Stevie Nicks says she knows exactly what she'd do if Nicki Minaj threatened her as the rapper did to diva Mariah Carey during a recent taping of American Idol. Nicks tells The Daily, "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 had to go to jail for it."

Apparently Nicks has thought better about her comments, as she told the New York Daily News this afternoon, "I want to apologize for my remarks about Nicki Minaj's behavior toward Mariah Carey which I said during a long and exhausting day of interviews. It was very out of character for me and I deeply regret what I said. I feel very protective toward Mariah Carey who has gone through many difficulties in her life and I spoke without thinking. I think all artists should be respectful toward one another and that includes me. I am truly sorry."
