NEW YORK — After just a few shows, Nicki Minaj has been fired as a judge on popular reality singing competition “American Idol.” From strange accents to bouts with fellow judge Mariah Carey, producers made the decision after a heated shouting match during the program’s latest stop.
“They just had it,” a source says. “They told her to pack her bags and head over to ‘America’s Got Talent.’”
Minaj made waves in entertainment news when she was first announced as a candidate for judge duties last year. Her flamboyant demeanor and rumored attitude had many thinking she just wouldn’t fit in to a show that’s supposed to about the contestants.
Tensions seemed to be brewing during the first few episodes, as well. As many cite issues between Minaj and Carey to be mutually instigated, those close to the show maintain that it came down to a choice between the two. And Carey’s veteran presence in the music industry seems to have contributed to her staying on rather than being the one to get the boot.
“If you ask me, Mariah is the one with the attitude,” said another source close to the show. “There was definitely a Team Nicki vs. Team Mariah kind of thing going on.”
Though many weren’t sure the pairing was going to last for the season, it appears the stint is even more short-lived than first thought. However, some don’t rule out a comeback for Minaj.
“Watch — I bet they get her back on for Hollywood Week,” said RandyJacksonFan34, a commenter on the popular “Idol” message board Idol Love.


Also, is that all nicki said to the girl with eye shadow??
No.. Before Nicki even said anything about eye shadow she told the contestant that nothing jumped out at her and that theyve seen so much talent that day that it was really good enough.. and that she has to feel like a star.. after nicki gave her an honest opinion and a no, then she made a comment about her eyeshadow…not the other way around. Know what your talking about.
f*ck it just bring back paula and simon please
PEOPLE ITS A LIE SHES STILL ON. BARBS WHO HAVE STAYED WITH HER THANKS YOU DA BEST!!!!!!!!
I believe that Nicki Minaj should be removed from Idol! Don't get me wrong she has some good songs but she shouldn't be judging others on their singing ability. Mariah Carey should remain a judge cuz she been out since the 90's and knows the music industry and can give a lot of feedback to the contestants. And for all you haters on either side where in the world is your music career? Cuz yes you have your opinion but don't judge somebody unless you know you can do better! You can't top Mariah Carey's music career even if you tried! Point blank!
my sentiments EXACTLY
This show is based on people of lesser talent (the audience at home) judging people who are, for lack of a better word, talented (the contestants).
Good thing this message board is Anonymous, because you just made yourself look retarded…
Wow stooping to name calling that's real mature. Grow up. And just an fyi I know idol watch it every once in a while I was just commenting to the Mariah and Nicki blow out! Next time make sure you understand before commenting. Cuz well in fact since you don't understand well never mind cuz I have no need to stoop to your immature level. Have a nice day!
Irrestible … I gave u a thumb up…
But I must add she shouldnt judge any thing…
Her voice is really annoying. And to b honest, my cock looks better then her face.
No plastic surgeries may I add LoL 8==========>
Nicki is rude and classless. Please get rid of her!
first of all, that clown is a joke. what does she know about Voices?? this is not a muppet show. fire the clown. shes just a trend. 4-5 years from now shes no one. no ones gon remember that lady gaga lil kim cheap imitation.

Nicki is a awsome person. I think she should be FIRED because she calls people names.I do not like it.What if somebody did the same thing to you.How would you fell.So why would you do it .I think some of your songs have bad words.Like STUPID H…Other than that your a good person.

She 1 major reason why rap is where it's at right now…
I wonder why nicki doesn't kiss big bird man like daddy…
P.s: rap is pop
Have watched Idol since season 1 but. I"m ready to quit watching all because of this Nicki judge. She has ruined the show!!! She should be FIRED NOW! She brings NOTHING other than stupid outfits and comments and is more interested on how she looks in the mirror every 5 minutes. GET NICKI OUT!
I agree, with your every word. I even wrote the fox network something similar to ur comment.
I can't stand watching the show now. How can Someone that sounds like a squid getting squashed, b a judge of singers?!??
When she sounds like she's talking from out of her nose is disgusting…
I wish Mariah would've slapped her when she had the chance.
how about the old hag come slap you?
Yes, get Nicki and Mariah out. They are both ruining American idol!!
nicki is a bitch she must get OOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTT dude!!!!
Niki is amazing. Her intelligence, insight and honesty are outstanding. She is one big reason why I watch American Idol.
your on crack….she is a no talent azzclown who spends more money on pink hair than the US does on drug prevention
You must have the i.q. Of a nicki fan.
Hey i love nicki minaj am her biggest fan and she should stay in the show and every dumb rude person should love nicki for who she is she is funny, sweet and a loveing ,careing person.
OH PLEEZE ,she is a complete IDIOT,talks like she has mush in her mouth,is rude crude and uncuth.There are a lot more negative things about her but ,thats enough for now..She should never have been a Judge of anything, much less knowing if someone is talented. Wish she would just disappear forever…
Funny sweet and caring?!?? LoL.
Even with that misconception, I still think your a better judge than her.
If nicki minaj jumped off a big building, will her splatter be colorful??!?
I don't think she has enough silicone in her body to break that fall. LoL
who's the Sicky who hired Nicki?
There's no denying Idol is dying
On its last legs; Nicki's the dregs
Her only renown — One stupid clown
She's got no quality
Just me-Me vanity
Sorry to say
Idols going away
This is idols worst year because of Nikki Minaj. Mirah and Keith were the perfect replacement judges. Both are upscale performers with talent. Adding ghetto Nikki Minaj has taken the show down a notch and ruined a perfect panel of judges. Get rid of her !
