Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are no cowards when it comes to a battle of the words. Apparently, a video leaked containing Nicki slewing all kinds of vulgarities at Mariah Carey.

According to entertainment sources, Minaj is apparently fed up with Carey's self-exalted ego and wants to redirect focus on the contestants and amerliorating their vocal skills and performance.

"Nicki is tired of it," said the source. "She keeps bringing up how many records she's sold, name dropping people she's worked with, how many tours she's done, and how many Grammys or awards she's won."

"It did get intense," Ryan Seacrest announced on his radio show, "We want that. We want them to be on this panel together. This is a good team, a great team, to go out and look for the next American Idol ... the feedback that they give is very good."

Apparently, the host seemed unaffected by the verbal fight. Are you lured by the drama or does it make you want to flip the channel?
