AMERICAN IDOL Booting Nicki Minaj Due to Attitude Issues?

Things might not be looking good for Ms. Minaj's return to AMERICAN IDOL.

Sources close to the IDOL crew confirmed to Hollywood Life that "the chances of Nicki returning to the show next season are slim to none, she is such a major headache with her behavior and it's really taxing on many people with the crew. So her behavior is wearing thin on many people this season."

The news comes after her infamous feud with fellow judge/diva Mariah Carey, and her inability to be on time.

However, if she is actually a "headache" to producers and execs, Minaj doesn't necessarily realize it. In an interview with BWW TV this week, she said: "I don't have a worst IDOL moment. I've been spectacular. Yes, I'm going to toot my own horn."

For the original report, head on over to Hollywood Life.

Nicki Minaj is a Trinidadian-born American rapper, singer, songwriter and voice actress. Known for her underground mix-tape presence, Minaj garnered the attention of Lil Wayne, who signed her to his record label, Cash Money. She immediately rose to prominence when she released her debut album, "Pink Friday," in November 2010. It quickly became a commercial success, peaking at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA) a month after its release. She simultaneously became the featured "It" girl on a string of high-profile singles from artists such as Madonna, Mariah Carey, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Rihanna, Lil Wayne, Drake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Ludacris, Justin Bieber, Trey Songz and Alicia Keys. Minaj also has become the first female solo artist to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Her seventh single, "Super Bass," has since been certified quadruple-platinum by the RIAA and has sold more than four million copies, becoming one of thebest-selling singles in the United States.

Minaj released her second studio album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," in April 2012, which topped charts internationally, and spawned the Top 10 singles "Starships" and "Pound the Alarm." Since then, the album has sold one million copies worldwide, and has become one of the best-selling albums of 2012, according to Nielsen SoundScan. At the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, she won Best Female Video for "Starships." At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, she won Best Hip-Hop Video for "Super Bass."

Nominated for a 2012 Grammy Award in the category of Best New Artist, Minaj's rapping technique has been hailed by critics for its use of alter-egos, accents (notably, British) and rapid-fire pace. Equally well-known for her unique sense of style, her use of colorful wigs and outlandish costumes ranks her as one of the world's leading fashion icons. Minaj is in the midst of her Pink Friday: RELOADED Tour.
