Nicki Minaj Denies Mariah Carey Gun Threats, Calls Singer 'Shady McGrady'

The saga continues in the war between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey. After video surfaced Tuesday (Oct. 2) of the entertainers arguing at the judges table during a taping of an "American Idol" audition, Carey now insists Minaj threatened to shoot her. The rap star took to Twitter to deny the claim and let loose on her accuser.

Earlier today, Barbara Walters reported on "The View" that she spoke with Carey about the heated incident. The talk show host said the "Honey" songstress was "concerned" because "multiple people heard Nicki say, 'If I had a gun I would shoot the bitch,'" after she walked off the "American Idol" set.

The Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded creator gave her side of the story through a series of Twitter posts. According to Minaj, Carey is lying.









Carey says she's received no apology from the Young Money MC regarding the highly publicized argument. As a result of the "threats," the singer has reportedly beefed up her security detail. Her publicist issued a statement to Barbara Walters, promising that she would still take part in her role as an "American Idol" judge.

"For the record, Mariah's doing well," the statement reads. "She obviously still has serious concerns, but is hopeful that everyone will act in an appropriate, professional manner. She plans to move forward and she believes this season will be the best ever."

I am with lisa but we must remember that not one of us is better than anyother! I heard a person say Nicki is out of her league and Mirah C. is not any better than you or I. Things happen, right is right and wrong is wrong...simple as that. I do think M.C. is going a bit to far with guards and it seems a bit drastic to say the least. Someone once said there is nothing to fear except fear it's self. It's a circus sometimes, lol. They should be ashamed especially M.C. for according to the news she is a better and more important diva than Nicki...they should kiss and make up not one is better than another, ever! God loves all of us equally and we are to show the World by example.
I know I am no good, but I am happy and walk with laughter daily baring my cross as gracefully as possiable. We all sin, "they who say they have no sin is a liar and the truth is not in them." Holy Bible

no wonder why its going to be Randy Jacksons last year on the show...Poor Keith Urban, I am not saying Miriah is Innocent but Nicki is Trash, they should just fire her butt mid way through dont need her and let Randy step in full-time maybe one of the only ways they can save the show....Nicki is judging talent?? how is that possible when she has no talent, now she is officially judging it, i dont think she would make first round cuts on American Idol....

well-don't know about the rest of you who watch this bs show-haven't seen it in yrs-because it got so tacky and about the panel of judges...not the kids singing and now simon has his X F trying to take it up a notch but still keeping the drama for viewers-again reality staged bs...no award noms...Now if you want a classier version-try The Voice...great vocals trying out and screened, a little drama with try outs but not the judges-they seem serious , intererested in the vocals and are pros not needing attention -their careers are still going strong and got an emmy nod...After watching the voice and then giving X a chance-I couldn't beleive the difference in the quality of talent in the voice-no turning back-everything else is Kardashian style (which I boycot as well)...enough with the bs

The ratings of the show are so low and nobody wants either one on the show, the
producers had to make this up hoping to boost ratings.
Won't be able to count my tv as tuned in.
