Stevie Nicks, who was a coach for the contestants on last season of "American Idol," is now saying she's happy that she's not apart of this season's taping, now that smack-talking Nicki Minaj is there.

64 year-old Nicks, who is currently promoting her new documentary in East Hampton, NY.. told thedaily:

"How dare this little girl!...If I had been Mariah, I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there." 

"I would have killed her in front of all those people and go to jail for it," the former Fleetwood Mac star promised.

Also, Queen Latifah recently weighed in on the Idol judges feud, where she told Anderson Live that Nicki needs to respect her elders.
