her American Idol co-star allegedly called her a 'b***h'.
The show producers were forced to stop filming and cancel Charlotte,
North Carolina on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 after Minaj allegedly
threatened and swore at Mariah Carey. Witnesses however insist that it
was the 'Heartbreaker' singer Carey that started it all, according to
reports.
'Nicki Minaj walked off of set because Mariah Carey kep making jabs at
her. Nicki's manager and team convinced her to come back to the show.
Mariah kept at it and called Nicki a b**** and then proceeded to cuss
her out. Producers had to stop filming and call it a night', a source
told Mouthtoears.com.
Reports say producers are now quite worried about how the pair will
manage to work together for the rest of the season. 'Mariah wants a
panel of bright, inspirational and constructive judges. Not some freak
show! Mariah thinks Nicki will just be a distraction and it will all
be about her and her outrageous behaviour. Mariah will not be happy if
Nicki joins the panel and
she has let the producers know just how she feels', a source
previously told Hollywoodlife.
The whole drama began back in New York in September 2012 when Nicki
was critiquing a contestant, but 'Mariah kept butting rudely'. Other
judges include long standing Randy Jackson and New Zealand-Australian
country music singer Keith Urban with Ryan Seacrest as host.
Interestingly, it is not the first time both superstars' paths are
crossing. Mariah, 42 and Minaj, 29 in 2010 collaborated on the remix
of the former's song 'Up out my face'.
