Confirmed: Nicki Minaj Discusses ‘X Factor’ Role With Simon Cowell

Published: Thursday 19th Apr 2012 by David

As Pop’s leading ‘newbie’, Nicki Minaj is landing opportunities not even she could have anticipated in her earlier days.

Scoring a lucrative deal with Pepsi and then becoming the  face of Adidas’ upcoming Jeremy Scott campaign, the pint sized MC has become quite the magnet for brands hoping to cash in on her star power.

So, just when you thought things couldn’t get any better for the Rapper, she has confirmed reports believed to be untrue last year. Reports, which claimed she was offered a judging role on FOX’s ‘X Factor USA‘.

Peep her dish on the deal below…

Hit the 2.30 mark:

    lawd she wants to do everything at once, maybe she’s not as business savvy as she thinks she is

    @VIRTUOSO

    DEAD @Katdelunafan! Bwahaha!

  6. KAT DELUNA FAN April 19, 2012

    I didnt mean to hurt you 😆
    But Bey tried to do everything at once and failed at all of em,so why judge Nicki who is clearly a newbie and not 15 years veteran?

    At least Nicki is getting endorsements,hit single,a perfume etc..While Bey..Ok lemme stop.I still like her

  7. DepHeart April 19, 2012

    Wow that was cray. She was smart for turning down the X-Factor considering she has a world tour on the way. So many different opportunities in such little time. You go Nicki! & I love how she said there is no such thing as luck, God puts you in the path he decides for you. Not a huge fan of her music but this girl is doing it BIG!

    @Katdelunafan Beyonce failed at what? Music? 16 Grammys, had 2 100 million dollar grossing tours? Movies? 2 time Emmy nominated & part of the highest grossing comedy of all time? Clothing line? Profit’s of 100 million. Fragrances? Had the best selling fragrance by a celeb in 2011. Please don’t compare Nicki to Beyonce when it comes to business. Check Forbes, she’s worth more than Britney, Rihanna, Gaga, & so on. 310 million & counting.

    When it comes to album sales they are all ahead of her. Lady GaGa’s Fame outsold all Beyonce’s albums and had more impact than all Beyonce’s songs. Beyonce’s music is crap, but yes, SHE IS THE VOICE!!!
    Umbrella and Poker Face had more impact than all Beyonce’s songs.
    And don’t even mention Single Ladies, that song was a flop outside of USA, it reached #1 only on BB hot #100, but it some countries it didn’t make even top 10 LMAO. Russian Roulette is better than it, deal.

    @CRYSTAL
    That was there,this is now……Beybey aint s*** without Daddy 😆 😉
    Yes dont compare Nicki to Beyonce,she is a rockie.Her era PF:RR is a mess aswell but she is doing her best ,doing it better than Beyonce as far as managing a career goes.

  14. Bey Fan… April 19, 2012

    But Beyonce is still making more money than any of those h***….. so just where did she fail?

  15. KAT DELUNA FAN April 19, 2012

    Making money from what?
    Definely not an album leaked a month ahead of the release date.

    She is living off Jay’s ventures.We know why she is supporting his ugrateful mtfs that much

  17. virtuoso intellect April 19, 2012

    @KAT DELUNA FAN

  18. BitchIcantevenspellwelfare April 19, 2012

  20. KAT DELUNA FAN April 19, 2012

    Nicki is learning …give her a break

  21. RDK April 19, 2012

  26. KAT DELUNA FAN April 19, 2012

    *I am used to it

    Saw the picture at the Graham show,she looks great 😥

  27. SadeMaster April 19, 2012

    @KATHERINE You do realized Bey has sold more albums than Gaga right? So for you to say that The Fame sold more than all her albums is pathetic. I won’t shade Gaga since I stan for her but don’t make dishonest assumptions. Single Ladies was voted the song of the year by Rolling Stones & Time Magazine, she won a VMA & 2 Grammy awards for that song alone. So now you shall DEAL!

  28. Nats April 19, 2012

    Wait isn’t this a Nicki/Kim beef? How the hell is Beyonce brought into this? I absolutely hate it when they bring Bey in Nicki’s post because I absolutely adore them both. Ask me to choose and I can’t. I will stan for them proudly, so please stop the comparisons they are not in the same lane, Bey si a legend and Nic is just starting out. As for Riho-na…no comment.

  29. YOOSONDALOOSE April 20, 2012

    That was a really good interview!

  30. Katherine April 20, 2012

    @SADEMASTER

    H** HUSH!!!
    The Fame has oustold every Beyonce’s album, it has sold Dangerously in Love + 4 combined. It is still selling in some countries. Who cares about that magazines? Single Ladies wasn’t so important, I think Crazy in Love is her best song. 😉

  31. ILOVEKIMANDMINAJ April 20, 2012

    LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY NICKI MY NICKI, SEEMS LIKE SHE ALWAYS JUMPING INTO THIS ROMAN AND MARTHA CHARACTER, LIKE SHE TRYING TO GET A ACTING ROLE, I LOVE NICKI AND EVERYTHING BUT I CAN ONLY SEE HER PLAYING IN A MOVIE LIKE SCARY MOVIE, LIKE WHAT THE WAYANS BROS.

  32. ILOVEKIMANDMINAJ April 20, 2012

    @KAT DELUNA FAN, NICKI MAYBE LEARNING AND BEYONCE IS SHOWING THE WORLD DAT SHE DONT NEED HER DAT, BUT I SERIOUSLY DOUBT NICKI WILL LEAVE CASHMONEY, THEY OWN HER, SHE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH THEM OLD AND GREY, U SEE HOW LONG WAYNE BEEN UNDER CONTRACT WITH CASHMONEY, NICKI ASS AINT GOIN ANYWHERE
