Check out the official behind the scenes video for Waka Flocka’s “Get Low” video featuring Nicki Minaj, Tyga and Flo Rida. The OFFICIAL VIDEO premieres THIS FRIDAY, August 31 on 106 & Park [6pm EST]

Following a story in The Hollywood Reporter on Friday that Nicki Minaj was a strong candidate to join Mariah Carey behind the judges’ table on “American Idol,” Us Weekly reported that it’s a done deal.

Two sources told Us Weekly that Minaj will get the job, with an insider telling the magazine, “I’m not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it. A few more slight things to sign off on but it is happening.” Another source told the magazine that the rapper is “100 percent confirmed to judge ‘American Idol.’”

So far, Fox has yet to comment on the report.

The Hollywood Reporter initially said Minaj might have a problem landing the “American Idol” job because she has an endorsement deal with Pepsi, and “Idol” is sponsored by Coke.

Nicki Minaj’s transformation from hustling Queens rapper to international pop star has been astounding to watch over the past couple of years, and this week, the YMCMB rapper got to honor the artist she credits most for influencing her at an early age.

Minaj brought Foxy Brown to the stage in New York City this week, calling her “one of my biggest influences in the game.”

Foxy joined Nicki Minaj about an hour into her Tuesday night set at Roseland Ballroom, and she wasted no time telling her fellow Trinidad native that she was “ahead of her time” when she dropped her third solo album, 2001′s Broken Silence. “I really wanna thank you for being one of my biggest influences in the game,” Nicki said onstage, later admitting that the moment was equally special for her and Foxy.

“I never really told Foxy how much she has influenced me and how much she changed my life, and you’ve gotta tell people that when they’re alive to even be able to take the compliment, instead of paying tribute to them when they’re no longer here,” Nicki explained, in a very honest moment. “I never really knew how she felt about me — in the industry, with women, you kinda just tread lightly — and I’m glad I was able to finally come out and say: ‘You were the most influential female rapper to me.‘ “
