mariah says she can’t take a chance, and she has hired extra security. Nicki has not apologized.
Afterwards, Nicki tweeted: “All I do is compliment u. That’s not enuff? Ur a legend, cheer up. U don’t have to run down ur resume or feel intimidated. Shady McGrady…”
Read the rest of what Mariah told Barbra Walters and Nicki’s Tweet-responses after the jump…
Earlier today, Barbra Walters said on The View: When Nicki walked off the set, multiple people heard her say, if I had a gun, I’d shoot that — b*tch. She says staff members heard, hairdressers, producers and other people. She said she’s very concerned, she’s with her twins, she doesn’t feel that anything would happen but, I’m quoting now, ‘Nicki is unpredictable.’ And Mariah says she can’t take a chance, and she has hired extra security. Nicki has not apologized but they have since been together in meetings…after the meeting, Nicki said to Mariah ‘I love you but we might fight again.’ Mariah responded, no we will not. At this point, Mariah says she doesn’t feel comfortable emotionally but she will continue to do the show because she loves the show and she loves mentoring the contestants.’
Nicki Minaj then responded on Twitter with a serious of subliminal messages
@NickiMinaj: All I do is compliment u. That’s not enuff? Ur a legend, cheer up. U don’t have to run down ur resume or feel intimidated. Shady McGrady…
I thought we resolved it yesterday but I see u want ur pity party to continue.
Tried to keep quiet but let’s go!!!!
I guess it hurts 2 have the producers tell u to ur face that nicki is the best judge we’ve had since simon. Awww, poor u. Keep them lies cmn
I don’t call tmz n Barbara Walters cuz I stand on my own two feet. Never needed an army. God is good. Insecurity is as cruel as the grave.
Barbara walters didn’t reach out from our team barbz. I guess we’re too dangerous. Don’t shake if u don’t wannA get shook!!!!
Ironically no camera or mic heard the gun comment tho. Lol @ the struggle. Not even the producers believed u. Say no to violence barbz. 😜
Hey yAll. Lets just say nicki said smthn about a gun. ppl will believe it cuz she’s a black rapper. Lmao. I’ll then hit up Barbara n milk it
The struggle to not have the kid on the show is real in these streets. Lmaooooooooo
Who do you think is really responsible for this mess?

Nicki Minag is a disease of a human being.Far from a legend or an Icon. Her whole persona is sickening like the plague killing off any stride the woman’s movement had. Her shit is so toxic if they ever re-instated slavery it would be hard to argue cause that’s how far she’s set black back.

I smell a hater. This is the best thing to happen to mariah. Her time has come and gone. Shes not the topic of conversion and she can’t stand it. She better fall back or Nicki will destroy that legend status.

I love that we’re suddenly pretending that Mariah Carey isn’t a drama queen. Nor has she been legitimate since Rainbow.
