Nicki Minaj Not Returning To ‘American Idol’

We recently reported that all the ‘American Idol’ judges were getting the axe and now Nicki Minaj will follow Randy Jackson and leave the show after this season.

Us Weekly is exclusively reporting that Nicki will not return to the show next fall.

“It’s safe to say she isn’t coming back to Idol,” an insider tells Us, adding that the “Roman Holiday” rapper will be focusing on her next album, touring, and endorsements. “She’s okay with it. She had a great time but was only going to do one season anyway.”

The show suffered an all-time low rating this season and apparently Nickiand Mariah’s drama wasn’t enough to re-ignite interest in the show that was the darling of Neilsen ratings.
