Nicki Minaj had a problem with recent words from multi- platinum selling lead singer of Aerosmith, Steven Tyler, and she spoke her mind via twitter...calling Tyler a racist. Read Steven Tyler's initial comment on Nicki's below-
"You just have to give your opinion. It wasn't hard for me, but I would imagine it's hard for some people, and they need a manager to say 'Shut the f--- up, and just give them your opinion,' " Tyler said. "These kids, they just got out of a car from the Midwest somewhere and they're in New York City, they're scared to death; you're not going to get the best [out of them]. ... If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield! Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out, as we did with ['American Idol' winner] Phillip Phillips. Just saying." (MTV)
Nicki is currently a judge on American Idol TV show, and Tyler was just commenting on her judging skills. I guess Tyler is not the only one that has a problem with Nicki judging a talent show...Mariah Carey also wasn't cool with the idea. Anyway, read some of Nicki's tweets concerning Steven Tyler's comment.
"Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven't seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet!," Nicki tweeted November 26th.
"I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers. I haven't done anything to you. That's a racist comment"
"You assume that I wouldn't have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go f*ck yourself and worry about yourself babe."
"LOL lets make him a shirt that says "No Coloreds Allowed" then escort him down 2 Barbara Walters so he can tell how he was threatened w/guns"
"When Steven 1st went on Idol he was ridiculed by his peers & fans alike. Called a sell out. So what does he do? Ridicule the next judge." (Nicki Minaj's Twitter)
Why did she have to pull the race card? She did that for effect, and to act like the victim, and then spoke so unprofessional, and ignorant. Just for the record, Steven Tyler was featured on a Run- D.M.C track back in 1986. If Tyler was criticizing Nicki for a know-how as a judge, it is definitely based on her talent as a singer and judge, and not cos of her skin colour. And for her to tell a 40 year "go fuck yourself" is very unprofessional and rude. I think the success level she has attained is really getting to her.
Below is Steven Tyler's response to her multiple tweets-
"I apologize if it was taken wrong, Nicki," Tyler said in an interview. "I am the last thing on this planet as far as being a racist. I don't know where she got that out of me saying I'm not sure how she would have judged Bob Dylan. ... Maybe I spoke out of turn -- but a racist I'm not, Nicki." (eTalk)
