The 'Barbie World' singer previously served as a judge on American Idol on season 12 in 2013 alongside Randy Jackson, Keith Urban, and Mariah Carey. Minaj's time on the show was marked by tension with fellow judge Carey.

A leaked clip from the show's auditions showed the 'All Things Go' singer confronting Carey and rumors circulated about Minaj allegedly threatening her which prompted Carey to increase her security, according to ET Online.

"Mariah has been saying little things to jab at Nicki from day one of shooting. Mariah doesn’t think Nicki can sing and doesn’t think she should be judging folks," an 'American Idol' source told People at the time.

Nicki has been taking all of the jabs, but on this particular day she lost it," the insider added. However, Minaj denied these allegations.

Later, Carey revealed in a radio interview that her time with Minaj on the show was like "going to work every day in hell with Satan."

Nicki Minaj says her time on 'American Idol' was a 'great learning experience'

Speaking about her experience on 'American Idol', Minaj said during her appearance on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' that she "wouldn't trade it for the world."

"It was a great learning experience, honestly," she added.

On 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen', she steered clear of controversy when she was asked about the most "overrated" rapper.

"All of the people who don't love rap. They do not understand or love the culture. That's not their passion," Minaj replied.

The question then shifted to the current queen of pop to which Minaj responded, "I don't know. The people who are in the industry now, they've already put in their work, so they're queens in their own right."

When pressed by Cohen about Minaj having her own queen, she said, "No, but there are two women that I have looked up to in the music industry since I've come in it," and named Rihanna and Beyonce.
