Steven Tyler Apologizes For Nicki Minaj Remarks

Published: Wednesday 28th Nov 2012 by David

Aerosmith megastar Steven Tyler made headlines days ago when he slammed ‘American Idol’ judge Nicki Minaj on what he suggested were her ‘lack luster’ judging skills.

Confusing much of the Rapper’s fan base, considering the fact Tyler is not believed to have seen Minaj’s judging skills, his remarks sparked a fiery response from the performer on the social networking site Twitter.

Now, after being branded a racist by the star, today has seen him apologize to her.

Details below…

Taking to Canada’s eTalk entertainment show, Tyler issued the following:

“I apologize if it was taken wrong, Nicki. But I am the farthest from [being a racist]. I am the last thing on this planet as far as being a racist. I don’t know where she got that out of me saying I’m not sure how she would’ve judged Bob Dylan.”

His apology arrives two months before the MC’s season on ‘Idol’ kicks off January 16th, and hours after she watched her new EP ‘The Re-Up’ force her sophomore LP, ‘Roman Reloaded’ 79 spots up the Billboard 200, in a single week.

Peep a preview of her ‘Idol’ stint below:

    She is one of the biggest grief-leechers in the game along with Chris Brown.
    Rihanna is attention seeking aswell, but atleast she doesnt want sympathy!

    • Trev November 28, 2012

      she is not looking for attention, she doesn’t have to

      Tyler was not asked about Nicki, he just decided to comment for no reason…also people are twisting this…she isn’t saying he was racist because of the “cornfield” comment..she was saying that because he doesn’t think Nicki would like Bob Dylan…seeing as though he does not know Nicki the only thing he has to based this off of is her being black, a rapper, and current….and that’s exactly what it is…i think Nicki used the wrong word though…”stereotypical” would have been a better choice

  7. theman November 28, 2012

    She just shouldn’t be there altogether. She is really delusional, she’s only their because of her gimmicks. She’s funny to look at, otherwise she is a bust. The producers didn’t want her for talent. She has been ghettofying every damn thing. It’s good to see that he didn’t do a complete u turn though.

  8. Monstarebel (THE UNAPOLOGETIC PRINCE) November 28, 2012

    Bahahahahahahahahaha Nicki stay having these mutha fuckas retract their statements…..Yaaas queen…

    • truth(chile i DRAAAAGGGS funky nicki stans hun-TAE to save them from her) November 28, 2012

      don’t make me slay u

  9. MC November 28, 2012

    What he said was not a racist comment, he was one of the very few people that embraced Hip-Hop even though back then it wasn’t by mainstream media, and doesn’t he have a half-black kid too? Bob Dylan was born in a rural/country side of Minnesota I believe so what Tyler meant was she (Nicki) would have sent him back to his cornfield (means of production in this area) instead of great lengths that him and his fellow judges would have sent him. I fail to see the racism……I would get it if he said COTTON-FIELD but not cornfield. Btw, he didn’t apologize per say, he clarified his point which is he of all people (considering he is one of the most open people…) would be considered “racist”.

    • S****** Blonde November 28, 2012

      Exactly.

  10. prettigurlrockD bitchess November 28, 2012

    I think she was being a bit silly and overdramatic. I can understand her flipping out on MC cuz she was patient with her several times before she had enough of her shade but this just takes the cake. He apologized to for her taking what he said the wrong way but didn’t take back what he said like T BOZ scary ass. What he said wasn’t racist at all. Anyway, I’m not gonna judge her on what she has to bring to the tabel cuz I haven’t watched it yet but the promo looks promising. She needs to learn to just ignore ppl like she did with lil kim instead of lashing out. Ppl are always gonna talk reckless. She’s getting the gaup tho.

    • prettigurlrockD bitchess November 28, 2012

      *panel

    • MC November 28, 2012

      “I can understand her flipping out on MC cuz she was patient with her several times before she had enough of her shade….” you know this because….? If anything you know little about this because Nicki has always been impatient and very snappy with ANYONE that has something negative to say about her, hence why she told people on twitter to “suck a d***”, “Your mother is a w****”, “eat s*** and die”, etc for criticizing her lack of performance on her UK tour? She even attack Da Brat based on what a fake account said about her without checking if its true or not she insulted Da Brat. Come on now, lets call a thing a thing. Mariah is a shady person but stop trying to make Nicki into some sort of victim because Nicki is an almost 30 years old GROWN woman who SHOULD know how to behave in a professional environment.

