"Nick Cannon has claimed that the recent American Idol feud between his wife Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj &amp;quot;made for good news&amp;quot;. The show has been the subject of controversy after a video leaked which showed Minaj shouting at Carey during auditions.   The feud appeared to escalate after Carey allegedly told Barbara Walters that Minaj had threatened to &amp;quot;shoot&amp;quot; her during the altercation, a statement denied by Minaj and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. However, Cannon has now told E! Online that he &amp;quot;wasn&amp;#039;t concerned&amp;quot; about his wife&amp;#039;s safety. &amp;quot;With drama, it&amp;#039;s theatrics,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not worried about that stuff.&amp;quot; Cannon added that he doesn&amp;#039;t know whether Minaj did make a gun threat, saying: &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t there. It made for good news. It sounded good, right? Good job, Fox.&amp;quot; The America&amp;#039;s Got Talent host has previously hinted that the video could have been leaked as a publicity stunt, saying that he was &amp;quot;disappointed&amp;quot; in the show&amp;#039;s network Fox. Minaj is also said to be angry with the show&amp;#039;s producers over the argument, which host Ryan Seacrest previously described as &amp;quot;intense&amp;quot;. Former judge Steven Tyler has also alleged that the altercation was a stunt, but American Idol&amp;#039;s bosses recently released a statement insisting that &amp;quot;production is going extremely well&amp;quot;.
