Nicki Minaj Admonished Devin Velez, Tells The 'American Idol' Outcast To Be Gracious

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.
