Nicki & Mariah Still Feuding, MC Gives Barbara Walters Exclusive Interview

These two remind me of ‘Toddlers & Tiaras’ – two divas who want to outshine each other and do it so dramatically. While Nicki is known for throwing tantrums, Mariah is queen of throwing subtle shade, you know, in that I’m above the drama passive-aggressive way. Just stop it! You both look silly.

While their feud, stemming from last summer, have subsided a bit it’s clear these two women do not like each other.

During an interview with Barbara Walters, which leaked online, Carey (kind of) resurrected the beef all over again. The interview was actually done not long after their big blow-out caught on video where Minaj is heard spewing profanity and insinuating Carey threw a few jabs her way over the summer. Although it wasn’t actually heard on camera Carey says Minaj threatened to shoot her. According to reports Nicki blurted out, “If I had a gun, I would shoot that f—ing bitch”.

When asked about the fight with Mariah admits she felt her safety was in jeopardy. “It felt like an unsafe work environment,” she told Walters. _______READMORE

She tells THR, “I had a lot of talks with people — my family, my best friends, my label, Lil Wayne, management and then the producers,” she says. In the end, it was Darnell (one of the idol producers) who helped sway her. Adds the 30-year-old: “He was so lovable and made me feel so comfortable and confident. He kept saying, ‘I promise we’re going to protect you; you’re going to love it, we’re a big family.’ ”

By: Vera Oduro (www.dalewillet.com)

Who has a diva, like Mariah Carey, considering leaving ‘American Idol’? None other than thee “black barbie” Nicki Minaj!

According to NYC Gossip Girl, Mariah is ready to leave American Idol due to the threats she’s received from Nicki nearly two weeks ago in North Carolina. There is a clause in Mariah’s contract that allows her to leave the show if she felt her life was in danger.

TMZ was able to get a hold of the captured footage of Nicki and Mariah butting heads during the North Carolina audition. As a result, shooting had been cancelled for the remainder of the day while the ladies cooled off. Nicki was overheard saying, “Every time you take a shot at me, I am going to take it right back!”

Nicki Minaj & Mariah Carey Fight During ‘American Idol’ Auditions (Video)

It seems like the we are one big happy family bit didn’t last for too long. Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are already fighting and the ‘American Idol’ auditions haven’t aired yet!
