Nicki Minaj is taking a seat at the judges' table.
"American Idol" announced the rapper is one of the new judges for the show's upcoming season. Country star Keith Urban also signed on.
Urban said in a statement, "It's really an honor to have been invited to be part of the 'American Idol' family."
"Idol" producers hired Mariah Carey back in July. The three new faces will join veteran judge Randy Jackson when season 12 debuts.
