Nicki Minaj canceled two weekend performances at the UK V Festival, further fueling speculation that she is in final negotiations to become an ‘American Idol’ judge.

The “official” reason given was “strained vocal chords” but the real reason is probably tied to her desire to hook up with the long running reality singing competition on FOX.

Minaj hinted earlier this month on Twitter, “Barbz, I now have 2 start the Fall tour a bit later than originally planned. I will now END the tour where I was originally planning 2 BEGIN. When the Barbz find out “why” I’m starting the fall tour a bit later, they will be VERY happy. #secretgang .”

Already signed, sealed and delivered is diva Mariah Carey. Her deal is reportedly worth $18 million.

Nick Jonas recently revealed that he is also negotiating an ‘Idol’ spot.
