Nicki Minaj Officially New "American Idol" Judge

After much deliberation and contractual issues involving her deal with Pepsi and the American Idol sponsor Coca-Cola, Nicki Minaj has finally and officially signed a contract with the talent show to become a judge for the upcoming season, joining the likes of Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson, and Keith Urban. American Idol host Ryan Seacrest posted a picture on his Instagram of himself standing with Minaj, Jackson, and Carey, along with other Idol staff members with a caption that read:

"It's official, your new #IdolJudges are @MariahCarey, @NickiMinaj, @KeithUrban & @Yo_RandyJackson!"

This new season of American Idol should be really interesting. Let's see if Nicki will bring her multiple personalities with her to the judges' panel.

Don't understand how this chic is a judge. She can't even sing. How is she going to judge how good someone else is?

How is this bitch suppose to be a judge, really?! Yes she is a famous rapper and all but how does she want to judge if someone can sing or not when she's not even a good singer herself?! This is way out off hand...let people do the job that actually deserve to be judges and no half ass people who just got to be judges cuz they are famous for now...

All I got to say is that its not about talent or how much time you put in your craft to get where you are longevity in the new generation must not matter, Nikki Minaj is a ok rapper and entertainer often tried to be a Lil Kim Lady Gaga of rap and out due everyone in the game dressing weird and what not which is artistic in a sense, I can not knock that but seriously she has been in the game how long how many records she made and has she been all over the world? I mean I know she goes on world tours now in days but she just got put on and blew up recently, its not like she been in the game for awhile and has been making a impact since she been rapping, DVD game got her on and then Young Money groomed her and invested in her to get where she is at so this game is all about money no talent you can be weirdos with no mission just about money and you on? This World is going dow the drain for real !!!!!
