Nicki Minaj Reality Show In The Works After 'American Idol' 2013 Season 12 Exit (VIDEO)
Nicki Minaj has reportedly teamed with reality show producer Mona Scott-Young to come up with a new reality show for the rapper.
DiaryofaHollywoodstreetking reports the Starships rapper has signed on with the co-creator of the Love & Hip-Hop television franchise "to stay in the spotlight."
The insider said because the Queens-bred rapper hasn't released new music since her appearance on American Idol, so she wants to land a new television deal to "before the teenagers forget about her."
"Nicki's music career is in the toilet ... so you better believe she's gonna do what she has to so she doesn't become a has-been," the source told the urban blog.
The source said Minaj will likely follow in R & B singer K Michelle's footsteps to land her own show. The insider suggested there were secret deals made between K Michelle and Scott-Young to get her own Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta spinoff.
"The industry knows all about what K Michelle did to become Mona's number one babygirl ... so Nicki will probably be given the 'serve up extras' ultimatum to stay on Mona's good side ... 'cause it ain't pretty when you're on her sh-t list," said the source.
"Nicki Minaj is really an actress. She loved her gig on A.I., and even her E! reality spots," said the insider who referred to Minaj's 2012 E! reality show My Truth and her judging gig at American Idol.

The Queen native and Scott-Young teamed up earlier this year to launch the Myx Fusions Moscato wine brand. Minaj has featured several bottles of her Myx Fusions Moscato in music videos for her High School single and Lil Wayne's Up In Flames. She mentioned the brand in Ciara's I'm Out single as well.
"If I'm sippin in the club, Myx Moscato," she raps.
The 30-year-old told Forbes in a report published on July 15 that she was offered partnerships with liquor brands before, but she chose Myx Fusions because she "really enjoyed the taste of it."
MInaj has been hard at work promoting the recent release of her latest fragrance, Minajesty, and her clothing line arrived in K Mart which also arrived in stores earlier this month. She taped a segment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, which will air Friday (Sept. 27.) Host Ellen DeGeneres will premiere the commercial for Minaj's latest scent when it airs on Friday.
