Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj Beef: Singer Tells Barbara Walters She Hired Extra Security, Rapper Disses Carey Via Twitter (VIDEOS)
Ladies, can't we all just get along?
Mariah Carey decided to blab all about her feud with fellow "American Idol" judge Nick Minaj to Barbara Walters.
According to "The View" co-host, Carey felt threatened because "Nicki walked off the set and multiple people heard Nicki say, 'If I had a gun I would shoot the bitch.' "
Since Carey felt her safety was at risk, she told Walters she hired extra security and is now at home with her twins Moroccan and Monroe.
After the "American Idol" judges had a meeting on Oct. 3, Carey told Walters that Minaj approached her and said, "I love you, but we might fight again," by which Carey responded, "No, we won't."
Carey said, "I don't feel comfortable emotionally, but I love the show and mentoring contestants."
Keith Urban, a fellow judge, also chimmed in, saying he "just wants things to be normal," according to Walters.
Minaj took to Twitter to tell her side of the story and to bash Carey as well as her fighting tactics.
Here are some of Minaj's tweets in response:
"The struggle to be a victim is real in these streets. Lmaooooooooooo. The struggle to not have the kid on the show is real in these streets. 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.
"Ironically no camera or mic heard the gun comment tho. Lol @ the struggle. Not even the producers believed u. Say no to violence barbz. 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!!!! LmAooooooooooo. 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.
"Cuz i never said it!!!! RT @ItsMarthaBitch: I never heard 'ima knock you out' come out of Nickis mouth in that footage. 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. Tried to keep quiet but let's go!!!!"
Finally, Minaj wrote, "I thought we resolved it yesterday but I see u want ur pity party to continue. 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..."