      • truth(chile i DRAAAAGGGS funky nicki stans hun-TAE to save them from her) November 28, 2012

        sam reaching here

      • FAF November 28, 2012

        @MC she knows that because Mariah has history

        1) Jlo
        2)XTINA
        3)WHITNEY

        and then sat up there & cried on BET talking about “I MISS MY FRIEND” w/ them fake ass tears !

        H** have a seat !
        BB winans already done said Whitney tried to shake Mariah’s hand in the early 90s & was declined with a nasty attitude !

        EVERYONE KNOWS MARIAH IS A B**** ! WE JUST PUT UP WITH IT b/c she has a voice !

      • MC November 28, 2012

        @Flaming ass f**, you are so mentally changed.

        1. All Mariah said about J-Ho was “I don’t know her” and that was it, they have never exchanged any words so there was no feud, plus J-Ho was Tommy’s litle spawn and together they stole Mariah’s song that she was planing on putting on her album back then. Lie #1
        2. Xtina has always been a stan name dropping Mariah since her debut album as who she wanted to shape her career as (her words not mine) etc….it was no surprise when she dissed Mariah on her interview with GQ where she said “Mariah was never cool with me…” then Mariah came out with a statement saying “Christina came to my party uninvited and acted questionably……I am in a good place in my life and I hope that Christina is too, I wish her all the best.” There have been no other words from Mariah in regards to Xtina while Xtina mentions her at least once a month. Lie #2
        3. Whitney and Mariah were friends and there was NO FEUD as both of them has denied it. Mariah and Whitney hanged out together last year as friends do. Huge lie #3

        “and then sat up there & cried on BET talking about “I MISS MY FRIEND” w/ them fake ass tears ! ” proof that indicated they weren’t friends. Fake, you mean like your faves eyes, b***, boobs, hair, eyelashes, album certifications, voice, etc….?

        “BB winans already done said Whitney tried to shake Mariah’s hand in the early 90s & was declined with a nasty attitude !” Really now? Funny considering WHITNEY herself denied such a thing and said they were pitted against by the media.

        “EVERYONE KNOWS MARIAH IS A B**** ! WE JUST PUT UP WITH IT b/c she has a voice !”

        Oh why so salty? Like we all know your fave is a fake, retarded, untalented, “racist”-wolf crier, grief leech, multiple personality disordered, implosive h**? “It’s like that y’all!” LOL MADE that Mimi’s 18 years old Christmas album OUTSOLD the Re-Flop? Like I said this is the 4516326 legends that Nicki has gotten in a fight with in her 2 years career. Deal with it darling! ~Muah *kisses*

  11. dstrock November 28, 2012

    Except that wasn’t really an apology…

    • truth(chile i DRAAAAGGGS funky nicki stans hun-TAE to save them from her) November 28, 2012

    • FAF November 28, 2012

      I’m sure u analyzed it ur FLOP idol kim can’t get the owner of Paypal to apologize for exposing her fraud ass !

  13. Mark November 28, 2012

    I don’t see what’s so racist about telling someone they can’t judge, but hey, She’s the Queen of Fools/Clowns. Only thing more dumb is her fans.

  14. Jay November 28, 2012

    I don’t see where she called him, directly, a racist. She said he made a racist comment & technically, that’s not calling somebody racist. But, okay..

    • FAF November 28, 2012

      Yup & then she read Barbara walters old ass for siding w/ Mariah with no proof or evidence !KI!

      Y’all will deal !

      • theman November 28, 2012

        She ain’t do nothing, but act like the untamed hoodrat that she is.

  15. Outspoken November 28, 2012

    He apologized for her taking it WRONG but he was not sending her apology for what he said. TGJ step your journalism up.

  16. Steph November 28, 2012
