(TMZ) - Nicki Minaj derailed the "American Idol" auditions in Charlotte, North Carolina Tuesday, after swearing at Mariah Carey and threatening, "Im gonna knock you out"... sources tell TMZ.
In the footage, obtained by TMZ, Nicki is clearly furious, shouting, "I told them Im not f****n putting up with her f****n highness over there."
Sources say Nicki later threatened to "knock out" Mariah, but she said it before the video starts.
It all went down while the two were sitting at the judges table, with Keith Urban sitting in between them and Randy Jackson sitting on the far end, next to Mariah.
TMZ reports the whole thing exploded over a disagreement over a contestants performance.
Listen closely as you play the video... youll hear:
Nicki Get this s**t in self control. Get in control. Get in control.
Randy Settle down, settle down
Nicki Dont lose your head. Dont lose your head (inaudible). Dont tell me Im a gangster.
Nicki (inaudible) every 5 minutes. So every time you patronize me, Im-ma take it back, and if youve got a f**king problem, handle it.
Nicki I told them Im not f**kin putting up with her f**king highness over there. Figure it the f**k out. Figure it out.
Nicki Im not gonna sit here every f**king minute to have you come down and harass me every minute everyday.
Mariah is talking back at Nicki but its hard to hear what shes saying.
According to MouthToEars.com, producers ended the auditions for the day so the two judges could cool down. Weve confirmed that happened.
Big wigs on the show seem uncharacteristically upset by the blow up. It seems producers are worried about Mariah and Nicki co-existing for the long haul.
