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!

o_O RACISM?! SHE NEEDS A MAJOR REALITY CHECK!
Nicki Minaj never said it was because of racism Trent is assuming
“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”<————- did you read that or watch the video? she was implying that it was because of racism. She even said if it was Jlo it would be different.
The bitch is milking the situation to promote her flop upcoming album.
Number 1 JLo is Spanish. #2 it doesn’t change the fact that Trent is assuming that what she meant. It could have been she was insinuating she was being peduiuce
Prejudice against someone who raps. Once again she didn’t say it, so you’re assuming that’s what she meant
The reason why Trent and most people here assumed that it was implied racism was because she said little BLACK girl that raps, the emphasis being on the black. If she had only said a little girl that raps then it would be different.
Noted! But the fact Mariah is half black herself rules out racism. So yes you are right Trent and other ppl are assuming, like I previously said.
This bitch need to sit down!
But Mariah’s black, though, so where is the (implied) racism? I think she meant to call it favoritism, that’s more accurate.
If she wanted to tell her side of the story, why not just do it on this show since it is her show? This is her platform to tell her side and she did not do so.
She wanted to use this feud to promote her flop album!
She did tell her side on the show are you serious? Did you watch those videos?
She only said that there were passive aggressive comments made and that what we saw was a reaction. But she did not go into detail as to what EXACTLY was said by Mariah that provoked such a reaction. In the rant that she had, she only talked about how she was upset with Barbara for not calling to get her side. This was the perfect time for her to spill the entire tea and she did not.
Now if you heard something that I did not then I would love for you to reply and tell me what her side of the story is because as far as I am concerned, she didn’t say anything.
Oh but according to people in the comments section of this site if she were to do that she was using it as promo or has no respect for Mariah. She just cant win now cant she?
Yeah but regardless of what people have to say, her complaint is that no one asked to hear her side. And this was her opportunity to break the situation down for everyone so that we can have a better understanding of the situation and know her truth, which is the point of the show.
She said what she had to say tho I get it. It’s not like the show was centered around that silly feud anyway.
You are right about the favoritism but people do not consider Mariah black because she is irish and half venezeulan (sp) and half black.
Actually Mariah is half black. Get your facts right, her father was a black Venezuelan meaning, he was a black man from Venezuelan.
Nicki fans just jump on the music scene, they don’t know any of Nicki enemies music history. They think they just came out yesterday.
& I remember Mariah said her father was half Black American & Venezuelan.
Fuck her. People like her make life so much harder black people. Racism is everywhere and it’s something so complex and entrenched in society that it will never go away. But when people like her run around screaming racism every other day (and this is far from the first time), they trivialize the entire issue perpetuate the stereotype that black people just have a chip on her shoulder.
So, again, fuck her. She was dragged by both white and black media because of the simple fact that she was acting like a trashy piece of shit hoodrat in a working environment. No one is saying Mariah is an angel, and I’m sure she was throwing shade, but she never crosses the line and stays classy.
And you cursing and acting like a hooray on a blog is…
Nicki haters don’t get that, though. LOL.
Jack,
u sound like a slave. stop making excuses for white people who stereotype blacks…. especially whites in America.
anyway, i think Mariah & Nicki are probably both drama queens so I won’t take sides on this one.
Nicki is such a ratchet hoe.
Gotta agree with Jack. Although I probably would’ve put it more delicately…
IF Nicki admired and respected Mariah, which she has admitted several times.
1) WHY go on the show, knowing that Mariah didn’t want you there? Not that Nicki needs Mariah’s permission. But they are friends and have worked together in the past. She could have called Mariah on the phone and asked if it was ok for her to join. The fact that Nicki didn’t, shows that she did wanted to turn this into a competition. Childish attitude
2) Post-fight. IF she truly respected Mariah, why continue the beef on twitter? And why continue to speak about it? Clearly she is trying to use the media attention for her own personal gain and to promote her album.
I’m not trying to put all the blame on Nicki. I honestly believe that Mariah instigated it. But the classy response is to walk away, which Mariah did. Mariah has not talked or addressed the fued since it has happened. 1 month later, and Nicki is still talking about it. GET OVER IT!
Are you kidding me?
1) It’s not Mariah’s show. Mariah didn’t want her on the show for ego/insecurity issues. Mariah is using it as a platform to comeback and she feels the only way that can happen is if she has the spotlight as the only female. Nicki nor Idol needs to cater to her ego.
Nicki is thinking about her own career and expanding her own base. She doesn’t perform on VMAs to try and upstage Rihanna or Perform on the grammy’s to upstage Whitney. Artists have to think about their own career. What don’t you get??? It’s childish for you to think that artist need to have chats with people that have no weight on making decisions. I love mariah and loved her way longer than Nicki but there is no justification for her to be childish like a high schooler and have issues with another female just because she’s there. If Nicki did something to her then yes.
