WHOA.

This is getting IN-SANE!!

Following their secretly taped fight, a source close to the production has accused Nicki Minaj of slapping Mariah Carey with a big ole' death threat!!

According to the source, Nicki later said, "If I had a gun, I'd shoot her!"

WTF!?! We LOVE LOVE LOVE Minajesty, but we do not love violence!

Luckily, Nigel Lythgoe cleared the air and had Nicki's back, saying:

"The statement [that Nicki made a death threat] is absolute rubbish. It's absolutely not true in any way, shape or form."

He also said Mariah's camp was fueling the fire by giving her false info without checking it first.

YEESH!! DRAMA ALL AROUND!!

Wonder what it'll do for ratings.... ;)
