Nicki Minaj Blows Her Top On American Idol

Secret footage has emerged of Nicki Minaj blowing her top at the American Idol auditions in North Carolina.

During the sweary tirade, Minaj’s anger is aimed at her fellow judge Mariah Carey who she threatens to “knock out” over a disagreement.

In the footage obtained by TMZ, 29-year-old Minaj blasts "I told them I'm not f* putting up with her f* highness over there."

Bewildered fellow judges Keith Urban and Randy Jackson can be seen trying to diffuse the situation as the show’s crew look on.

It’s reported that after the exchange producers axed the rest of the day’s auditions to let the Nicki and Mariah cool down.

There were media reports of other skirmishes between the pair last week, however Mariah denied these claims.

Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and Mariah Carey are all new judges on the new series of the US show joining stalwart Randy Jackson.
