Nicki Minaj on Returning to American Idol: “That’s the Million-Dollar Question”
Posted by Mikey Fresh under Videos[5] Comments

Nicki Minaj recently shed some light into her overall thoughts on her first season as judge of American Idol. Alongside Randy Jackson, Keith Urban and Mariah Carey, Nicki experienced some well reported ups and downs on the show. Though, Nicki says she’s very grateful to the Idol staff for allowing her this opportunity, Minaj isn’t sure if she’ll be returning next season. Earlier this week, veteran judge Randy Jackson announced his departure after 12 years onboard. When it came to address her thoughts on Mariah one more time, Nicki Ryan told Seacrest she still doesn’t understand it.
“Imagine someone that you loved your whole life… Imagine you meeting them and then all of a sudden feeling like you did something horrible to them but you just don’t know what you did,” she told Seacrest. “That’s what my relationship with Mariah is, and that’s what it’s been from the beginning.” she continued. “I just really thought that we were friends, but that’s the other thing I learned that this industry is so fake,” said Nicki. “You walk away thinking people are your friends and they’re not. It’s a couple nice hi and byes and then really, you better not step on nobody’s toes. And God forbid you get a little shine. And God forbid you’re maybe witty or quick on your toes or make someone laugh. Then maybe you’re making another person feel insecure. And you shouldn’t have to dim your light to let another person shine.”

That’s some real stuff Nicki just put out there. Crazy how success brings hate from the people you looked up to. Diddy and Snoop seem like the only big money old heads who don’t hate on anyone on the come up.

Oh please! Nicki… The same energy you put out, you get back! Period! Call it karma nicki! You came out the gate in your mixtape days insulting lil kim & remy ma! Then when lil kim finally responded you made her out to be a psycho. Like you never dissed her & it was a figmant of everyones imagination. No Nicki! Anyone can listen to yo old ish and see how disrespectful & arrogant you always are. You nasty in interviews. Your super entitled. Your completely unoriginal. You blatantly copied lady gaga (another contemporary) wouldnt acknowledge it. Your full of it, and ppl see who you really are!

And mariah & nicki are in the same league. Mariah doesnt have to hate on nicki or any female rappervto come up. Da brat is one of her bestfriends. Lil kim is a good friend. Mariah doesnt have a female rapper problem… She has a nicki minaj problem! Period.
Everyones hating on you nicki!? Really? No! Ppl just dont like YOU! Stop playing the victim. You came in nasty, and you gone leave just as dirty!
