Stevie Nicks has apologized for saying, “If I had been Mariah, I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there,” after hearing about their fight on “American Idol”
The Daily reported that Nicks, who was a coach for the contestants on the last season, said she was glad she wasn’t involved his year.
Talking about rapper Minaj’s outburst against Mariah Carey, Nicks said, “How dare this little girl! … If I had been Mariah I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there.”
She added during an interview day promoting her new documentary “In Your Dreams”, “I would have killed her in front of all those people and had to go to jail for it.”
But today Nicks released a statement saying, “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. 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.”