2) Mariah tweeted something and then deleted. She also had Barbra speak on her behalf and took out a full page ad in a newspaper.Even Nicki said that in there meeting they agreed to move on…she responded once those statements came out…it’s called being human.
I hear your point. BOTH sides are wrong but Nicki did get her mission accomplished. Mimi set her up and baited her to act up so that she can use it as a tool to get her off the stage. Nicki let it build until she instilled fear in her and made Mimi so uncomfortable that she is too scared to be herself and take those passive aggressive jabs that she has been taking at her rivals (madonna, xtina, jlo, etc.) for decades. If Nicki talks about it after this then I will not like it. But she used this to clear the air because believe it or not everyone doesn’t have a twitter account but most have a tv and youtube access.
Did you HEAR Mariah say any of this or are you just going by what Nicki is saying?
Barbra said Mariah said. So there you go and who says Nicki is still talking about it. Wasn’t this filmed a while ago…?
One word: Classy
Seems like Nicki had nothing but respect for Mariah, but Mariah’s insecurities were making her act a fool.
Why is Mariah Carey allowing Nicki to bitch slap her every week. I don’t see anybody mentioning Nicki’s twitter rant about Mariah the next day after the video was revealed. American Idol should be protecting Mariah from this slander. Now, Mariah’s history will always mention this American Idol fiasco and the name Nicki Minaj. Mariah needs to do something to come out the winner. Being nice and gracious to this bitch ain’t working.
You see haha you guys kill me. This is the sh*t you thumbs up? This site readers’ are so full of hatred when it comes to Nicki, Trent doesn’t even have to do anything he just sits down writes a post and make sure he give you guys the gasoline for the fire, and walk away. He knows exactly what he’s doing what a smart man he is.
One more record and she’ll be gone. Lets just sit back and watch her disappear!! she might be able to rap, all the talent in the world means nothing without a personality to match.
The chick comes off as a mega bitch in these videos. Look at the last one. Why is she always yelling at people and acting like a 2 year old?
This is how I feel about the fight. I don’t know what happened, but the way Nicki handled the situation was unprofessional in a work environment. She should have waited after they were done filming/working to go off like that. We all know Mariah wanted to be the only female but Nicki basically gave into her by acting like a damn fool. I also love how Nicki KEEPS talking about Mariah when she pays her dust.
This whole mariah vs nicki thing was probably just a big clash of egos .. There’s mariahs side then nickis side and then there’s the truth .. We’ll probably never know what really want down but who cares to be honest lol As for nicki shes not coming off that great in this show .. Her special with mtv my time now I loved and it showed her with her family and u got to know her a little .. Now she just seems like a raving drama queen .. Nicki had/has so much potential as a viable hip hop artist .. I’m actually really dissapointed
also, its nauseating how she licks waynes arse. “hes a genius”, hes about as genius as she is.
Didn’t Mariah’s new single flop? Oh ok. Legend or not everyone desrves respect. I don’t give a fuck what Mariah has done.
Mariah has done a lot & no one can take that away from her. But that doesn’t mean she is right for everything she does or everything she does will be gold. Dont make your hatred for the dumb people who lack that logic to understand that blurr your vision.
Didn’t nicki minaj album flop?
Didn’t Mariah’s?
And yet she’s on her second album flopping HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why is she calling mariah “passive-aggressive” when she has been passive aggressively dissing lil kim and other female rappers since 2003?
Maybe because she is, if one is passive aggressive it doesn’t change the fact another person is.
Nicki is one walking contradiction. Her music is passive aggressive. One, Mariah didn’t call tmz. Tmz makes up a load of crap. Two Barbara called Mariah, Mariah didn’t call Barbara. Three, sure Mimi wanted to be the only female artist, so that she could give her all to the show. Perhaps the producers blindsided her. Next, of course Nicki isn’t gonna take her shine, you aren’t in her league. Nicki just wanted to try to make a statement, and she failed. Being loud and obnoxious isn’t gonna garner you any good grace. Nicki was just pissed that she couldn’t match someone on the level of an “MC”. She was clearly out classed.
Her ego got a reality check. Lastly, why allow it to even get to that point, why not address her, and say some of the things being thrown around are making this situation uneasy. She was trying to make a statement and she failed miserably. Now, she goes back to that blk girl women thing. That’s typical and lame.
Nicki has a funky attitude, and she acts as if she is more than what she is. She’s use to running things, and she ran into a major road block that is MC.
Nicki needs to STOP. Nobody cares about that shit anymore! She wants ppl to take her side so bad, she wants ppl to pick on Mariah so badly but that ain’t happening girl. That girl has lost it. Clearly! smh.
What a bitch.
What are the ratings for this show?
Notice: Mariah Carey is soooo passive aggressive that she is still shading Nicki on TV and twitter. /sarcasm
