It looks like all those happy publicity photos and denials of a feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are total bull.

We're still in the early stages of auditions for the upcoming season of American Idol, but it sounds like these two just can't get along. During the most recent auditions yesterday in Charlotte, North Carolina, Nicki launched a full-on ghetto attack at Mariah and according to video from TMZ, even threatened to knock her out! "Get this s*** in self-control...so every time you patronize me, I'm-ma take it back, and if you've got a f***ing problem, handle it," said Nicki. "I told them I'm not putting up with her f***ing highness over there. Figure it the f*** out." Um, wow. WOW.

How did the producers handle the conflict? Find out after the jump!
