American Idol producers are definitely getting more than they asked for when they paired Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj together! It’s only been a week into auditions, and already the drama has escalated to the point that someone is calling in security!
As we reported to you yesterday, after claiming that Minaj threatened to shoot her, Carey told Barbara Walters that she was hiring extra security guards as a precaution against any future violence from Minaj.
Apparently, she wasn’t kidding.
TMZ obtained a photo of Carey arriving to an Idol photo shoot in Baton Rouge yesterday…complete with a full police escort (and someone to carry her umbrella for her)!
Sources say that both Carey and Minaj participated in the shoot without a hickup, even posing in some pictures TOGETHER. My guess is that Carey’s security team was not too far out of the frame when THOSE pics were taken, because clearly the beef is not squashed yet.
