Nicki Minaj has hit out at former American Idol judge and Aerosmith star Steven Tyler after he made an apparently remark towards the star on Twitter.
The Aerosmith frontman said about Minaj's new judging role, "These kids, they just got out of a car from the Midwest somewhere and they're in New York City, they're scared to death; you're not going to get the best [out of them]. ...
"If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield!
"Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out, as we did with (last year's 'American Idol' winner) Phillip Phillips. Just saying."
Minaj hit back on her Twitter. She wrote in a series of tweets, "Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven't seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet!
"I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers. I haven't done anything to you. That's a racist comment.
"You assume that I wouldn't have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go fuck yourself and worry about yourself babe."

She then retweeted comments from her fans defending her actions, and added, "LOL lets make him a shirt that says "No Coloreds Allowed" then escort him down 2 Barbara Walters so he can tell how he was threatened w/guns.
"When Steven 1st went on Idol he was ridiculed by his peers & fans alike. Called a sell out. So what does he do? Ridicule the next judge."
