Although a report earlier today seemed to confirm that Nicki Minaj will be a judge on the next season of 'American Idol,' the YMCMB star has yet to give the final word. Still, fans already have their opinions on Nicki's potential new gig.

'This is cool!!' wrote MTV News reader William Osmar. 'I love you Nicki Minaj!!'

'Yes she should!!!! She is awesome!' added Arianna Parsons. 'Best female rapper! Bet she can beat you in a rapping contest!'

Fellow fan Chelsea Reyna summarized the news in four words (and one emoticon): 'This would be epic'
Not everyone is 100 percent sold on the idea, though. 'She's alright I guess,' Zac Olsen commented.

'Like her music, but I don't think she should be a judge,' Alekz Estrada added.

Andrea Kenyon was one of several 'Idol' fans who said they'd check out if Minaj joined the show. 'I hope not,' Kenyon said. 'I won't be watching anymore if she becomes a judge.'

A few fans who were less-than-excited about the news offered their own constructive suggestions for other artists the show should consider hiring over Minaj.

'How about Wiz Khalifa?' Jacob Smith suggested.

'I would go for Lil Kim being a judge b4 [Nicki],' Marlon Moore added.

    Birdman Talks Rumored Drake Fallout, Nicki Minaj's Birthday, Lil Wayne's Skating Obsession & More

    Many were introduced to Drake as a Young Money signee, but his presence has grown exponentially since getting picked up by the label. In fact, the OVO rapper has come to a point where he's doing the biggest numbers of any Cash Money artist, and his new superstardom, as well as the absence of Cash Money features on his latest project, have brought about rumors of a rift between Drizzy and his label.

    In an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, Birdman, otherwise known as Cash Money's co-founder cleared the air on the rumors, explaining that Drake's loyalty has not dwindled in the slightest.

    'Drake was a fan before a friend [with Cash Money] and maybe we put the most on the table but that was my thing,' said Baby. 'I thought he was a very talented young man so we saw a future with him and we wanted him to be comfortable, but at the end of the day Drake made the decision of where he wanted to be.'

    The Cash Money boss stressed that the rumors are not to be taken seriously. 'Drake is my little brother, I love him man and don't believe everything you hear,' he said. 'Drake down with the team for life. I got nothing but love for Drake and the whole OVO camp, that's family forever.'

    According to Birdman, Drake's accesnion into his own lane was always encouraged. 'We support their emergence and [Drake has] the Nike, Toronto Raptors deals, it's about you deve

    Singer expected to join Mariah Carey on panel of US reality TV show, according to reports


    Nicki Minaj is set to appear as a judge on the next season of American Idol. The rapper and singer, who released her second album this year, is expected to join Mariah Carey on the hit TV series' judging panel.

    While neither Minaj nor American Idol have confirmed the report, sources tell Us Weekly she has signed up for the show's 12th season. 'She is definitely doing it,' according to one insider. '[She is] 100% confirmed to judge,' said another.

    Although American Idol was for years the top reality TV singing competition in the US, the show has struggled in the ratings. Facing competition from The Voice and Simon Cowell's The X Factor, which launched in the US last year, American Idol hired Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler for its latest season. Those singers helped crown Idol's 11th winner, singer-songwriter Phillip Phillips, but announced this summer that they would not return in 2013.

    If history is any precedent, Carey and Minaj will have at least one more colleague on the American Idol panel. With rumours that longtime judge Randy Jackson will be moved to a mentoring role, Pharrell Williams, Pink and the youngest Jonas Brother, Nick, are all reportedly under consideration. 'You've got to create a panel that gels,' producer Nigel Lythgoe told E! News. 'A panel

    The Super Bass singer is reportedly close to signing a deal to join Mariah Carey on the judging panel of the US talent show.

    One insider said: 'I'm not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it. A few more slight things to sign off on but it is happening.'

    A second source added to Us Weekly magazine: 'She is 100% confirmed to judge American Idol.'

    If she does join the show, Minaj – born Onika Tanya Maraj – will sit alongside Carey on the panel, after the five-times Grammy-winning signer was announced as a judge last month.

    The singer reportedly signed an $18 million deal to join the show, following the departures of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.

    Carey said of her role: 'As a singer, songwriter and producer, it's going to be fun and rewarding to help find new talent and give back to American Idol.

    'I'm currently in the studio working on my new album and its first single, 'Triumphant', which will be out early next month. I can't wait to channel my creative energy as a part of this show which is a massive global phenomenon.'

    Nick Jonas is reportedly in the running to complete the line-up as original judge Randy Jackson is set to come off the panel and be given a job as a mentor to the contestants.
