Nicki Minaj Spotted Leaving NY Hotel, Talks American Idol and New Perfume on The View

We're guessing Nicki Minaj wasn't in a photogenic mood today (September 24) as she was spotted leaving her hotel in New York City. The never shy, fashion savvy rapper, who rocked blue platform heels, blue and white striped pants and a pink blazer, cover her face from the paps as she made her way to ABC’s The View.

Speaking of The View, during her appearance today, Minaj remained silent about her new judge role on American Idol, telling the TV show that “You gotta watch to see," but she did share her feelings about her co-judges.

“It’s going pretty good. You gotta watch to see,” said Minaj. “Who am I closest with so far? I don’t know. I like all of them actually. I look up to all of them in my own way. Of course, I worked with Mariah very early on in my career. I’m really grateful that she gave me that look very early on and she’s really, really funny. I didn’t know Keith, but I kinda knew Randy through the industry and he’s kinda crazy.”

In addition to American Idol, Minaj also spoke candidly about her new perfume line, Pink Friday.

She adds: “As a little girl growing up in Southside Jamaica, Queens if anyone would have told me that I would have my own perfume one day and be able to inspire young, black girls everywhere to go in a Macy’s or a Nordstrom and see their face staring back at them, I would have never believed it.”
