Nicki Minaj rules out American Idol performance

'Starships' hitmaker Nicki Minaj inists she's not keen on "wearing the performer hat" on American Idol.

The star sits on the hit TV show's judging panel alongside Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson.

Although she respects Urban's decision to perform on the show, Minaj insists she won't be following his lead in a hurry.

Speaking to MTV News she said: "I don't know if I want to wear the performer hat on Idol. I think kudos to Keith for doing it, but I just don't know if I want to wear that hat there."

Minaj also spoke about the calibre of contestants on the hit TV talent show.

She gushed: "All of these kids that are left right now, I don't want to see any one of them go now. To be completely honest, I feel they could all go out and make an album right now and be successful around the world. And also, they put in work, they put in a lot of work and they deserve to be there. I think that's what makes me happy.

She added: "The people we have left deserve to be there."
