Here we go again…

Just when it seemed like the Nicki/Mariah drama was dying down, the Va Va Voom femcee pop star has found herself a new American Idol beef.

In a recent interview with MTV, former judge and Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler, made it pretty clear that he didn’t like what was going on with the show’s new panel of ‘experts.’

I know that they’ve got something going on on the judges’ panel, [and] it shouldn’t be that, it should be just the opposite: They should have something going on, which is called ‘camaraderie.’ They should have something going on so thick and beautiful that they can lay it over the new talent that’s trying to birth itself. It needs to be birthed, not judged by ‘entertainment’ factors, it needs to be judged by people that [are] honest, true, that have the ‘it’ factor. Not the ‘it’ factor because they can fight. The f— is that all about?

You just have to give your opinion. It wasn’t hard for me, but I would imagine it’s hard for some people, and they need a manager to say ‘Shut the f— up, and just give them your opinion.’ These kids, they just got out of a car from the Midwest somewhere and they’re in New York City, they’re scared to death; you’re not going to get the best [out of them]. … If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield! Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out, as we did with Phillip Phillips. Just saying.

Now correct me if I’m wrong here, but this statement seems pretty cut and dry to me. Steven’s basically saying that the judges need to ditch the drama and focus on the contestants, or they might miss someone really great during an audition. Nicki however, interpreted this in a completely different fashion.

After hearing what Steven had to say, she took to Twitter to let her Barbz know just how she felt.

Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven’t seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet!

I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers. I haven’t done anything to you. That’s a racist comment

You assume that I wouldn’t have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go fuck yourself and worry about yourself babe.

LOL lets make him a shirt that says “No Coloreds Allowed” then escort him down 2 Barbara Walters so he can tell how he was threatened w/guns

When Steven 1st went on Idol he was ridiculed by his peers & fans alike. Called a sell out. So what does he do? Ridicule the next judge.

C’mon Nicki, really?! It’s clear Steven isn’t here for you one bit, but I don’t see any of his comments as racist. Go ahead and be salty that he doesn’t think you have talent, but why make it into something that it’s not?

Do you guys agree, or do you see it from Nicki’s side? Sound off!
