Will Nicki Minaj Be Joining L.A. Reid?

Rumor has it that we may be seeing Nicki Minaj, along side L.A. Reid as a judge on the popular Fox talent show, The X Factor. A source shared with Page Six, “Nicki has a large following and she fits well with the ethos of the show, which plans to usher in a new generation of musical talent. ‘X Factor’ is aiming for a younger audience. Those aged 12 and over can audition, and [the English version has] launched successful artists from other genres of music than pop. This isn’t a done deal yet, but Nicki would be great for the show. She fits the ideal that ‘X Factor’ will be exciting, vibrant and different. And the show would also be great for her career.” Cowell’s rep wouldn’t confirm or deny the rumors.

With L.A. Reid officially announcing his plans for the show, seems like an even more lucrative and strategic move for Minaj. And with that type of star power, this new show may sh*t on American Idol….although there’s definitely room for the both of them.
