HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY that the feud between Nicki and Mariah is actually Nicki’s fault! The insider warns that if Nicki Minaj doesn’t get her act together, she could be fired!

The heated fight between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey on the set of American Idol auditions on Oct. 2, in which both divas cursed each other out and stopped production, actually left the show’s producers on Mariah’s side.

“If you want to know who is a major diva it is Nicki Minaj,” a source close to American Idol told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.  ”She is a major handful and a complete pain.”

And it turns out, people on the show are on Team Mariah!

TMZ also reports that, according to sources, Nicki later threatened to “knock out” Mariah, though that was not caught on film.

The insider claims their clash in personalities is to blame. ”It’s based solely on the fact they both have amazingly huge egos, but Nicki Minaj takes the cake of having a major attitude problem,” the source said.

American Idol Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe spoke to HollwoodLife.com exclusively about the on set drama.

“The fact is, there will be such a very good American Idol that there will be differences of opinions,” he said. “And that is part of it.”
