The 30-year-old singer, who is currently judging &#39;American Idol&#39;, is known for her harsh comments to the hopefuls in the show, reported Contactmusic.u00a0 <img alt="Nicki Minaj" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jan/Nicki.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 661px;" /> &quot;I know that sometimes when I speak in a really blunt way like I do, people take that as me not loving and caring about these people. But I really do, I feel like they&#39;re family to me. But I feel like I&#39;m not doing them a service if I blow smoke up their ass, and I just refuse to do that,&quot; she said. Minaj said it does upset her when some of the contestants are eliminated. &quot;I mean, when I see someone come from nothing, and their family just lost everything in Hurricane Katrina, and they had to rebuild ... I remember my own childhood, and I remember how many children are out there suffering now ... Burnell, not only did he have such a beautiful story, but he had such a unique voice and unique spirit. So yeah, those tears were real for Burnell.&quot; u00a0
