Lil Wayne is yet to watch his friend Nicki Minaj on American Idol as he isn't into "catfights".

The 'Super Bass' songstress joined the coveted reality show this season alongside Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and returning mentor Randy Jackson.

The series has been rocked by reports of a feud between its new female judges, with spats between Minaj and Carey shown at the audition stages of the new American Idol season.

Wayne has not yet tuned in to watch his friend Minaj on the show, but admits the star hasn't exactly sold it to him either.

He revealed: “Actually, I’ve never watched it. When I talk to her she’s always tells me, ‘You don’t wanna watch that, you’re not going to be into it."

The hip hop superstar added: “She knows me. … It’s kind of like a catfight where they be going back and forth type of thing, I’m not into all that."

Wayne admitted that although he isn't a fan of the TV talent show, he appreciates that it finds some impressive vocalists, adding: "The talent on that is pretty good I heard, though."
