A graduate of New York’s LaGuardia School Of Music & Arts, Nicki Minaj has risen to become Pop’s most renown Rapper, scoring more US Hot 100 singles than any other Female MC in chart history.
So, by way of her ever engaging public image, FOX’s ‘American Idol’ enlisted the starlet to sit on their Season 12 panel, perhaps hoping to capitalize on her experiences as a Contemporary act.
However, it seems ‘Check My Resume’ singer T-Boz is far from impressed by Idol’s decision to hire Minaj, questioning her ability to judge fresh talent.
On celebrity talent show judges, she explained:
Just because you’re on TV gyrating and boning and sucking penises, it’s not talent, honey. Maybe in the porn industry, but over here, we entertain. I don’t respect half [of] the people I’ve seen lately.
How the hell is she gon’ tell me what I should be doing when her ass can’t even sing. Why is she there? And then…now they’ve got rappers that don’t even sing judging? So, this is totally based off of popularity I guess. I mean, to each their own. Get your money, honey. All I’m saying is, I will never watch [your] shows.

And someone asked her the question and she answered
There is a video to prove it
T-Boz always tells the truth
In T-Boz, we trust.
The article is stirring shit
I watched the video earlier and that remark had nothing to do with Nicki
I think she was talking about some reality tv stars but she wasn't talking about Nicki fucking her way to the top.
Also, just because you were asked something doesn't mean you have to be a total ass about it but I guess she needs Nicki's name to get in the press for her reality show.
Also the video that was provided was only snippets and pieced together so nobody knows exactly why she said what she said
That said, on The Voice I did notice that Adam's critiques always resonated as coming from a place of true musicianship. He was the only one who could hear when someone was a little off-pitch. Not even Christina could hear that in other singers. idk, these shows are all hack-ish anyway. More people have good voices than we know what to do with. There should be shows for songwriting workshops or guitar lessons or something. Singing is so, so easy.
