Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj Beef: Carey Steps Up Security And Confides In Barbara Walters

Nicki Minaj gun threats are causing Mariah Carey to beef up security. The Hip hop star was reportedly heard saying, "If I had a gun, I would shoot the b***h." Barbara Walters called the singer to discuss about the "Idol" feud between which she dished about on the "View" during the "Hot Topics" segment. 

Walters said the "Hero" singer said she was bothered by the threats when Nicki had walked off stage and multiple people heard her say that she was going to shoot her. Walters told her co-hosts that Mariah is "very concerned." Walters also added, "She doesn't fear anything would happen -- and I'm quoting -- 'but Nicki is unpredictable'" and Mariah says she "can't take a chance."

Walters reported that the singer hired more security and said there was an Idol meeting on Wednesday where Nicki told Mariah, "I love you, but we might fight again."  Mariah fired right back and said, "No, we will not."

After Barbara's segment, Minaj went to twitter and said, "Hey yAll. Lets just say nicki said smthn about a gun. ppl will believe it cuz she's a black rapper. Lmao. I'll then hit up Barbara n milk it." She continued, "Ironically no camera or mic heard the gun comment tho. Lol @ the struggle. Not even the producers believed u. Say no to violence barbz.

Clearly upset, Minaj fired a shot directed to Walters in a tweet:

"Barbara walters didn't reach out from our team barbz. I guess we're too dangerous. Don't shake if u don't wannA get shook!!!! LmAoooooooooo." She added, "I don't call tmz n Barbara Walters cuz I stand on my own two feet. Never needed an army. God is good. Insecurity is as cruel as the grave."
