Perhaps in a bid to sully Nicki Minaj‘s public image and soften her own at the same time, iconic diva Mariah Carey arrived at  an ‘American Idol’ photo shoot in Baton Rouge yesterday…with a police escort.

This, following a threat she claims- but vehemently denied by ‘Idol‘ producers and Minaj herself- saw the Rapper threaten to shoot her after getting into a nasty argument on Monday while filming together.

Sure to intensify their already volatile relationship, Mimi’s decision to call the police and discuss the matter with ‘The View’s Barbara Walters is believed to have triggered an obnoxious Twitter rant from the Pepsi front man.

A rant, which saw her spew the following:

I guess it hurts 2 have the producers tell u to ur face that nicki is the best judge we’ve had since simon. Awww, poor u. Keep them lies cmn

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) October 4, 2012

Here’s hoping this year’s talent isn’t overshadowed by this week’s drama.

We also hope Minaj learns to showcase the class and composure she didn’t deliver during last night’s outburst. An outburst, that was both embarrassing for both herself and the brands she depends on to push her cause.

Your thoughts?

Rihanna may have whipped up an impressive buzz for her new single ‘Diamonds‘ last week, but it seems her ‘Navy’ aren’t as sold on the song as they had previously let on.

Reason being?

Well, despite helping the star generate over 2,000 comments on a single article right here on That Grape Juice upon the cut’s release, the fan base failed to purchase enough copies of the song to secure it a Top Ten position in this week’s Hot 100 tally.

A tally, which saw ‘Blow’ star Kesha fare better than ‘We Found Love’ singer with her latest single.
