    T-Boz Blasts Nicki Minaj For ‘American Idol’ Gig

    Written by Trent | Filed under Nicki Minaj,T-Boz
    T-Boz Nicki Minaj Max TheLavaLizard

    T-Boz chats with This Is Max

    When Nicki Minaj was first announced as a judge on ‘American Idol’, the news puzzled people across the globe who tune in to watch the show. Now, TLC member T-Boz has stepped forward to share her thoughts about her younger counterparts role on the panel and she is definitely not happy about it.

    “How the hell is she gon’ tell me what I should be doing when her azz can’t even sing?” T-Boz quipped while chatting with This Is Max about the Minaj’s post on ‘Idol’. The rest of her rant was so vicious that it even made me blush so read the rest of it and watch the interview for yourself below:

    “Just because you’re on TV gyrating and boning and sucking penises, it’s not talent, honey. Maybe in the porn industry, but over here, we entertain. I don’t respect half [of] the people I’ve seen lately.

    How the hell is she gon’ tell me what I should be doing when her azz can’t even sing. Why is she there? And then…now they’ve got rappers that don’t even sing judging? So, this is totally based off of popularity I guess. I mean, to each their own. Get your money, honey. All I’m saying is, I will never watch [your] shows again.”

    Perhaps T-Boz simply blasted Minaj to draw attention to herself, thus increasing interest in her ‘Red Planet’ collaboration with Little Mix and TLC’s plans for a new album. Either way, she certainly gave an honest answer and simply stated what we were all thinking. Get your money, honey!

    Thanks Necole Bitchie!

      Ummmm I’m confused? When was T-Boz this world renowned singer that she could talk like that. T-Boz had but 1 note she sang in TLC. Now I could respect this more coming from Chilli. Chilli was a REAL singer. It just sounds like Boz is bitter. I guess going bankrupt and having ur car repossessed doesn’t sit well with her?

          Yes I own all of TLC’s albums. I know her voice. That raspy 1 note she always sang. Chilli was the actual vocalist of the group. So for Boz to say anything about anyone’s voice is beyond preposterous.

      FINALLY someone spoke up and kept it real.

      Nicki better not drag Randy into this when she fires back either. No, Randy can’t sing but he’s a brilliant guitarist and has been in the music industry for 30 years and has worked with legends from Aretha and Mariah to Bob Dylan and Carlos Santana…Nicki can’t sing AND she’s new in the game. she has no business judging the artistry of others!!! I would give her this job in 30 years because even though she still wouldn’t be able to sing (even 30 years of work can’t create something she’ll never have) she’d have been in the industry for so long that she’ll be a competent, qualified judge. But in 2012? NO. She needs to have a seat, sure, just not at that judging table.

      T-Boz I commend you for having the balls!!!

        for example In the french version of American Idol we had Manu Katché as a judge and he couldn’t sing either BUT he was a musician (a v talented one) so yeah that’s where lays the difference : a musician has got more ability to judge a singer than that clown. i totally agree with your comment,

        Singing is not always about BIG powerful range vocals
        its about control as well technique style emotion character and originality which TBoz has all of these
        Nicki has no control no nice characteristics to her voice, its not original its rubbish!!

Maybe if Nicki took notes from T-boz on how to entertain and be original. Maybe her sophomore album would have done better. TLC (unlike Nicki) will never be has beens.

      Everything I wanted to say has pretty much already been said. Come on you guys at the end of the day, Boz only said what everybody except the Barbz & Kens are thinking..Just calling it out like she sees it. Let’s pause & see how Ms.Minaj will choose to disrespect her elders this time.

      And to the “DC3BKM” person, I honestly would like to know : 1) why do you keep coming back to this website?
      2) do you get paid to stan (seriously)?
      3) if so (or not) do you realize your comments are disrespectful or are you here to defend miscellaneous points?
      4) lastly, are you nuts?! <—- (This is also a legit question btw)

      That will be all..

        1) I come back to his site because Trent usually makes valid points about artists.
        2)I got money. U need some?
        3)Funny how my comments are disrespectful, but ya’ll ain’t saying shit about how T-Boz is calling Nicki a penis sucking whore. Ya’ll are really selective about who u call “disrespectful”.
        4) Do u hinestly have nothing better to do than to worry about my mental state?
