Rapper Nicki Minaj has risked the wrath of her fellow American Idol judge Mariah Carey once again after making light of their infamous feud by joking that she fights using "whatever weapon is handy".

The two new talent show judges were filming an audition in Charlotte, North Carolina in October when they became embroiled in an argument over a contestant.

Video footage of their heated exchange soon emerged online and at one point, an angry Minaj is alleged to have raged, "If I had a gun I would shoot her (Carey)."

The hip-hop star claimed she never uttered those comments, but Carey refused to believe her denial and instead beefed up her security team to protect her twin babies, Monroe and Moroccan.
