[Watch] Nicki Minaj Attacks Mariah Carey During American Idol Auditions


nicki mariah entertainment

OMG. I'd read about the supposed fight between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey during the American Idol Auditions but straightaway brushed it off as a publicity stunt. That was until I saw the footage.

If Nicki is acting here then get that girl an Oscar, because to me it looks like she is clearly annoyed and off on a rant. According to TMZ the argument got so out of hand that it ended with Ms Manaj telling Mariah, “I’m gonna knock you out”.

I'm hoping that this clip has been released totally out of context, because if it hasn't, Nicki Minaj is going to suffer from it going public. It totally contradicts the sweet and accessible image that has allowed her to cross over into the mainstream.

Even if reports about Mariah Carey not liking Nicki are true, I can't imagine she did anything to deserve that verbal lashing, This is a seasoned veteran who values her public image too much to risk being anything but super sweet, despite what she might actually feel inside. Besides, her calm demeanor during the verbal onslaught shows that Mariah was clearly in control, if noticeably baffled, by what was happening.

I'm still hoping thinking this is a publicity stunt- I mean, who would have leaked this but someone at Idol. Either that, or it's out of context and Nicki is speaking about someone else, perhaps a contestant. I'll wait for word from Nicki or Mariah before I pass judgement.

What do you guys think?




Update: Mariah Carey tells The View that she feels threatened by Nicki and has now hired more security!! Yikes.

  1. We all know how catty Mariah is towards other artists she deems her competition. And we all know how ghetto Nicki Minaj can get when she's taunted. I mean, what could go wrong?

  4. And this is why I love MC, she doesn't need to drop the f bombs or the c bombs to get a point across, Minaj has done herself no favours here. Least of all because her "singing/rapping" are a gazzillion miles below that of the talents of Mariah. Maybe thats whats got her so fired up, her insecurity about being around someone with a legacy she could only ever dream of being able to emulate....sad little woman! Go MC!!!

  5. Btw it really isn't clear to me what Minaj is saying exactly( aside from the obvious curse words) nor whom she is addressing. She certainly isn't speaking in Mariah's direction.

  6. Apparently Mariah was "reading off her resume" and Nicki wasn't too fond of that . Who really knows though.

  7. Nicki : Take it back, and if you've got a fucking problem handle it. I told them I'm not fucking putting up with your highness over there.
    Mariah : why, why, why Do I have a three year old sitting around me?
    Nicki : I’m not sitting here for 20 million having her look down here reprimanded everyday. No.
    Mariah : I can’t see my kids because you decided to act like a little crazy bitch and go all around the stage.”
    Nicki : Go see them now, go. You’re boring as fuck.


    Here's the dialogue for you Opie :)

  9. "the sweet and accessible image that has allowed her to cross over into the mainstream." Diva... lol. Are we living on the same planet? Nicki's image has just been of a Barbie, she's kind of known for having a attitude problem. You can see it in interview & everything. Minaj was tackless in this whole thing. Regardless of what was said, it's a business, & she could've got her point across in a sophisticated & classy way.

  10. Wow. lol. I mean Nicki's been known for her attitude problems but even if Mariah was "reading off her resume" it still isn't really an adequate reason to have gone off like that if there is one haha. I can understand that might be more boring but hey I mean Mariah is up there at the top of the pops. If anyone should be critiquing its Mariah with her many years of experience and considerable vocal knowledge both of Perfection and Artistic styles. I honestly don't even know why Nicki is on the show. I mean I know she is hitting the game real hard right now but she should be focusing more on her work than Idol...

  11. Oh My, i didn't catch all of that on listening. It seems like this outburst was for real. I don't think Mariah would be saying "bitch" just to help American Idol with its figures.

  12. Most people I know-in the Uk- who buy her singles don't know anything about Nicki. They just know the look and the big singles, "Superbass", "Pound The Alarm" and "Starships" that they've heard in the clubs.

  13. Here's a longer video that shows a bit more of the argument http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R25ypkQx7ac&feature=g-all-c

  14. See that's probably why. I'm from the US, where we actually know of her personality. So, when I read that I was like O_O. But that was in no way disrespect or demeaning to you, if it came off that way. I really don't want Nicki on that show, I feel like they just want her on there for ratings. They just need to have MiMi on there & get another veteran, or someone with some experience & can really sing. Heck Kelly Rowland ain't doing much musically over here, they should've got her, she did X-Factor UK & was in destiny's child for idk how long. She would've been a better option. Plus she can actually sing, live.

