Looks like the rumours
of Nicki Minaj joining ‘American Idol‘ may be true. Media sources in the
US says that Minaj and country crooner Keith Urban are close to
finalizing their contracts for the show!
Minaj will reportedly pocket $8 million for
judging Season 12 of the ratings juggernaut, and she has an extra perk:
She gets special allowances for hair, makeup and wardrobe. Imagine all
the wigs we can see her rock! It appears that the potential conflict of
interest of having the Pepsi spokeswoman on a show sponsored by
Coca-Cola have been ironed out.
Urban is expected to take home $3 to $4
million in his deal, ousting fellow country star Brad Paisley from the
running, who requested Minaj’s same pay rate. Urban has some experience
in reality competitions, as he’s a judge on Australia’s ‘The Voice.’
“I’m trying to make an album and it’s strange how these opportunities
all come in one big fell swoop,” Urban said of his flurry of job offers.
Both stars’ salaries pale in comparison to
head diva in charge Mariah Carey‘s. The ‘Triumphant’ singer is bringing
home $18 million of bacon.
