When Nicki Minaj first arrived at the forefront of the music scene in 2010, Lil Kim tried to warn us that her biggest fan was mentally unstable. Well, most people didn’t pay attention to her words until yesterday when Minaj basically snatched off her own wig and launched a massive online assault against an unsuspecting Mariah Carey.
Following Carey’s comments to Barbara Walters on ‘The View’ regarding Minaj’s threatening words to her on the set of ‘American Idol’, the rapper stormed Twitter with fiery comments targeting the diva. Claiming that Carey is “intimidated” by her and simply trying to play the role of a victim, Minaj assembled her army of misguided souls – the Ken Dolls and Barbz – to help her disgrace Carey.
In fact, Minaj was so determined to disgrace every person affiliated with Carey that she even slammed Da Brat after seeing a fake comment written by an unknown source. This wild behaviour continued for hours as Minaj fired a wave of insults, without ever directly messaging Carey, and ‘retweeting’ the words of the excited Barbz, most of whom ironically didn’t support Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ album in a similar fashion. To date, the LP has sold less than 660K copies in the US.

Basically, Minaj has proven herself to be an unpredictable and uncontrollable character, thus providing Carey with sufficient evidence to have her removed from the ‘American Idol’ panel. Of course, that can only happen if their contracts stipulate that creating a hostile work environment would be accepted as grounds for dismissal.
Minaj has truly degraded the image of the ‘American Idol’ brand to that of scandalous reality television and her antics could really tarnish the reputations of the other judges, whose public images are now at risk merely through affiliation with her. Unless, this was all just a clever plan by the producers of the show where Minaj simply took one for the team to generate buzz for the season premiere in January.
Think about it: rumours of Minaj and Carey’s feud erupted the very same day that the former was announced as the fourth judge on the show. They were then quite vague while discussing the tension with the press and then when they class on the set, a camera just happened to be rolling and FOX has done nothing to have that copyrighted footage removed from the web?
So, Minaj is either a raving lunatic who needs to be sedated or a far better actor then a she is a singer. Either way, it is clear that ‘American Idol’ is now focused on the judges instead of the talent of the contestants and it is a complete embarrassment.
