Each week American Idol viewers watch in suspense as contestants are voted off the show and it seems that Idol judge Nicki Minaj is also dishing out a little suspense of her own. According to MTV News, during a conference call this week the rapstress remained very secretive about a possible return to the show for its 13th season.

“Would I come back next season? I think people would rather be surprised,” said Minaj, MTV New reports. “I like to save the mystery and the drama. I’d never give that away. I always say this and I mean it from the bottom of my heart, just that people behind the scenes at Idol have been a dream to work with. I’m just super grateful to have been given the opportunity.”

Minaj further commented on keeping her return a secret by stating that the suspense of not knowing who the judges for an upcoming season of American Idol may be has become somewhat of a tradition for the show and a source of excitement for fans.

“I’d rather not speak about that at this time,” the rapper added. “I feel like I’ve kind of already answered it, but I would rather not even give any insight because I kind of feel like it’s exciting for people to not know who the next season’s judges will be.”
