Mariah Carey Connection

Mariah Carey is beefing up her security staff since her altercation with fellow American Idol judge Nicki Minaj.

On Thursday’s installment of The View, Barbara Walters revealed that Carey has hired extra security after Minaj, 29, was allegedly overheard by staff members saying, “If I had a gun, I would shoot a b***h,” while walking away from set.

Walters, who spoke with 42-year-old Carey via phone prior to the show, went on to say that while Carey doesn’t think anything will actually happen between the two, the pop singer is concerned and not “comfortable emotionally.”

Said Walters: “Nicki said after the meeting, ‘I love you but we may fight again.’ Mariah said, ‘No we will not.’”

What did Minaj have to say about Walters’ revelations?

Not surprisingly, she unleashed a tirade on Twitter — denying that she threatened Carey, accusing the “Hero” singer of “lies” and dissing Walters for not contacting her about the gun allegations.
