Nicki Minaj To Judge ‘Idol’

Nicki Minaj has reportedly signed on to join Mariah Carey as a judge in the next round of “American Idol.”

A rep for the rapper told US Weekly it’s all over but the shouting. She has “a few more slight things to sign off on” but is “100 percent confirmed to judge” the singing contest.

Fox, which hosts the show, declined to comment.

Minaj and Carey replace Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. Longtime judge Randy Jackson may take on a “mentoring” role while Nick Jonas has confirmed he is under consideration for the position, and Charlie Sheen has expressed interest in being a judge.
