Why do mariah and nicki have beef

But for Nicki, the effects of the inflammatory headlines that got out at that time were very real to her. What's sure is that Nicki and Mariah were both victims of this industry that continues to pit women against each other. The two have gone separate ways since American Idol. They're not the closest of friends now, but they're certainly not feuding anymore. Still, they could have been two iconic besties if only the media didn't take things out of proportion.

The reality star and her drummer beau Travis Barker recently jetted to Portofino, Italy, where they were seen enjoying each other's company.

In the space of just a few weeks, American Idol judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj have become locked in a battle complete with f-bombs, a reported gun threat — and a bemused Keith Urban caught in the middle.

So where did all the fighting begin? Nicki has been taking all of the jabs, but on this particular day she lost it. Other insiders insist Carey did not provoke Minaj. But clearly tensions were high, as Minaj had stormed off the set earlier in the day. Mariah may have been going on a bit too long but she did apologize.

But then Nicki flipped out and started yelling. A feud takes a little longer to spread out [than that]," she said. October : "A little longer" turned out to be only two weeks later, when the women were videotaped arguing during an audition round in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 2.

The headline-making spat escalated to a curse-filled war of words where Minaj told the room, "I told them, I'm not fing putting up with her fing highness over there. One day later October 3 , Ryan Seacrest noted that the war of words went "too far" but that same day the two performers played nice when they judged talent in North Carolina without any further incidents and continued along to Louisiana that same week, also keeping their cool in front of "Idol" cameras.

But, on October 4, Carey called Barbara Walters and addressed the incident. Walters recalled her conversation with the chart-topper, sharing on "The View," "Mariah says she can't take a chance and she has hired extra security. Nicki has not apologized, but they have since been at meetings with producers and judges.
