OH SNAP!

We all had heard that Mariah Carey was not happy about Nicki Minaj jumping on board the American Idol judges’ panel and that the two were already not getting along in the early stages of the auditions round, but I thought those murmurs were just rumors…well, not so much. They’re for real yo!

During Idol auditions in Charlotte, North Carolina Tuesday, Nicki went off on Mariah, cussing her out. TMZ reports that she even threatened Carey, saying, “I’m gonna knock you out.”

This makes the ‘feud’ between Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest look like the playful child play that it was. Oh the good ‘ole Idol days…

Check out the footage obtained by TMZ where an outraged Nicki shouts: “I told them I’m not f*ckin’ putting up with her f**kin’ highness over there.”

Poor Keith Urban. You see him just sitting between the two. And Randy Jackson. He doesn’t do anything to stop the madness either.

Watch the fight here:
