Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey have begun clashing at "American Idol" auditions. In a new TMZ video from the Charlotte, NC auditions, Minaj erupts at Carey in a tirade of curse words.
-
According to TMZ, Minaj threatened to "knock out" Carey before the video started rolling. In the clip below, Randy tries to quell the blow up, but TMZ reports producers ended the auditions that day to let the judges collect themselves.
-
"I told them, I'm not f---in' putting up with her f---ing highness over there," Minaj says. "Figure it the f--- out. Figure it out."
-
But the leaked video has many questioning if it's all a set-up by producers to get viewers to tune in when the show returns in January.
-
The only person talking about it so far is Ryan Seacrest, who hinted at the brou-haha in a tweet: "Going to bed in Charlotte after an anything but dull day at #idol auditions."

Yesterday, it was announced that Nicki Minaj would be a judge on American Idol with Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson and Keith Urban. The first round of auditions took place yesterday in New York City and Minaj showed up rocking her typical zany fit! You know her Shorts, tights and a sick shoe combo! I'm looking forward to her being a judge on idol, being that she is such a character and that mouth is out of control at times..lol!! The auditions will premiere on TV in January 2013. Be sure to tune in!

Carey says she wrote TRIUMPHANT when she was going through a difficult time & it helped her get through it. Word on the street is that the track was written and produced by Carey, as well as Jermaine Dupri and Brian Michael Cox, who also worked on the singer's hits “Shake It Off” and “Don’t Forget About Us.”
