Stevie Nicks regrets the harsh comments she made about strangling Nicki Minaj. The Fleetwood Mac musician apologized in a statement Thursday.
"I want to apologize for my remarks about Nicki Minaj's behavior toward Mariah Carey, which I said during a long and exhausting day of interviews. It was very out of character for me and I deeply regret what I said,” Nicks said. “I feel very protective toward Mariah Carey who has gone through many difficulties in her life and I spoke without thinking. I think all artists should be respectful toward one another and that includes me. I am truly sorry.”
While promoting her documentary “On Your Dreams” on Tuesday, Nicks expressed outrage at the way Minaj verbally attacked Mariah Carey during an American Idol audition earlier this month. "How dare this little girl. . . . If I had been Mariah, I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there. I would have killed her in front of all those people and had to go to jail for it,” she said.
In TMZ’s footage of the attack it appears Minaj felt disrespected by something Carey said. Veteran judge Randy Jackson pleads with the pair to calm down while Keith Urban avoids getting involved. “Think I'm playin? Think this sh*t is a f*cking joke? Think it’s a joke? Think it’s a joke? Think it’s a joke? Say one more disrespectful thing to me, if you say one more disrespectful thing to me -- off with your head!” Minaj snaps.
“I am not being disrespectful,” Carey insists.
“Don’t tell me I'm insecure, don’t tell me I'm inadequate ... you gonna get sent [inaudible] just fall back; don’t ... you don’t know [inaudible] I don’t feel inadequate. You’re the insecure one sittin' up there running down her resume every five minutes,” Minaj continues. “Every time you take a shot at me I'ma take it back, and if you gotta f*cking problem then handle it. I told them, I'm not f*cking putting up with your f*cking highness over there ... figure it the f*ck out. Figure it out.”
“Whyyyy, whhyyyyy... do I have a 3-year-old sitting around me?” Carey says.
