So, what prompted Nikki Minaj to walk off the set of "American Idol"? The feud between Jackson and Minaj started when the 20-year-old singer from Georgia, Summer Cunningham, sung a beautiful country-type rendition of "Lean On Me" and afterward she commented that she did "the whole country thing." Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson all agreed that Cunningham's voice was well suited for country music, but (and here is where things get fiery) Nikki disagreed. Jackson believes that Cunningham should focus primarily on country in her career, but Nikki doesn't think she should put herself in a "box."
Nikki has an important point though, Cunningham shouldn't limit herself, especially so early in her career. After Jackson told Cunningham that he was only trying to help her with his 30 years of experience in the business Minaj fought back and told Randy
"Oh, you’re right. I’m sorry. I can’t help her. Maybe I should just get off the f*cking panel!" Auditions after that were delayed when she stormed off the set.