  15. I only saw her once, on a indeed British talkshow and she seemed okay to me.

  16. What a ridiculous fuss though. Seems to me yeah, Nicky's language is more salty but Mariah clearly is no stranger to being bitchy either. Just because her language is slightly cleaner doesn't make her remarks less bitchy.
    And personally I don't see why anybody who has a record career should go be on a show like that anyway. Just get a couple of vocal teachers and focus on the candidates already. If you MUST make such a show.

  17. It doesn't always show up, but it's there. Go to YouTube & search Nicki Minaj breakfast club interview. It should have a still of her in a green wig. & watch the interview, look @ the beginning on how she acted towards the one woman interviewer.

  18. Are you referring to that roll of the eyes?

    ReplyDelete
  19. i told you it's true. Mariah is so lovely but like nicki is so unprofessional
    so disappointed to idol for putting her up. i mean we could just have Keith, Mariah, and Randy! but why why put a ghetto there?

  21. I remember the post DD did here about what the diva's thought of eachother and its true, Mariah is very subtle with her shading, which for a lot of people can be like adding petrol to a fire.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm talking about Nicki Minaj, not Mariah. lol. & yes I'm talking about her rolling her eyes & her whole demeanor in general.

    ReplyDelete
  23. LOL As an expert at that , I know what I am talking about. You don't need to use foul language in order to really get to someone. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I KNOW dude. It's clear you feel sides need to be taken and you are firmly on "sweet" Mariah's. I am just saying I see nothing in Minaj to make me dislike her ( nor in Mariah btw).
    As I see it, those two clearly are different characters with consequently different tactics of being bitchy.( and Mariah WAS being as bitchy as Minaj there imo)
    Probably so different they'll never be friends but being in a position to work together, they ended up in a little spat. I see no good girl/bad girl here. No victor and no victim.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I can assure you, now way could you possibly dislike Rihanna more than I do. We will have to rule that turf together. :)

  26. Are you ok? Like really. I'm not even a fan of Mariah, & who did I say anything about taking sides. The point of the matter I was making is, that Nicki Minaj has been showed to have an attitude problem before. There was no reason for her to act the way she did in the video, regardless of what Mariah said. She could've handled that in a more mature manner. She's even ranting & being immature about it on Twitter. That's it. Not gonna keep replying to you because you're being your own scenario in your head & you're implying stuff that I'm not even getting at. That's all, the end.

    ReplyDelete
  27. LOL "being my own scenario in my head"? I don't think you know what you are typing yourself. Or , so it seems, what scenario is running in your head. Allow me to fill you in on that.

    Going just by yOUR words, you clearly think Mariah is "sweet" and Minaj has "attitude problems", is "immature","tackless"( no idea whether you mean tactless or tacky but neither is a positive endorsement)) you don't like "her demeanor in general" and accused her of being unsophisticated and not classy, said I really don't want Nicki on that show" , implied she cant sing. Did I miss anything you called Minaj in this thread?
    Mariah you call MIMI ( but you are not a fan?) and you DO want to see on that show and you strongly imply DID behave well here.
    These are YOUR interpretations of these two women and they clearly show your sympathy and antipathy.

    My view is that these two women were both being bitchy to each other but have different styles.

    I have no idea what "stuff" you think I am implying you not getting at but then again, I don't think you have any idea either. You seem quite clueless as to what your comments are saying
    A wise decision to discontinue posting them. :).

  28. I missed this place, i've been in trouble and could not manage to get a good look in the page. Glad to be back. Anyway, I don't have much to say, All this thing about the two divas was funny and also a little unneeded.

  32. American idol made a huge mistake in hiring Nicki Minaj she's only been in music for less than 5 yrs. There are many legendary artist like Rkelly, bon jovi, faith hill etc. The need for ratings will ruin the show.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Nicki Minaj really needs to grow up. Mariah handled this situation well, and I respect her for keeping cool while that crazy bitch was talking shit to her. Mariah is a music legend, whereas as Nicki is a mentally unstable, auto-tuned whore.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Mariah isn't catty :L she sometimes shades artists that are bitchy to her, or who are acting like fools, but she isn't nasty or anything.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Mariah is an extremely accomplished artist, and so she has a lot of experience to bring to the show. As for her being bitchy, she ain't any more bitchy than any other artist, and from what i've seen, she handled that situation very well, and with class, which is more than most people would do in that situation. Frankly, if Nicki was mouthing off to me, i'd tell her to shut the fuck up and stop being a crazy ass bitch.

    ReplyDelete
  36. LOL Point is not whether she is more or less bitchy than any other artist. Point is she was being bitchy here. Just like Minaj was. She only used different language.
