Pop diva Mariah Carey said she increased security following what she described as threats reportedly made against her by fellow American Idol judge Nicki Minaj, according to an interview on ABC News.
Carey, 42, one of three new judges to join the American Idol panel for the hit talent show’s new season on January 16 said, “It felt like an unsafe work environment. Anytime anybody’s reeling threats at somebody, you know, it’s not appropriate.”
“I’m a professional. I’m not used to that type of environment,” she said, adding that she hired extra security.
The diva was alluding to widely reported tension between her and Minaj, who were seen arguing with one another in a video from the show’s audition phase. According to Carey, others on the Idol set heard Minaj say, off-camera, “If I had a gun, I would shoot that b…h.” However, Minaj, denied making any remarks about firearms.
Carey still felt that beefing up her security “was the appropriate thing to do.”
