Video: Nicki Minaj Is Mean to 'Idol' Contestants Because She Cares

Nicki Minaj has heard what you think of her judging style, and she's got a simple reply for anyone who thinks she's being too mean."When I speak in a blunt way, like I do, people take that as me not loving or caring about these people, but I really do," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "They are family to me. I feel like I'm not doing them a service if I blow smoke up their ass. I refuse to do that."
