Nick Cannon savagely blasted Nicki Minaj in the April 27 episode of "The Wendy Williams Show". The former "America's Got Talent" host dissed Minaj's voluptuous booty, saying that he didn't want to have sex with the "Anaconda" hitmaker after "the booty drop." Though his remark shocked Minaj's fans, he still earned some major points from his ex-wife, Mariah Carey, who reportedly was pretty pleased that he totally shaded her longtime nemesis.

"Hearing him blast Nicki on 'Wendy' was music to Mimi's ears and made her fall back in love with him all over again," a source told HollywoodLife.com. "He's always had her back." Citing the source, the webloid further asserted that Cannon "has been the best man she's ever had in her life and she knows she blew the best thing she's ever had."

Instead of being angry with Cannon's shade, Minaj laughed off the diss as she thought he "secretly wants to have sex with her." "Nicki [Minaj] is laughing at Nick Cannon's diss about her butt. She thinks Nick is ridiculous," a source told the webloid. "Nicki has been busy in the studio with her new album and she is already at work writing some new lines to throw shade back at Nick."

"Nicki is confident with her body, knows she is sexy and feels like Nick wishes he had a chance with her. He doesn't," the source continued, before adding that the Trinidadian-born raptress "is determined to have the last laugh and word on Nick Cannon."
