The rumors are true, Nicki Minaj will not return for next season's American Idol. What's not true are the rumors the the Young Money rapper was ready to ditch the reality show. Asked by E!'s Ryan Seacrest if she would return for the thirteenth season, Minaj gave an unclear answer.
"That's a million-dollar question," she laughs. "I have to say this all the time, but I want people to know it's genuinely from my heart. I love the people on Idol. I genuinely do. If I had to do this all over again, I would have done Idol. Because it's fun, it's laughs. It's kind of sad that what people read all the time is only when something is negative. But they don't realize that we built a family. I feel happy here and I have to thank them for giving me this chance. They could have picked anyone in the world. And they picked me. So that's all I'll say about that."
There you have it!

With speculation swirling around her sudden departure, Nicki took to Twitter last week to set the record straight.
In a series of tweets addressed directly to fans, Nicki explained that she had simply outgrown American Idol and was ready for new opportunities outside of network television. She thanked everyone who supported her during her time on the show and promised them all something special before signing off with an upbeat message: “Don’t forget – I still love ya! #TheKingdom.” So there you have it – despite some initial confusion over her decision not to return, it looks like this isn’t goodbye forever for Nicki Minaj and American Idol fans alike.

Conclusion
I was devastated when I heard the news that Nicki Minaj wouldn’t be returning to American Idol. She had been such an incredible presence on the show, and her energy really brought something special to it. It’s a big loss for the show without her there.
Her statement about departing from the show certainly clarified things; she wanted to focus more time on her music career and move away from judging full-time. Though many fans may not have liked this decision, you can still respect what motivated it.
Nicki Minaj will no doubt continue making great music in the future, and we’ll all be eagerly awaiting new releases from her. Ultimately, even though she won’t be part of American Idol anymore, I’m sure everyone will remember how much fun she made the show while she was a judge.
