Though nothing is 100% official yet, US Weekly is reporting that Nicki Minaj will join Mariah Carey at the judges’ table on American Idol this season!
US Weekly says that two separate sources have confirmed that Nicki will in fact be a judge when the show enters its 12th season.
“I’m not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it,” one insider reveals. “A few more slight things to sign off on but it is happening.”
No word on whether or not Nick Jonas is still in the running to be a judge as well, which he confirmed via his Twitter account a few weeks ago.
We will be sure to update you when Fox has made an official announcement. What are your thoughts about Nicki joining Mariah Carey as a judge?
