Nicki made headlines recently after going in on her critics who dissed her for canceling performances at the V festival and a concert in Dublin. To be fair, Nicki was advised by her doctors to take off two weeks to rest her vocal chords after she bruised them due to vocal strain. Apparently people aren't sympathetic enough to understand that if a performer doesn't take care of themselves and their health then what good are they to give you 100% on stage.
Here's what Nicki had to say about her less than understanding critics:
I will NOT let you people make me feel horrible for a f*cking HEALTH issue! That’s what got me in this mess! I shldve listened 2 the doctor!
I am so thankful to my true fans who understand WHY I couldn’t play #VFestival & WHY I can’t play Dublin. Absolutely gutted However, if u have anything negative to say to me, please #EatSh*tAndDie – I am human. I was in jeopardy of losing my voice entirely and needing surgery on my vocal chord. If u can’t understand that, your mother’s a WHORE!!!!
I will NOT let you people make me feel horrible for a f*cking HEALTH issue! That’s what got me in this mess! I shldve listened 2 the doctor! Like people are hitting me telling me I shldve mimed. No! Then you woulda made a f*cking STORY out of that too! #killyaf*ckingself
My beloved United Kingdom, u know how much I f*cking love u! Ireland, I truly appreciate you. Barbz, thnku for the well wishes. All you do is rip people apart and when they’re dead & gone u won’t lose a wink of sleep. #goF*ckYourselves
Normally I wouldn't defend Nicki, but I have to agree with her on this. She is one of the biggest (if only) female hip hop acts out right now so she's definitely exhausting herself and when you are shouting your raps and singing every night you need to rest your vocal chords or you may never be able to sing again in life. But then again everytime someone gets mad at you about something you don't have to vent your frustration on Twitter or to Funkmaster Flex when someone says your music is wack. Everything doesn't need an explanation.
Now as for the rumors that she is in the running for one of the vacant seats on American Idol, Us Weekly is reporting that Nicki will be joining the reality show when it returns in January. She lip-synched Starships poorly on AI last season, and personally I don't see how someone who is not necessarily a singer is going to be able to judge potential singers. But then again the same could be said about Paula Abdul and J Lo. The only thing I can see Nicki doing is helping the contestants pick out some clown wardrobe and teach them how to sing the song of the week in a different accent. I've also been hearing rumors that Lenny Kravitz's name is being thrown around and my feeling is if you're not going to pick Adam Lambert, at least offer Lenny the gig. Randy is rumored to be taking a new position as mentor on the show so other names being thrown around to take the other two vacant seats are Pharrell, Nick Jonas, Keith Urban and Enrique Iglesias.
