Another day, another Twitter battle.

Indeed, after the week started off with a bang with R&B bad boy Chris Brown’s fiery exchange with TV writer/comedienne Jenny Johnson, now his ‘Right By My Side’ co-star Nicki Minaj is stewing her own brand of Twit-battling with a rant against former ‘American Idol’ judge Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith).

The rock icon asserted during a recent interview with MTV that Minaj and fellow feuding judge Mariah Carey should, “Shut the f*ck up and focus [on the] talent”.

As what he said next has had much of the net abuzz for the past day or so, tell us:

Did Minaj respond fairly to Tyler’s comments?

A graduate of New York’s LaGuardia School Of Music & Arts, Nicki Minaj has risen to become Pop’s most renown Rapper, scoring more US Hot 100 singles than any other Female MC in chart history.

So, by way of her ever engaging public image, FOX’s ‘American Idol’ enlisted the starlet to sit on their Season 12 panel, perhaps hoping to capitalize on her experiences as a Contemporary act.

However, it seems ‘Check My Resume’ singer T-Boz is far from impressed by Idol’s decision to hire Minaj, questioning her ability to judge fresh talent.

And the fallout continues.

After maintaining a day’s silence following the video which confirmed their feud, American Idol judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey have begun to publicly address the drama.

Taking to Twitter moments ago, Minaj appeared to have a meltdown of sorts when speaking on the icon, going as far as to insuinate that she is being racially targeted. The Young Money’s star’s broken silence comes after Carey phoned in The View today to tell Barbara Walters her side of the “story”.

For one reason or another, Mariah Carey has always struggled to ‘play nice’ many of her contemporaries throughout her success laden career.

From Christina Aguilera to Madonna and Jennifer Lopez, many a chart belle has found themselves on the wrong end of Carey’s wit, or if reports from  ‘American Idol’s set are to believed, her condescending nature.

However, after being confronted by fellow ‘Idol’ judge Nicki Minaj for being just as condescending with her, ‘Wrecking Ball’ singer Aubrey O’Day has come out in Carey’s defense.

Last night, Rap’s brightest export Nicki Minaj performed at Wango Tango, a day long concert held by LA’s KIIS FM.

Serving up a set of her best numbers, which include ‘Did It On ‘Em’ and ‘Roman Holiday’, the MC delivered what we’d say one of her better performances, armed with the structure her set on ‘American Idol‘ lacked back in April.

Perhaps more than any femcee before her, Nicki Minaj‘s crossover into the mainstream has been greeted with both praise and critique. Yet following the release of new single ‘Starships’, the Young Money maven has been at the receiving end of heightened backlash from some sects for “selling out”.

Often compared for their outlandish fashions and ever provocative music, Nicki Minaj and Lady GaGa are two acts just as famed for their controversial antics as they are for their stand out talent.

Like Nicki Minaj and The Weeknd in the past, Drake is among the modern-day hitmakers of color who have spoken out against the Recording Academy for their alleged lack of transparency in the voting process for determining who wins GRAMMYs.

That trend is one that seems to show no sign of slowing.
