Nicki Minaj a judge on American Idol

The "American Idol" judges' panel is now complete with the naming of singer-rapper Nicki Minaj and country crooner Keith Urban.

Minaj is getting $12 million for a one-year deal on the hit Fox singing series.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to publicly discuss the deal.

Ryan Seacrest will remain as host when the show returns for its 12th season in January.

The makeup of the panel has been in flux since Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez announced their exits in July. Carey signed on later that month.
