Mariah Carey Increased Security Over 'Idol' Feud with Nicki Minaj
Singer Mariah Carey has increased security in the wake of her “American Idol” feud with Nicki Minaj. The “Obsessed” songstress revealed to Barbara Walters in an interview with ABC News that she was concerned about her safety after Nicki allegedly made comments about a gun.
As auditions for the new “American Idol” season got underway in October, there was tension between the two women. One tiff was caught on camera (watch below), and Mariah has publicly claimed that after the row several people heard the "Pink Friday" singer say, "If I had a gun, I would shoot that bitch."
Nicki called the accusation a “fabrication.”
Carey told Barbara it felt like an “unsafe work environment” and “Anytime anybody's reeling threats at somebody, you know, it's not appropriate.”
Mariah, who has twins Moroccan and Monroe with hubby Nick Cannon, added, "Sitting there on the road with two babies, I'm not going to take any chances.”
She does, however, see the silver lining, telling the news veteran, "For all the drama, I hope it helps the show."
The new season of "American Idol" debuts Jan. 16 at 8 PM on FOX.

In my opinion Mariah is being paid WAYYYYYYYYYYY to much for being on Idol, and just like she said "drama increase ratings" because if she was truelly concerned and if it were true I doubt one of the 2 ladies wouldn't be on Idol.Either that or money is by far more important to Mariah then her safety. Its just drama to help the show ratings and thats what I think, I don't believe it for a minute! And I hope Randy Jackson is being paid more then Nicki.He has been on the show way longer then any of these people other then Ryan Seacrest, in my opinion he deserves better pay.
This should be nikey's (however she's trying to spell that crap)first and last season. What the hell were you all thinking. Putting her on any show is a huge mistake. She's a big joke. Her music caters to a small audience. By small, I mean children. She has no manners, and she doesn't act like a lady. It must be jealousy that makes her so rude. She's not like that with the other judges. Go figure.
niki(small n intended) is a joke. Her music caters to a small audience. By small I mean, children. And she still acts like a child so...Jealousy makes you do, and say crazy things, I guess.
Don't trust her Mariah! She is a weirdo !!
