Mariah Carey Hires Extra Security After Nicki Minaj Threatens To Kill Her

Mariah Carey is scurred! Days after the dustup with Nicki Minaj, the pop diva told Barbara Walters that she hired extra security after Nicki was allegedly overheard by staff members saying, “If I had a gun, I would shoot a b***h,” while walking away from set.

Barbara added: “She says she’s very concerned, she can’t take a chance and she’s hired extra security. Mariah says she feels emotionally uncomfortable but will continue the show.

Mariah’s publicist also released a statement:

“For the record, Mariah is doing well. She obviously has serious concerns. She plans to move forward. She believes this season will be the best ever.”

Take a look:
