When Nicki Minaj verbally assaulted Mariah Carey clashed on the set of ‘American Idol’, their showdown made headlines across the globe. However, in the second episode of ‘Nicki Minaj: My Truth’ the former claimed that the media was blatantly biased against her with their coverage because of one simple reason: racism.
Minaj suggested that Carey instigated their argument and that the legendary singer wanted to be the only female on the ‘American Idol’ panel. “I stormed off the stage because I didn’t want to do that. I left and when I came back,” Minaj maintained. “She admitted that she did not want another female doing the show thinking that somebody was coming to steal her shine.”
Later, Minaj commented that Barbara Walters of ‘The View’ took Carey’s side with her coverage of the event and that she didn’t defend Minaj because she’s “a little black girl who raps”. Naturally, Minaj overlooked the fact that Walters never took any sides in the affair, offered the rapper the chance to explain herself on ‘The View’ and only personally contacted Carey because they have been friends for many years.
Watch Minaj prove that she has no media training or tact in episode 2 of ‘My Truth’ below:
Thanks Mr. World Premiere!
