      Mariah does not sound like she use to, trust she can no longer hit those vision of love or Minnie Riperton notes, She is an older woman who is insecure about the younger 30 year-old.
      Why did she sign up for the show she waited until she got in her forties to have kids, shouldn’t she be at home with them, instead of being greedy, she’s worth like 500 million, I would be at home with my IVF babies if I was that old and washed up.

    Go on YouTube and Type In: “Lil Kim ft Nicki Minaj Playtime is Over”

    You’ll see the type of person Nicki really is. She is very contradicting and has no respect for people who paved the way for her. I’m telling yall its a 5 part video and Nicki gets exposed for who she really is.

    Some people didn’t even no who Nicki was until they saw her in the Up out my Face video with Mariah Carey. Even P!nk said this.

      I had never heard of her until then, and I had originally only watched it for Mariah. I would mute Nicki’s parts because I couldn’t stand how nasal she sounds.

    -_- Those tweets are corny and embarrassing. I understand the need to defend yourself, but talking like that past the age of 16 is unacceptable. There’s a way to gracefully shut people completely down without making yourself look like incompetent in the process(i.e. though a fictitous character think Claire Huxtable from The Cosby Show). It would behoove Niki to learn.

    Nicki Minaj better watch herself, or she will be out of a job. Mariah Carey has been in the game for a long time, and is very accomplished. Nicki Minaj is a popcorn rapper, who think she really is Barbie, and her career can be over in a matter of a second.

    I can’t believe it has come down to twitter beefs. Yes, it’s immature for both parties to be draggin’ on this stupid ass fiasco, but seriously though–Twitter? That’s the battleground Nicki decided to choose? Lol. At least Mariah ain’t afraid to back herself up on TV instead of hiding behind a smart phone. And not only did she go on television, she went on television with class. She wasn’t on “ratchet girl anthem” mode like Nicki. Therefore, Nicki: KEEP CALM, and GO the CLASSY ROUTE instead of stooping below the rock to come up with these bafoonery tweets. THE DEFENSE RESTS.

      Hello! Mariah could have DROPPED it and not spoke to Barbara old ass Walters. It would have been DEAD! That’ why Niki went to twitter. So what! The video was leaked.. I would careless what someone would have thought. Mariah was embarrassed and wanted to get BACK at Nicki..

      I think that both of them should have just kept their mouth shut because it makes both of them look stupid. Many people are praising Mariah, but she’s also at fault. It’s just that because she’s more “calm” people think she’s handling it better. I love Mariah Carey and her previous music, but I guess it’s true she’s a diva. She’s mad because she wanted to be like her arch enemy JLO and have all the publicity to herself. I actually blame American Idol now thinking about it. They now use the show to reconstruct washed up singer’s careers instead of focusing on the contestants. How unfair was it that every time JLO had a new song or magazine cover, she would perform or have the magazine cover showed on the big screen. Mariah was expecting to gain all the attention and AI decided to bring another female on the show, so that made Nicki gain exposure as well. Yes Mariah is getting 18 million and Nicki is getting 8 million, but it’s more about the SUCCESS WITH NEW MUSIC AND EXPOSURE THAN THE MONEY.

    Bologna. Mariah wouldn’t sacrifice her safety when she could be at home with Nick and the twins. I’m not buying the act between these two.

    Nicki needs to act a bit better than this. She needs to leave the hood rat ish at the door!! Ofcourse Mariah talked about the incident it is all over the place, it is free advertisement for the show and she gets to say her side of the story. As a professional you cant go flying off the handle everytime someone says something that you do not agree with. I was so against her getting the job as a judge of talent, because I do not feel like she has any. All she is doing is proving people like me right that she is not ready and does not belong there. Diddy was my pick, I think they need to give him a call and have him on standby.

    Honestly I could careless about the beef and I like Nicki and all but when it comes down to facts, the truth of the matter is she shouldn’t even be a judge on The show…I know some are going to defend whom ever their a fan of the most, but come on real sh*t y’all know she shouldn’t even be judging. Tell me if I’m wrong?

    No matter who’s “fault” this is, it’s sad and embarrassing to see Nicki’s reactions all over the media. We need to stop putting violent/confrontational people on these huge shows. If this whole thing is “real”, this behavior shouldn’t be tolerated, and somebody on the show should be replaced.

    This is what happens when you put two strong women of color in the same room. There can only be one queen in the hive. Ms. Glitter didn’t just become a diva… Her spat with Eminem (another diva) lasted several years. And, that beef between Nikki and Lil Kim was right out of the “Middle East” Some Real Gaza Strip $#it! So, Nick and Mariah can drop the “she’s so classy” speech. Everyone knows that Mariah can set it off! This duel was bound to happen like Mayweather vs Pacquiao. The show’s producers know what their doing. Long before Nikki signed her deal with Idol, Mariah was trying to be “diva blockin”, saying she wanted to be the only female judge on the show. How she gonna stop Nikki from making millions of dollars for sitting on her big butt and doing nothing? I don’t like her gun talk, but they all know that “shock statements” push the ratings up, so get over it. Hiring additional security like Tupac and Biggie!

      It’s no more pathetic than Simon and Paula fighting. Mariah was trying to mess with Nikki’s money and Nikki’s just lettin her know, to “back off” when her name comes up in the board room. Nikki probably couldn’t wait to tell her off! Millions of dollars were at stake for Nikki. No back-up dancers, no band, no crew, no equipment, no sound checks, no rehersals…just Nikki sitting on her big phat arse drinking Coke and making paper…knowing all the time that Mariah tried to block it. You would probably be fighting too!

      I dont think Mariah would care about Nicki’s 8-10 million when shes making 18 million per season, lol… yea… I really dont think so!

      @Mia

      I didn’t say she cared. I said she was “blocking”! You know, she didn’t want to work with Nikki, so get someone else. Not because of the money, but because of the spotlight. And clearly, they are fighting over the shine! When Mariah heard that they were trying to get Nikki, she pressed to be the only female judge. Hence, Nikki had an offer on the table that Mariah wanted to terminate. Were you aware of the history behind their selection?

    NICKI PYSCHOMINAJ OR WHATEVER IT IS HAS OVER STEPPED HER BOUNDARIES NOW. SHE IS FAR FROM MARIAH LEVEL AND SHOULD BE HAPPY AND HUMBLE TO BE IN HER PRESENCE ON A SHOW LIKE THAT. THE WAY SHE WAS RANTING ON THAT VIDEO WAS STRAIGHT GHETTO HOOD TRASH. I’M SO SICK OF THIS CHICK IS RIDICULOUS. SHE IS NOT A GOOD RAPPER, SHE IS NOT A GOOD PERFORMER. THE ONLY REASON SHE MADE IT THIS FAR WAS BECAUSE OF HER CRAZY LOOKS. WTF IS SHE DOING ON AMERICAN IDOL ANYWAY..THIS RAT IS NOT EVEN A SINGER. THAT COSTUME FREAK NEEDS TO RETIRE. DONT EVER COME FOR MARIAH. YEA SHE A DIVA BUT MARIAH HAS EARNED HER RESPECT AND TITLE. STAY IN YOUR LANE MINAJ.

    Michael Jordan has earned his respect and title too, but he don’t go around discusing Lebron James’s business in the Nike board room. If Nikki can’t say how she feels, then your right, she shouldn’t be in Mariah’s presence. Mariah has been know to do some straight ghetto hood trash talking too. Randy Jackson isn’t a singer either, so why is he on the show? AI is not all about singing… If so, others wouldn’t be there. Don’t forget Ellen DeGeneret and Simon can’t sing. Nikki is not the most talented, but she is gifted or blessed. Whether you want to admit it or not. Just like Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose are gifted. Take Mariah down off of that pedestal. She will thank you and think twice about taking Nikki on just because she got there first like lil Kim.

    Does anyone believe this is anything more scripted “reality” to try and give a life line to a show that is dead and stinking? Bury it already.

    I’m still trying to figure out what in the world happened? I find it funny how people are saying that Nicki needs to be a professional when there are many unprofessional people in the entertainment business. Are people forgetting when Christina Aguilera was rude to her contestants and embarrassed them onstage and backstage on “The Voice?” Kanye West is always unprofessional, so is 50 cent, and Diddy… how many celebrities tweet personal business and juvenile rubbish? How come people are calling her tweets ghetto, but not Rihanna’s? I think that many people are treating Nicki unfairly just because “they don’t like her.” I agree that the situation is stupid and Nicki should have handled it much better, but it’s not right to just go after her, but not the other celebrities.

    MESS

    How are you going to critique one of the top voices in history? I heard that Minaj disagreed with Mariah’s critique of a contestant and began to comment on Mariah’s critique. Mariah had to then turn around and remind Minaj what her credentials are, therefore making Minaj inadequate to even give a counter. Minaj fell into Mariah’s swipe and blew her top. This is Nicki’s problem, she gives mixed messages. How do you dress like a clown, act like a clown, and not expect to be played like a clown? She lucky Mariah’s security didn’t pull a Fantasy Remix and tie her ass up to a pole. Stop trying to get too big for ya bras when you are still wearing diapers. I’m sure the contestants didn’t know the golden ticket they got was to the circus.

      ^This, all day and every day. And the word “clown” could easily be substituted.

    Kills me how people are coming at Nicki like this. When they know if they was in Nicki place they would have told Mariah how they felt as well. Yes Mariah is a legend but nobody deserves to be disrespected . If that was Beyonce instead of Nicki yall would of course have Beyonce back. Im just saying

    I believe they both are in the wrong. Nicki has the right to respond to Mariah if she was being disrespected. Regardless of how many albums Nicki has sold compared to Mariah or how talented she is in comparison to Mariah she still was selected to be on the panel. However responding in the manner that she did was uncalled for and it makes her look childish,ignorant, and perpetuates a negative stereotype.
