The 'Super Bass' rapstress doesn't deny she
favors the girls than the boys and hints that she's still disappointed that
Curtis Flinch, Jr. was eliminated from the show.
Nicki Minaj didn't appreciate Devin Velez
telling the press that she "went crazy" with her comments on
"American Idol" and saying she didn't want to save him because she
favored the girls more than the boys. Upon hearing of his post-elimination
interview, the judge quickly took to Twitter to let her feelings known.
"Lol. Be mad @ AMERICA when u get sent
home. The JUDGES are the ones who FOUGHT for America to get the opp to VOTE 4
U!!! #memba?" the female rapper wrote to more than 16 million followers on
Twitter. "America r the 'potential' fans...u MUST win them over. 'Saves'
are bulls**t and they know it. Those girls are just too good this year."
Without denying that she opposed saving
Velez, Minaj added, "Send the judges some flowers and a card. If Curtis
didn't get SAVED, NONE of u get saved! Best male voice of the
SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!" The rapper apparently still felt disappointed about her
favorite Curtis Flinch, Jr.'s elimination, where she was threatening to walk
out of the stage.
The outspoken judge continued to chastise the
8th-place finisher, "Trust me BEW BEW. If EYE didn't want u in that TOP,
YOU wldnt have been in that TOP. Fought for ALL of you. So just simply b
gracious." She concluded her messages, "Jennifer Hudson didn't win!!!
Oscar Winner! #memba??? ok. Take that exposure and let your light shine."
Velez reacted to her comments by dissing the
judge over her grammar errors. The 18-year-old aspiring singer from Chicago,
Illinois tweeted, "That moment when an adult stoops down to the 3rd grade
level...LOL grow up Hun, I've got songs to write. :) #movingforward,"
before abruptly deleting it from his timeline.
Velez actually left the show on a high note.
His performance the night before the results show got rave reviews from all the
judges. He sang "It's Impossible" to woo the judges to keep him on
the show, but they decided to let him go. He later said, "I think I know
who didn't want to put me through. She has a lot of girl power. And a lot of
girl thoughts -- maybe she just wants a girl to win."
He also had some choice of words for the
female judge when commenting on her critique about his group performance.
"I agree with the first half of her critique, when she said that it felt
like it was Hollywood week, that it was a joke, that stuff like that should not
happen, that she was going to pretend that she didn't hear it," he said.
"When she went crazy-when she was like 'get off the stage, blah blah blah'
and it's just like 'whoa Miss Minaj, I need you to calm down please.' "
"She could have been upset because the
night before she was wearing the same colored dress as Mariah, or that she was
on time. We never know. But I know that I love her as a judge...It's when she
gets into the exaggerative speaking, where it's just like, 'Ah, take it easy!'
You don't wanna hurt somebody else's feelings," he added.
