NICKI Minaj has revealed why she joined American Idol.

The singer says she became a judge on the TV talent show because Idol is a “credible brand”.

Minaj — who will sit on the panel alongside Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson and Keith Urban on the panel — claims she had offers from other singing and reality shows but
went for Idol as it has so much history.

“This is such a credible brand. It’s really serious, it’s real deal it’s not anything else other than really looking for talent. If I can be a part of that I’m really down for it,” she said.

“I remember watching American Idol in the first season and feeling inspired.

“I spoke to Jordin Sparks the other day and here she is starring in a movie ['Sparkle'] and I said to her, ‘I remember watching you and picking up my phone’.

“I didn’t vote for her because my brother liked the other guy, but I told her that, ‘You know you’re a part of history, kind of. Because I remember calling and seeing your face and being inspired and hearing your story.’ “
