Yes, this story is important to some people.
Revamped rapper Nicki Minaj arrived exactly 13 minutes late to the live taping of American Idol Wednesday, saying she was stuck in traffic. That’s understandable in Los Angeles where the traffic ranks as the worst in the nation.
But it is not understandable if you’re a celebrity who gets paid millions to judge a music competition.
Fellow judge Mariah Carey was not amused at Minaj’s tardiness; and Keith Urban sniffed Minaj’s can of Coke as if trying to detect the aroma of drugs.
Outraged Twitter users also got in on the action:
Here’s the link to watch the video. Caution: the video starts automatically.

Nigga chit
I’m sure AI is kicking themselves for even getting her this season…
Thats that BFT working against her…
This is yesterday’s news Miss Sandra. Seeing as no1curr bout this girl, we shole don’t want no late news in her regard.
@ Wut what is BFT?
I saw part of this shyt and changed the channel when she was describing this one girls performance she said some dumb shyt like “I like waffles, buttermilk waffles and I toast them in the morning, I don’t burn them and I use buttermilk syrup and I warm the syrup but just a little and sometimes not enough… that’s how I feel about your performanc…
WHHHHAAAATTTTTHHHHEEEEFFFFFUUUshiigggidy?

I was thinking the same thing! She’s a mess…..in addition to firing her stylist, she needs to fire her publicist too. I was too thru when she said she was going home if they sent Curtis Finch home….you should know that you can’t say things like that…..
@ Naija WORD
Also either they asked Nicki to be the star of the show or she is bum rushing the scene. Either way, she talks waaay more than everyone else and it’s so not cute.
Hmmm….. They’re paying you millions of dollars for your opinions on contestants who are more talented than you are. Unless you were laid up in the ER, your butt should have been at that table with the other judges. She’s the reason why I haven’t watched one episode of Idol this year. They should have stopped the buck at hiring Mariah.

“rapping in the stairwell” Which is how she ALWAYS says Wayne ‘discovered’ her. Yeah, rapping…that’s it. That’s what they are calling it these days.

It is hard to watch. Although, she’s articulate its usually all over the place. I be like OK why 4 Judges..this is DUMB
I think AI is strategically having Nicki do shii that makes her look dumb so they can boost ratings. The Nicki and Mariah beef didn’t help so now they got her talking all extra (cuz if you allow her to talk some dumb issh gonna roll out) and they got her showing up late, etc. The show needs to just end already, it’s becoming super gimmicky
Nicki who?
Why is everyone saying she was 13 minutes late? She arrived 13 minutes into the show. If you’ve ever worked television production, especially a live broadcast, your call time is a good 2 hours before they go on the air.
I thought her butt injections would keep her from a career in Hollywood (her backside will look stupid on the big screen), but her stank attitude isn’t doing her any favours either.
Why is everyone giving Nicki a hard time??? Especially the yt folk. I like the girl. I’m straight but dang ….give the black woman a break!!! And let them yt folk pay a Sista them big bucks!!!!!!!!! Dang!!
