With American Idol ratings hitting an all-time low, could their possibly be a comeback for one time judge Nicki Minaj?

Probably not, but the judge has only the nicest things to say about her time on the show.

 "I think that overall [American Idol] is such a great platform for people who need a voice, and who just need somebody to hear them and so I wish them the best," she tells E! News exclusively at the premiere of her new movie The Other Woman.

When talking about her season compared to the new season she doesn't know what could have caused the drop in ratings. She does say that the talent was insane during her season, and that the drama between the judges might have drawn some viewers to tune in.

 "It was a very dynamic season. Not just from us being crazy as judges but the contestants! I mean I've been listening to Angie Miller all day and I'm not lying. I had my whole glam team listen to her single "You Set Me Free." I listened to it literally for the last 24 hours straight and I can't believe that nothing happened with that song! I'm obsessed. I think that the singing on our season was just insane."

Minaj's time on Idol helped her land her new role in the Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann film "The Other Woman." Nick Cassavetes who directed the film, called Minaj to have her read for the role of Lydia because after seeing her on Idol he thought that she matched the qualities he was looking for. Minaj plays Diaz's assistant in the revenge-comedy which also stars Kate Upton.

The film will hits theaters this Friday, April 25.
