Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey continue to make headlines for their alleged manufactured beef that has given American Idol the most press it’s had in years. After reports and a video surfaced that showed both ladies getting into a rather nasty spat that involved plenty of curse words, speculation has been rampant about how nasty things have gotten between the two. But unfortunately for Nicki and Mariah (and most importantly, Simon Cowell), someone close to the production staff already spilled the beans earlier today. According to this person, the beef between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey is nothing more than a publicity stunt. Regardless of whether or not that really is the case, both ladies continue to milk the attention the drama seems to be getting for all it’s worth.
After Mariah Carey told Barbara Walters in a recent interview that Nicki Minaj threatened to shoot her and she felt the need to then hire more security, Nicki Minaj had an epic rant on Twitter.
She tweets:
Nicki even tweeted that she had some tea she should pour, but she eventually decided against doing so. We’re wondering if she was thinking about confirming the earlier reports that suggest this whole controversy is just for publicity. Regardless, we have to admit, if this was a publicity stunt, it’s certainly working.
Shut up Nicki.
For real!!!!! So irrealevant to human society!!!!! @ Nicki half of your tweets sound just as uneducated as you are #Ghetto Failure
girl u need too grow the h*** up mariah dont stoop to this democrat level u need help feel sorry for u and ur not on simons level !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both of these drama queens needs to shut up and be banned from tweeting ever again. We know it’s a publicity stunt now, don’t try to drag this out another 15 mins.
Sigh…Nicki is so damn immature. If Mariah is lying and taking this stunt further than she should, call your lawyer. How old is she, 12?
I’m so over these two. I really am.
Went to Mariah’s Twitter and saw no rants, no shade, nothing. Again, Mariah makes Nicki look weak and immature without doing…anything. Smh.
Was all these tweets really necessary though? This might be a stunt, but Nicki is the only one that looks a fool in all of this. This is what happens when most of your fans are just children.
Nicki, Mariah, we really don’t care anymore. You guys have already been exposed for your fake beef. Don’t try to turn it up now like we can’t see what’s going on.
I think this might actually turn some of mainstream America (i.e. 40-year-old white women) off from the show. They do not like to see such ratchet activity on their network shows.
This “beef” makes me not stand either of these ladies and I use the term lady loosely. d
