Nicki Minaj (@NickiMinaj) Speaks On Joining American Idol

Nicki Minaj is now a judge on American Idol. During the NYC auditions on Sunday, she spoke to MTV about joining reality television’s Supreme Court.

“I don’t think Nas would ever get $8 million for judging someone in a hip-hop competition, you have to be a pop star to acquire that kind of money,” he said. “If you’re not in a pop lane, you’re never going to ever get this kind of exposure or these kind of crossover looks.”
