Nicki Minaj claims Mariah Carey is one of her "favourite artists of all time".The Va Va Voom singer - who went head-to-head with the Hero singer during filming for the new series of American Idol last October and allegedly threatened to shoot Mariah - insists she has buried the hatchet with her fellow judge and feels privileged to be on a panel with her.
She told USMagazine.com on Tuesday: "I say nice things about Mariah all the time. She's one of my favourite artists of all times. She's really shaped a generation of singers. To be on a panel with her, it's kind of crazy."
The rapper also joked that she and Mariah, 42, were able to get past their feud by watching her sex tape.
