Nicki Minaj vs. Mariah Carey and the Female Weezy's Five Best Bitch Feuds

Mimi wants Nicki "Up Out of My Face."

American Idol has only just begun filming its 11th season. But in the grand tradition of Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell, two of the recent additions to the judges' table are already at each other's throats.

Pop stars turned Idol officials, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, really fucking hate each other.

While Mimi is certainly an exciteable 21st-century North American diva, history points to Ms. Minaj as the probable instigator.

After the jump, check out five of Crossfade's favorite Nicki Minaj bitch beefs.



Nicki vs. Cher
During the Dark Ages, conflict was resolved in public death matches that doubled as popular sports entertainment. Fast forward through The Enlightenment and The Industrial Revolution, and Mankind evolved beyond jousting in suits of armor, opting instead for duels fixed around firearms. Thankfully, the Twitter Age has reduced conflict to poorly articulated disses expressed in 140 characters or less.



Nicki vs. Azealia Banks
This is still a Twitter feud. But at least it's with another female rapper, not Cher. With fire tracks like "212," Ms. Banks may be poised to one day overtake the Female Weezy. But for now, only the latter is famous enough to sit in the Paula's chair on American Idol.
