Back then, TMZ reported that Nicki Minaj put Mariah Carey in her place during the auditions of the show in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the video, Minaj can be heard saying, “I’m gonna knock you out. I told them I’m not f*ckin’ putting up with her f**kin’ highness over there.” Carey, on the other hand, was not backing down whatsoever. She came with a rebuttal and said, “Oh why, WHYYYY .do I have a three year old sitting around me?” She continues, “I can’t see my kids, because you decided to act like a little crazy bitch and go all around the stage.”
At this point, Nicki Minaj had had enough and she said, “Think I’m playin? Think this sh*t is a f*cking joke? Think it’s a joke? Think it’s a joke? Think it’s a joke? Say one more disrespectful thing to me, if you say one more disrespectful thing to me — off with your head!” It was reported that the auditions were cut off and the production crew called it a half-day to let the two judges get their head right. Apparently, the fight broke out between the two over a contestant.
