Nicki Minaj is alleged to have threatened to shoot Mariah Carey during a vicious altercation on the American Idol panel. The pair, who are both new additions to the hit talent show's judging panel, came to blows while filming in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday. A production source tells TMZ that Nicki, 29, said: 'If I had a gun, I would shoot her.'
The comment was not captured on video that has surfaced of the two feuding and is thought to have been said outside of the 42-year-old's earshot.
Minaj’s camp did not respond to requests for comment after Walters aired Carey’s grievances, but she did fire back on Twitter Thursday.She added, “I don’t call tmz n Barbara Walters cuz I stand on my own two feet,” she added, referring to a gossip website. “Never needed an army. God is good. Insecurity is as cruel as the grave.”
Later, she ramped up her online assault on Carey. “I guess it hurts 2 have the producers tell u to ur face that nicki is the best judge we’ve had since simon,” Minaj added. “Awww, poor u. Keep them lies cmn.”
