VIDEONicki Minaj opened up about her feud with fellow “American Idol” judge Mariah Carey on part two of her E! special

Minaj revealed, “I really felt good when I left [the set] yesterday, and then I hear that Mariah went to Barbara Walters with some more fabrication that even the [American Idol] producers had told her were never said.”
The “Starships” singer added that she’s too smart to make such a violent threat, and that she was “in shock” when she got wind of Carey’s statements.
Minaj went on to explain that she didn’t speak out about her and Carey’s on-set spat because she “wanted everything to blow over,” but then Carey began talking to outlets about the fight, giving the public a one-sided perception of what actually happened.
Addressing Walters, Minaj asks, “Am I not good enough for you to get my side [of the story]? Because I’m a little black girl that raps?”
“If I was J.Lo, you would have called J.Lo’s camp,” she said, adding, “Are we not good enough for you Barbara?”
“You don’t f**kin’ know me,” Minaj concludes.
She then goes on to discuss the Carey feud, explaining, “Why would I want to have a rift with someone that I’ve looked up to my whole life? Like I’ve loved her… and I even told her that.”
“I’m happy that Mariah’s on the panel,” she added, calling Carey “one of the best singers in the world.”
