Nicki Minaj Is Leaving American Idol, Too

In news that is not particularly surprising but still caused me to make a little sad “Oh” noise: Nicki Minaj is officially departing from American Idol after one long, weird season as a judge on the show; she follows in the footsteps of Mariah Carey, who took to Twitter (well, her publicist did, and then she retweeted it, because we live in the future) last night to announce that she, too, was leaving the show.

Nicki’s tweet seemed like it was probably, y’know, her.

As she wrote:

“Time to focus on the music.” Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt?
