Nicki Minaj Shows Up Late to ‘American Idol’ Taping, Blames Traffic
March 14, 2013
American Idol
There’s diva behavior and then there’s Nicki Minaj showing up late to a live taping of “American Idol.” She had a good excuse though… L.A. traffic!
Host Ryan Seacrest kept the energy up, telling the audience to “keep the energy going for three of your four judges” and asking the panel, “Which one of you judges gave Nicki the wrong directions to the studio today?” and “Who drained the fuel from her car?”Despite their ongoing feud, fellow judge Mariah Carey didn’t say a word about the tardy “Pink Friday” singer. When Minaj arrived 13 minutes into the show, she got right to business, even dissing one of Keith Urban’s judgment calls.
The heat should be off Nicki tonight as the show and audience shift attention to special guest Bon Jovi. Ryan told “Extra’s” Terri Seymour before the show, “Bon Jovi was the first concert where I was able to purchase a tour shirt and I bought the Bon Jovi t-shirt that said ‘Slippery When Wet’!”
Seacrest also weighed in on “Idol’s” top competition, “The Voice.” He explained, “They're both great television shows with extremely talented panels. I think that the best we can do is focus on what we can deliver each night.”

I guess showing up late all happens to us one in awhile and Nicki Minaj’s a victim too. I think American Idols getting better as we wind down to the final contestants. Since I mostly watch primetime shows and working the evenings at DISH, means I can’t be at home to watch. I depend on my DISH Hopper DVR to get my shows for me. One thing I’ve always hated is my timer conflicts and tying up all the DVRs at home. The awesome PrimeTime Anytime feature’s the perfect fix since it will record the 4 major networks during primetime hours on one TV. This means I can get all my shows recorded and my family can continue to watch what they want and more issues with my timers on these channels. This feature works perfect and it’s been a great enhancement to our TV enjoyment.
up to I saw the receipt which was of $4994, I didnt believe that my cousin had been actualy erning money parttime on their apple labtop.. there aunt haz done this 4 only 14 months and as of now cleared the depts on there cottage and bought a brand new Subaru Impreza. this is where I went, http://www.jump14.com
Has Idol become the Nicki Minaj hour? We have watched every season and now record it. We fast forward through her comments. Tired of her cutesy nicknames, eye rolling and hair flicking and petting and nasal twang. RUDE and unprofessional doesn't even begin to describe her coming in late to the live show. All she comments on is the contestant's look. I hate to be missing out on some of the incredible talent, but she drives us nuts. She behaves like a 13 year old.
Has American Idol become the Nicki Minaj hour? We have watched AI for all of its seasons. We are taping it this year after seeing the tryouts. Nicki is annoying. Her eye-rolling, cutesy nickname, hair stroking behavior needs to go. It's no longer a can't miss show in our home.
I remember hearing a sermon years ago on the 10 commandments. When The preacher got to "Thou shalt not steal", I was nearly alseep, but then he said something that changed my life. He said that commandment meant more than just taking things from others, it also means taking some one else's TIME as well! Who am I to hold up a wedding, a party, a work shift, or even a TV show? He preached about not being where we should be (on time) was a selfish act and distracts others from the purpose of me being there in the first place. I am ALWAYS on time! LOL* Well, mostly, anyways. I sure do try hard to be on time, and sometimes I show up 30 mins to an hour early so as not to be late.
When my kids were growing up, I used to tell them "if you want to stay out of trouble, don't do things that draw attention". Perhaps Nicki is just now learning these lessons or maybe she has a need for critical attention. Ya know, even bad attention is attention, and she thrives on keeping controversy and attention on herself. I am not watching AI this season, she's just so unpleasant both in her looks as well as her words. Not my kind of person, I hope this is the only season she is on as a judge.
As far as I am concerned Nicki Minaj needs to be fired. Anyone who is in the real world will be at work ahead of time to ensure they are there. If she can't get her "ducks" lined up so she can accomplish this than she should definitely be fired.
If what I believe is true she has managed to be late more than this one occasion. Guess she doesn't need the job and there are performers who rely on the judges to be there for them
Simply put shame on you ... and don't let the door hit on the way out...
When are they going to get that freak Nicki minaj off of IDOL???? SHE IS AN AWFUL HUMAN BEING!!!
I did not watch American Idol this year for the first time ever, I know NOTHING about the season, because I will NOT have to look at that overdone, no reason to be judging, creepy looking THING, she has no reason to be judging, what a joke, sad for American Idol, but I truly enjoyed X Factor, is was awesome, my new show. AI is history for me, a fan from the beginning but not anymore
There are ways and means to get attention. It's a conversation starter, don't you think?
Who's going to fire Nicki for being Nicki?
Leave early - you live in L.A. for God's sakes.
