Nicki Minaj is close to joining Mariah Carey on the “American Idol” judges panel, according to multiple reports.

The singer-rapper is said to nearing a deal for the show’s upcoming 12th season.

At this point, nothing is official.

It’s also still unclear whether veteran judge Randy Jackson would sit alongside them, or if a fourth judge will be added to the mix.

Carey’s participation was announced in July, and earlier this month, Nick Jonas confirmed he’s also “being considered” to join the music competition.

The show also recently announced several changes to its audition process.

Gossip Cop will update if and when Minaj’s role becomes official.

What do you think of Minaj potentially joining the show?

    I was going to wait and see who they were going to add to the mix before deciding to not watch, but if they add this NO TALENT having chick to the show I will NEVER watch it again!! What the hell is AI thinking?

  • Disinterested and proud.

    Well that’s the end of American Idol as a show…Nothing like hiring a talentless clown,at least that is the way she dresses, to judge the quality of talent in a bunch of mostly talentless individuals…..perfect!

  • Pete

    She is horrible and annoying. Bad move. No interest what so ever in watching any of next season. Well this will help the voice out a bit.

  • Regina1180

    Is she going to give all of her critiques in autotune?

  • Claire

    HELP!!! Sending out an SOS to American Idol…are you serious? NO WAY!

    American Idol is the one show of it’s kind that had the means to maintain viewership from older Americans and middle America (rednecks, y’all), and what do they do? Mariah Carey and some English rapper with no talent. I am not watching. I lost all respect for Mariah when she started taking her clothes off and felt the need to “feature” rappers in every song she does (which all sound the same now). As to Ms. Mange…minage… me…eh whatever. When she has been around longer than a minute, can take off the mic (and the autotune) and sing something acoustic, maybe then, but I doubt it.

    That is awesome! Thanks for the giggle.

    Nothing against Nikci Minaj, but what does she even have to offer as a judge? Don’t you at least have to be a good singer(or be a producer) to judge a singing competition? She’s not a bad rapper, but she’s not a singer nor a legendary producer/manager/someone who has been int he industry more than 15 minutes. I get that they’re trying to gain ratings, but I’d prefer Nick Jonas only because he knows music. I think they need to replace Randy with someone else, adding a fourth judge didn’t do good for them before so why do it now? So with that said, I will only watch for Mariah Carey.

    Hahaha Thanks for the laugh :)

    Why her??? They should have chosen Nick Jonas instead.

  • Luvmycockers

    Big mistake AI, hope you’re only handing out one-year contracts, if you sign this no-talent whack job you won’t be around for longer than that. Too bad, the competitors deserve to be judged by talented people, not attention whores.

  • Arroha

    AI has hit rock bottom if they allow that clown (literally… she looks like a clown) to judge it.
