Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj Attends Fox All-Star Party

Nicki Minaj reported for “Idol” duty during the TCA Winter Press Tour on Tuesday. After attending a Q&A session earlier in the day, the hip-hop diva put on her party dress and headed down to the Fox all-star bash with fellow judges Randy Jackson and Keith Urban. While Mariah Carey was a no-show, a black-haired Nicki made the rounds, mingling with Fox executives and press at the Langham hotel in Pasadena.

“Thank you to the press that came out today, we had a great time,” tweeted an appreciative Nicki.

In an interview with TV Guide, she opened up about her decision to do “Idol.” “I never thought I would do something like this, because I’m from the hip-hop culture, and I thought it was maybe something that would be frowned upon,” she said. “That’s so scary to me, being seen everywhere all the time. I don’t know if I want that.”

She better get used to the added exposure. The new season of “American Idol” kicks off on January 16-17 on Fox.

@QUEEN MINAJ, You think again the only reason why her album sold more than all the men alums was because she is a pop artist who have pop fans , but they mix her up and put her in the hip-hop section when she is obviously POP ….

@KaramelKisses, by numbers do you mean PF:RR selling 1.5 mil worldwide?! best selling rap album of 2012 in U.K/U.S? 5th best selling single of 2012? best first week sales for a re-release? I’m not some excited kid but I think it’s better if you research stats before you put someone down.

I love the look… I’m not one to stifle a persons creativity but it’s nice to see her toned down sometimes. I think maybe her PR team is finally taking the advice I’ve been giving them in my head. LOL

That GRAMMY SNUB “HUMBLED” THAT ASS!
Nicki’s Album sales declined drastically, Poor Single choices, Over the top attitude, TARDINESS ( T & the park, WEBSTER HALL ), Low Concert ( Theatre ) sales… $3.5 million Gross in the U.S IN 22 cities, while Drake pulled in $40million with his “CLUB PARADISE” TOUR. Nicki’s ROMAN PERSONA ULTIMATELY MADE HER LOOK LIKE A SCHIZO-PARANOID JOKE… It was a time when NOBODY STEPPED 2 NICKI ( except Lil Kim), because she was Ferocious on the MIC, now that Claudia Jordan, Stevie Nicks, Sharon Osbourne, Queen Latifah ( she slammed her eloquently on Anderson live), Willie Geist , AND THE QUEEN OF CLASSY SHADE, Mariah Carey W/ her TAG TEAM PARTNER Barbrah Walters.. They reduced “ROMAN” to a “STAGE SIDE-SHOW FREAK”.
