Nicki Minaj has extended her beef with Mariah Carey to Barbara Walters, according to the Huffington Post. After the tensions between the two American Idol judges led to a confrontation last month, Walters described Minaj as "unpredictable" on The View. In part two of the E! special Nicki Minaj: My Truth last night, Minaj revealed she was hurt by the comments and says Walters never reached out to her.

"Am I not good enough for you to get my side? . . . If I was J. Lo, you woulda called J. Lo's camp," said Minaj, referring to previous Idol judge Jennifer Lopez. "I'm only good enough for you to tell people that I’m unpredictable when you don't fucking know me!"

Following Walters' comments last month, Minaj tweeted, "Barbara walters didn't reach out from our team barbz. I guess we're too dangerous. Don't shake if u don't wannA get shook!!!! LmAooooooooooo." Walters countered that she had indeed reached out to Minaj. Part three of Nicki Minaj: My Truth airs November 17th.

“V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.”

Fishbone | 1985

Quite a few musicians have utilized initials for song titles -- Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T.," Abba's "S.O.S.," Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y.," etc. But the more curiously initialed tune has to be "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.," short for "Voyage to the Land of the Freeze-Dried Godzilla Farts." Fishbone's original guitarist, Kendall Jones, explained to Rolling Stone, "When Norwood [Fisher] wrote it, he introduced it to the band saying, 'Man, I've been hearing about all these Nazi right-wing groups on the news saying the Holocaust was staged. So what if America said it never dropped two atom bombs on Japan, that it was actually Godzilla popping a couple off?' Only Norwood would come up with something that out." The same year "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F." was released, the film Godzilla 1985 appeared in North America.
