. (popmusiclife) A potentially explosive situation on the set of American Idol this week between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj has gone very public.

Video of a feud between the new Idol judges during auditions for the new season was leaked early this week, with Minaj challenging and swearing at Carey as the two egos clashed on the set.

Things boiled over when Minaj was heard saying to Mariah, "if you say one more disrespectful thing to me�off with your head!"

Now, Mariah tells Barbara Walters of The View that she has hired extra security to handle Minaj: "Just before we went on the air, I called Mariah," said Walters. "She said that what you heard was troublesome, but that's not what really worried her. She said that that when Nicki walked off the set, multiple people heard Nicki say, 'If I had a gun, I would shoot that b----.'" more on this story
