LADY GAGA PRODUCER SPITS FIRE AT NICKI MINAJ: "F*CK YOU, GET A GRIP"

Grammy-winning singer Lady Gaga producer DJ White Shadow has fired a few shots towardYoung Money rapper Nicki Minaj and questioned her true worth.

Prior to deleting the initial comment, Shadow went straight at Minaj's head and called her talentless.

DJ White Shadow has vented his frustrations over Nicki Minaj. The producer, who helped produce Lady GaGa's third album Born This Way, took to Twitter to blast the rapper. He tweeted: "Ok. Nicki Minaj. F**k you. Get a grip. You are lucky, not talented. Stop. Please stop. XO. DJWS" The message was deleted shortly after. (Digital Spy)

White Shadow followed up the deleted comment with some clarification on his stance toward Nicki.

"Oops didn't mean to delete that. But I don't recall what I said, basically it was "come on son" to nicki. Cause you are wack.," Shadow tweeted November 5th.

"F*ck. What is wrong with the world."

"You can be judgmental. My views are my own. I am by myself. I don't hate. It's not hate, just dislike for poor taste."

"You forget I am a human with MY own opinions."

"I am allowed to have a completely independent opinion. Cause I am paul. Not anyone else. And that is my feeling. So goodnight." (DJ White Shadow's Twitter)

Over the summer, one of Lady Gaga's fans called out Minaj for jacking her style.

Nicki Minaj will probably never escape the Lady GaGa comparisons, but it does seems as thought they are starting to get under her skin. The reigning Queen of Hip-Hop was recently heckled by a Lady GaGa fan as she exited an airport. The fan called her a GaGa "rip off" and told her that she "needs to stop copying Lady GaGa." In the video description it says that Nicki called the overzealous GaGa fan a "b*tch," but I didn't hear it. Did you? Glad to see Nicki kept her cool in this situation. Do you agree with the fan, is Nicki a GaGa clone? (All Hip Hop Rumors)

A few months back, the Young Money star addressed the frequent comparisons.

"We are in completely different lanes. First of all, I'm a rapper. I'm from southside Jamaica, Queens," Nicki said in an interview. "Gaga's a fantastic artist, you know, she paved her way. She's opened her own lane. But I think that I have my own lane, and we never cross. Ever. So, you know, I really don't get the comparison anymore. Our music doesn't sound the same. Our stage presence is not the same. I just can't see the similarities." ("Nightline")

Nicki Minaj Raps for Romney?

Actor-director Clint Eastwood might have some celebrity company this week with his allegiance toMitt Romney.

Rapper Nicki Minaj appears to endorse Romney's presidential bid in a new rap song out this week.

Minaj recorded the verse in a guest appearance on the track "Mercy" on fellow rapper Lil Wayne's mix tape "Dedication 4," which was released online Monday.

"I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy [expletive] is [expletive] up the economy," Minaj says.

Born Onika Tanya Maraj in Trinidad and Tobago, the multi-racial, hip-hop star was raised in New York City and attended LaGuardia High School for music and the arts.

Her representatives did not respond to numerous ABC News requests for comment about what the lyrics mean or whether Minaj is registered to vote in the United States.

Minaj, 29, took to Twitter earlier this year, venting to the official @BarackObama campaign account about the lack of universal health care after "Moesha" actress Yvette Wilson died of cervical cancer.

"What's sad is that when Yvette was bringing home the bacon, the gov't was probably taking millions. On her deathbed though, #Nowheretobefound," she wrote. "That should be a God given right! Even with Obama Care, too much involved. Just give FREE health care to all. @BarackObama what can we do?"

Rapper Talib Kweli chalked up Minaj's latest political comments as a public relations stunt.

"I doubt Nicki seriously supports Romney," he tweeted. "Her lyrics ain't political. She just wants y'all to talk about her & she winning cuz it's working."

Katy Perry Turns Down $20 Million American Idol Job Offer!

it’s not everyday that someone turns down a $20 million paycheck, but Katy Perry has reportedly done just that.

The Wide Awake singer has snubbed an offer to join Mariah Carey on the American Idoljudging panel, according to multiple media outlets.

Apparently the show’s producers were so keen to get the California Gurl that they offered her $2 million more than Carey who’s the highest paid judge on a TV show in that genre.

If she accepted the offer the heart-stopping sum would have been just for a one-year contract.

But it seems that the 27-year-old Teenage Dream singer, who recently split from lady killer John Mayer, [] has no desire to be on the successful TV show.

American Idol executives are scrambling to fill the judging panel that has several vacancies since Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler announced their departure earlier this summer.

Meanwhile, Randy Jackson -- who has been a judge since the show first aired ten years ago -- has decided to become a mentor instead.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, rapper Nicki Minaj is rumored to be in talks to join the show. So too is Alanis Morissette and pop star Nick Jonas.
