…at least sort of. From MTV:

“Sometimes things get heated for their own reasons,” Carey tells The Hollywood Reporter about the feud that erupted on set during auditions in North Carolina. “I don’t think the panel has an issue.”

While Minaj didn’t directly address the altercation in the cover story, she did note that when pushed “I am scary and intimidating. I definitely demand respect. I’m also a sweet person. I’m a loving person. But I don’t want to be f—ed with.”

But the tensions still seem apparent when asked if she thinks her image might be too over-the-top for the show. She implied there’s someone else on the panel who dresses just as sexy as she does, and she didn’t mean Keith Urban or Randy Jackson. She added, “I could think of at least one other person that shows more cleavage and skin than me.”
